I am not familiar with BFD other than demos on its site; however, the only caution for me is the possibility that a plug-in will quit working.  For that reason, I like to capture separate audio tracks so I always have a remix option.

Sounds like I am being overly cautious, but right now Electri6ity, Acoustic Legends HD, and RealLPC are all non-functional.  (The first two due to a Vir2 update a tech did without asking me.  RealLPC issue is caused by confusion in how a tech set up VST folders.)  I also cannot find Andy Johns drums—no explanation for that one.

This will all eventually get resolved, but, in the meantime, I am glad I have audio tracks.

same here,as far as bfd is concerned i dare not try to explain with twaddle here :)
 
but to answer your question,every instrument is fighting for space and sometimes a good mix comes down to 1-2 instruments fighting too much for that space.
when one of them is a kick or a snare....its almost impossible to throw an EQ on a main drums mix and hope to settle down one or the other,though sometimes you may get lucky and will.mixing complex sessions,dont always bet on it.
