2 works well, I don't use all of the features, really just the samples? And the UI. I put everything (all drums) out on mono channels and then mix the drums. I am aware that I do it a hard way? I'm sure the plug (both 2 and especially 3) is wide and deep. I don't use loops (no problem with those that do? I know most do, regardless of the SW) I do like BFD2, I'm sure 3 will be epic!! I won't be looking to buy, but those who use all of the features I'm sure will benefit.

What do you mean by, " a jamstix kind of engine" What is a jamstix engine and what does it do the BFD3 doesn't ? Steve

Ok, I do remember jamstix. It looks to me like BFD3 (and BFD2) does a lot of the things jamstix does but just in a different way though I have to say jamstix does look like it has some useful features. When you said engine you meant midi engine I'm guessing. I never use loops in my own songs so jamstix isn't really for me but it looks a useful tool. There are a lot of things regarding realism BFD3 can do that jamstix can't do, at least at first glance but I have to say after watching the jamstix 3 video it looks excellent for song creation. I had a demo of jamstix one years ago but didn't have much use for it. Maybe I'll give it another go. Steve

Steve,
I like the way Jamstix can call up a style (blues, funk, etc..) and a player. Then define the song structure such as intro, verse, chorus, and other parameters. Jamstix will proceed to create the drum parts automatically. ..although I must admit that I have not use of this feature as often as I liked.
I think it would be awesome to build up drum parts fast especially for none drummer like me. I hate to audition midi grooves one by one and chaining them up.. I always end up programming all the drum patterns in my projects.

Wondering if BFD3 can use BFD2 sound packs.
Just bought a bunch of them on their recent sales.

When is it due out?
Not sure what I can and can't say on the release date and in truth none of us beta testers are in the know as to any fixed date. I think (hope) it's ok for me to say that their target release is weeks rather than months away Steve

I wish I could say that I will upgrade, but in all honesty I've not the time, nor the dosh, to tinker with drums like I should. So I tend to fall back to Toontrack and Steven Slate (as I duck from Danny Danzi throwing old computer parts at me) more often than not. Occasionally I'll use some of the Abbey Road stuff now that I have .nkm/templates all worked out for the sets I have. I loves me the concept of Jamstix, which I own, but I've never gotten it to work well for me in 5 minutes or less.

My goto is Toontrack SD2 but I really like the Acoustic sounds of BFD2 and have imported a few of my own sounds. Looking forward to BFD3!

The Kit page does look different but it is kinda cool with the browser, mini mixer, and kit piece modifiers on the same page. Could speed up workflow. I just HOPE it is re-sizable! I'm taking a wait-and-see approach but will probably upgrade anyway...

The new UI is almost as great a departure as was BFD1 to BFD2. I have to say though I think the work flow is very much improved. I didn't like the new UI much at first but it has grown on me. I was all for keeping the kit view but with hind sight I only ever really used it to access kit piece parameters that are now much more accessible with the new, "tech/Model" tabs you can see on the left. I do still think BFD2 is sexier and as frivolous as I know eye candy is, it does matter in terms of sales. Not sure I'm allowed to say whether it's resizeable but if you look to the left of the, file/tool/help menus you'll see two arrows pointing in opposite directions. I'll let you do the math as to what they do  Steve

Sweetwater has it listed for $199. Waaaayyyy too much for an upgrade when I have several other drum apps.

I've never heard gentleman and a scholar used in the derogatory sense so I kind of guessed it was a sign of approval. Steve

Hoping that JRR Shop will still have the upgrade for $126.65 like they had the 1/2 day pre-order sale before it disappeared.

They have a pre-order listed for retail price on ebay.uk but it has the 'make offer' option available. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...26sd%3D161114249775%26

I went to Ebay and JRR had 4 download licenses available for $149. I made them the $126.65 offer so I'll know within 24hrs if they accept it or not. If they do, 54GB is going to be a marathon download for me....
