I am a little confused (nothing new) about where to put Rock LEgends Kit 2 for SD3

BTW... it is also called Evil Drums Eco Kit 1 in the install. At the top of the install window it says Rock Legends Quickpack installer. I am wondering if I got what I bought...

Anyway, I will see if I can get SD3 to find it now.

If you bought the Platinum Samples SD3 kits they are different from the ones for BFD and can only be used with SD3. SD3 can play kits located anywhere but I would integrate the expansion kits into the SD3 tree.

Thanks scook... I am trying. I downloaded from Cake, I think that was a mistake. I deleted everything and am downloading the zip files again from the Platinum Samples website. Maybe this will work. I am going to try to put it in the same place as the AJ kit that it will find. Perhaps when I unzip and install this time it will offer me the correct path. I am uncertain about all this. I've not done a lot with drums and expansion packs so installing them in the right place is something I am not comfortable with but I'll figure it out... if I get stumped I will post again.

Thanks for responding!

OK, I got this. Possibly because I changed the path before.
This is what I get:
 

I am going to delete browsing history, run CCleaner, and try again. I will download from my account at Cakewalk unless you think that is a mistake. I seem to get the zip files either way. I don't know why the Andy Johns kit went to the right place and I am having trouble with this. I am fairly certain that it is because of something I did wrong involving (x86) ... but I meant well...

I will clean, reboot, and be back to check to see if you think I am on the right track.

Thanks,

J

Have you registered the serial number you got from the Cakewalk store at the Platinum Samples website?

 
I went to the PS website and it shows that I have two products registered. The AJohns and The Gretch Limited Ed. Rock Legends Kit... and no, I didn't register anything at the PS website recently. Geez, maybe I bought something and forgot about it. The SN on my Acct page at CW is different from the SN for the Gretsch kit. I will copy the SN from my acct and try registering a new product.... maybe that is the problem. Maybe I bought a kit for BFD Eco and forgot about it. I am absolutely capable of that..
 
Will try registering the CW SN now. BRB.

Downloading now... user error as usual.

I guess the question should be why did you choose to buy the Rock Legends kit for Session Drummer 3 when you already have the BFD version of that kit....

 
I guess te answer would be... I should pay more attention to what I have. I have been buying this and that, preparing to learn and buying when deals are to be had. I guess it is good to know that I know what sounds I like, even if I don't know what I have... lol. I already installed the SD3 version, it went well. I do not seem to have the BFD Eco installed, at least I don't see it when I open the standalone BFD Eco. I guess it would be good to have something else. Considering that I seem to like this kit, can you recommend something? I can uninstall the SD3 version or not install the BFD version.
Really, I am open to suggestions and I won't complain... I know I need help! ...and I REALLY appreciate the offer, it is above and beyond.

I will email you... email sent.

OK, I have it all sortedout for now. I really didn't realize that the Gretsch kit and the Rock Legends 2 were the same but  I am glad to know and will work with you (Rail) to get something else. This is really good CS I think. You didn't have to do this.

That's incredibly cool!!! Enjoy your drumkits

 
It is very cool. I just got the Joe Barresi kit 1 for SD3. As it says Rail informed me that what I had bought was a part of something I already had for BFD Eco, they had different names and I did not realize it. It is a GOOD rep who will take the time to point something like this out and offer to give me another product (he let me keep the SD3 kit that I had already bought and installed). Now both are installed and Platinum Samples has a loyal customer.
I also wanted to say that, and I am sure Rail wont mind since we are all part of a small community as it were. He told me it would have to wait until he got back to the office because a member of his girlfriends family was killed in an auto accident the night before and he had to go. So condolences to them. I did not pry but I thought I would pass it on.
 
Rail is A-OK, #1 in my book and Rail if you read this I am sure I speak for everyone here that we feel for your girlfriend's family. Tell her that people she does not even know care and send either our prayers or mojo. We care.
 
I hope everyone sees how Rail went beyond the call when he could have done nothing and I would not have known... that shows good character in my opinion.
