Not sure if this is genuine or not but just thought I'd pass it on in case it is.
Normally BFD2 upgrade is $199 but it claims to be $95 here BFD2 upgrade

I know your all spent out now and some have you have just forked out for BFD Eco
but it is what it is

That's mean, man... ;)


Interesting. Only need to see how quickly they (FXP) take care of my Rock Legends issue and I'm pretty much sold. 


Do they do download only?

Sam Ash also offers the $99 deal. That takes care of the problem.

Yes Rain
You can get a download only version. 
The download version however is 20bit and not 24bit so it's a little smaller.
Otherwise it would be a 55GB download. I don't think there is any audible difference between 
20 & 24bit but some have complained as you would expect.
You can order the disk versions if you prefer but not sure if you can get it at the same price.

Rain, did you get your installation problem sorted?

You should have 3 folder locations for fxpansion. AppData\Roaming\fxpansion, MyDocuments\fxpansion and C:Programs\fxpansion

If the empty folder is in your documents that might be because it's for your own personal saved presets which you won't have created yet. 

 
As for not allowing you to install to another drive that sounds like an installer problem. I have heard of it but not had it myself.   You can create a folder on your storage drive, call it fxpansion, then another folder inside called BFD Eco in to which you can move your data/audio folder. Then open eco and "rebuild databases" from the main screen drop down.
It's best with both Eco & BFD2 to get it all set up in stand alone. 
When you get BFD2 you can then  tell it (hopefully0 to install the data to your fxpansion folder where it will create it's own BFD2 folder.
Hope that helps

Steve

You know some of us can hear the fine detail of a 24" kick drum tailing off to a 120dB noise floor. Cut us some slack! If only there were hardware that could actually convert beyond 120dB SNR...


Hold on… my neighbor's phone is ringing… oh, it's for them.

Yes and some people have been visited by aliens and seen the virgin Mary helping herself to their cornflakes I'm sure 

Who am I to say they haven't ?

Most soundcards available today only make use of about 20bits during conversion anyway, so it makes sense to go for the download if you don't want to wait for, and pay more for, the 24 bit discs
