Thanks for the info. :)

I still haven't had much time to put Eco to test. I did, however, check out the incredible libraries that Platinum Samples put out for it and Joe Barresi's kit is simply jaw dropping.

Since I didn't want to upgrade to BFD full for the moment, I checked the Eco Kit. The one thing that kept me from grabbing it is the machine gun snare at 18 seconds in the first demo. I suspect this might be due to some limitation in the BFD engine - I didn't hear anything similar in the BFD full version.

Maybe someone can shed some light on this...

Otherwise, I've been a fan of EZ and now SD even since I've first tried EZ. Overall, the BFD kits seem to sound more natural. If I were a drummer, I'd probably be inclined to use BFD.

EZ and SD kits seem a bit more "prepared" - not as excessively as Steven Slate's SSD kits, but kinda half-way.

As a songwriter and "aspiring engineer", EZ and SD puts me a few steps further on the way to a good drum sound for the song w/o being as processed as SSD, so I can still polish them a bit and make them work in the song myself.

Here's a real quick video showing the Snare playing a roll and that section of the demo using the latest build of BFD Eco

This isn't downloadable is it? I really wanted this but it seems it's not for us folk in the UK

Upon registering at Fxpansion there is a major update application installer version 1.0.1.27 download available in my 
Fxpansion online account...don't really know if that's the whole sha-bang or not...

I doubt it since it comes on 2 DVD's ...it's a pretty good size library just for the Cymbals...
And is has Eco DV.....

Nope ...it's only 49 MB in size....and says you must install the 2 DVD's before running it...

Where's my wallet?! 

Amazing. :)

It's just an update to the the Eco DV applcation...

It's the two DVD's that are the problem. I don't think audiomidi ship to the UK.
Having said that I haven't actually checked.

This probably isn't the right place to ask, but it's worth a try...

When I try to route BFD Eco individual outputs, I get a drop down menu starting w/ outputs 11-12 and giving me only 3 other options (2 busses or main)... Like it skips the first 11 outputs. :s

Nevermind - found the answer. The routing is a bit odd but I'll get used to it.

It is a little odd but basically your outputs within sonar (or any other host) are predetermined.
I think this is how sonar is able to name tracks for you which is something I really like about Eco.
Not a big deal but it saves a little time I guess.
