One of the greatest things about BFD is it's realism. I like having the raw,
inprocessed tracks for processing in the mix. I also can understand the
thinking that having preprocessed tracks can definitely save a bunch of
time. the new BFD (and actually one of the older BFD add-ons) has these
preprocessed tracks.

One of the things I hated about BFD was it's user interface. It just sucked,
IMHO. After going out and trying EZ Durmmer and Addictive Drums, these
pretty much left BFD in the dust. As I posted the other day, using EZ player
with BFD as the sound source did help things a bit as far as the interface
goes.

I just ran across this video of the BFD 2 which is going to come out around
mid November, most likely.

This looks like what I've been waiting for. It can use my existing
unprocessed BFD sample set plus it's going to have 55GB of new samples many
of which are preprocessed and ready to go. It's got it's own onboard mixer
and the individual tracks can be sent out to VST tracks in Cubase for
further processing on channel inserts.

I was talking to Morgan about this yesterday and he's having a seminar on
this up at ECCM as soon as they release the program to their distributors.
Might be a good excuse for me to fly up to New England, rent a motorcycle,
check out the fall foliage and then rent a Bradley fighting vehicle and head
down to Manhattan. I need a vacation in the worst way. I wanted to go to AES
and have some paella but .....noooooo.......
