BFD2 is inserted as a simple instrument track

Interesting. I'd be interested to hear how tomixornot has got his BFD tracks set up.

Mine are set to split Midi/Audio, and I can run up to about 20 odd audio tracks to split out each kit piece to it's own track (+ additional tracks for the different kick & snare voicings)

Sounds like the drive throughput isn't up to snuff

Is the sample data on a dedicated 7200 RPM drive?

Hi,

Just realized there are some updates in this thread.. 

I'm inserting BFD2 as simple instrument track as well. 

The only different is after that, I manually insert another midi track and set the midi output to BFD2 and drag it under the same BFD2 folder. I'm using the second midi track mainly for hi-hats. I'm still using Step Sequencer for programming as I find it easier to use than the BFD2 interface.

@Rail : I think the drive speed may be the issue too. I have a few external HDD from PGMusic/Band-in-a-box after few upgrades and used them for my sample drive. I don't think these are 7200 RPM drives.

I'm not sure where I've read it, but I remembered reading something like putting the BFD2 samples to any external drive is better than sharing the same system drive, so I though of just set it up with the drives that I've got and see how it goes.

The best solution by far is to run them off a separate internal 7200rpm hard drive

Yup, shall upgrade to a 7200rpm drive soon. 

I'll probably get another drive for testing with Win 8 too.

Thanks.
