I'm loving this product so far. The interface is great, in particular their mixer. Sonar could be better if it was to adopt a couple of their ideas. Something simple like the pop-up routing indicators really help visualize what's going on. They even have their own version of the Pro Channel.
 
I've been struggling with Kontakt 5 and Studio Drummer and I don't think I'll struggle for much longer now that I've tried BFD2. The sounds don't seem to be as polished, but there's way more flexability and tweaking is pretty easy. Seems like the most comprehensive drum software I've looked at so far.
 
My only question is on the output routing for BFD2. I find it very difficult to route Kontakt drums to individual tracks in Sonar and was hoping that BFD2 would be easier. I can't tell that due to limitations in the BFD2 demo. It can't be used as a plug-in so routing issues are still unknown. If you have experience with part of BFD2 please let me know. Life is too short for Kontakt drums.
 
Off to put in a feature request for pop-up routing guides in Sonar's console view. Have a good one.

Routing in BFD is easy peasy, especially compared to Kontakt which is totally un-intuitive.  The drums don't sound as polished because they are left "dry" for you to process...with the plugs that are included in BFD or in Sonar using Cake's or any third party VSTs.  You're gonna love BFD ol pal.  Good choice.

Yeah, BFD2 rocks. I just bought it on sale for half price a few weeks ago... and they now have a 10 dollar drum kit add on special running, now.

Just went to their site and logged in (I'm an owner of BFD2). Went to the store. I see no $10 specials. Where did you see these?

It's in an email. I deleted it before I saw this thread so can't provide the link/details but if you're on the mailing list then you will get it.

From the product page, click on the web shop link and the special price is displayed (or at least it is for me).  I originally got sent a link to the shop page but I've deleted it - sorry. If you don't have success following the link as I describe, perhaps someone else can send you a copy from the email.

Looks like there are at least 2 of us with some form of OCD regarding trash

So, in a nutshell which kits are $10? The $50 ones? The $79 ones? The $125 (and greater) ones?

Or is it just individual kit pieces?
