FL STUDIO SUPERIOR DRUMMER BUY SOFTWARE

Other music producers making beats, rap electronica and other genres I guess were happy with Reason and FL Studio and Ableton and realistic acoustic drums was barely on their radar. In home music studios if you’re wanting realistic, organic acoustic drums it seems that majority of these music producers are making heavy rock and metal and superior seemed tailored to that genre. This is one of the main reasons I think BFD was seen as less popular.

Lack of appeal / marketing toward new clients.

Dated GUI (AD2 is just a year younger than BFD3 but is still seems refreshing, at least for me).

Workflow issue (glitches, crashes, hard to learn).

Now what gets to me is that almost all of you are BFD followers since 1 or 2 and it may be hard to be objective when defending (justifying ?) a product that we bought and use for a long time… It’s also my case, BFD being the first drum software I do not get for free, if ya know. One day, South Korean or Japanese engineers will launch a drum VST looking like a 90’s operating system but with a hell of a sound, I tell you. Who is talking about it and what google trends shows ? Japanese… for an italian product once again a bit demanding. It synthesizes a real drum sound but it requires you to understand how a drum kit is assembled and how, for example, the drumstick tip shape can change the sound. Take Modo Drum from IK Multimedia (great and innovating software in my eyes).

They get the job done regardless of appearances. It may be cultural but they don’t fear to dirty their hands in an “unfriendly” workplace. Speaking about the eastern interest, the Taiko and Kabuki packs sure helped with that but I don’t know, it seems that they are really into the nerdy stuff. It’s reassuring to know that the team is aware about the workflow issue. Thanks for the answer, Drew, that makes my mouth dripping. Then again it joins what funkybot said, BFD being the nerdy outcast guy that still manages to find its way while focusing on what really matters (and after watching a big bang theory episode). You can maintain an individuality even while growing bigger and more accessible. Now I also wonder, if BFD sells more… we may have more great expansions ? I totally get what you say by “needs to retain it’s individuality” and I agree.

So many replies, thanks, it’s great to see people invested on this product. I think Drew’s overall product ideas are right on track with where BFD should go (at least in my mind).

More fun if you wanted to mix your own drums and get into the thick of it. So short version: I think BFD has always kind of been the nerdy, less immediately easy to use product. Whereas I think SD3 made their GUI even more slick looking and also got a nice content upgrade. It wasn’t very friendly looking, and it was still pretty complex.

When BFD3 hit, I think the content dramatically improved as did the presets, but the GUI went in a very unfriendly direction with the wireframe look. SD2 probably came out then and focused less on metal, but they kept things simple. But Platinum Samples started to put out some killer packs around that time. Some of the tunings just weren’t for me (a little too loose) and the room sounds were too roomy IMO. I never really fell in love with the factory content. BFD2 came out, and the feature set expanded quite a bit, the GUI changed but was still nice, but the complexity level increased. Me, not being interested in metal, didn’t care much. I’ve never actually used a Toontrack product, I was already on BFD when it was first to the scene, but the original Super Drummer seemed very heavily geared towards metal with mix-ready patches. My guess is the GUI and ease of use have a lot to do with it.
