I can see myself ending up exactly where you are at. Yeah, i figure people that pay $60 for their daw in general don't want to spend.what is BFD? $300 on the drums. there is a platinum package for BFD that sounds like god is playing. it sound the most like real awesome drums.
When i got BFD i auditioned all the competition and liked BFD best. I like the sound of it a lot better than EZD. It edits them all wherever they are in the song, so it's best to copy it and then edit. i never do it though cause i like to self sabotage.
also frees up resources if that matters to you. that way no issues with midi triggers and if something happens to BFD (loose a setting) you're ok. but yes, record them to a track in reaper is the way to go when done. I'm leaning toward doing most things in reaper. Then at the end, you record them all as wav files before you mix? I do like a few of the fx that come in the BFD mixer. The damping is really cool, and the way you can widen overheads and room mics.īut the thing i don't like, if you use the mixer, you are constantly going back and forth between daw and BDF and automating things (if you want to) is easier for reaper parameters then BFD ones. if true, that's a serious oversight imo.Īlso, the mixer is great, and the effect seem useful. but doesn't reaper have a midi object that works like that?Īlso BFD as far as i can tell has no "nudge" for midi notes in the grooves page. saves serious time when you decide a midi pattern you use in 20 places needs a tweak. one thing i do like is the ability to edit a groove and have it apply where ever it is used. and there are "humanizing" features on the bfd kit page. Yes, bfd has some cool stuff on the grooves page but after trying a lot of it i really don't use it.
#Free groove monkey work in bfd eco install
the install will do both by default i think and reaper may be using the 32 bit version.
#Free groove monkey work in bfd eco 64 Bit
check and see that you are running the 64 bit version of BFD. but i'm back to using a midi track instead of the groove editor. I don't know if i figured this one out in the end. I just bought it and I am experiencing exactly what you are Overall, I am happy though.not much info here though like you say Oh, and one more quirk, if I try to load a groove, and search grooves by a keyword, say "fill", it works, but then when I try to change to a diff search word, it doesn't work until I close and re open the window. I will say this, I like the sound of it a lot better than EZD.
The load palette thing is new to me as well.and the way if you edit a groove, it edits them all wherever they are in the song, so it's best to copy it and then edit. I put a question mark because I am new to the product, so I am trying to establish the best workflow. I am used to EZDrummer, where you put it all in Reaper and go from there, but it seems with BFD2, it's best to do everything in BFD2. The damping is really cool, and the way you can widen overheads and room ' pretty powerful all around.so much control. Also, the mixer is great, and the effect seem useful. I was going to drag beats into Reaper like I was doing with EZDrummer, but the midi editor in BFD2 has all the humanizing stuff like swings, velocity etc (the stuff at the bottom).that doesn't exist in Reaper. I click on the begining, then quckly go to where I want. I just bought it and I am experiencing exactly what you are, I have to go back to the beginning and it always starts, but if I try and start mid song, nada.quite annoying, but like you, I'm getting it done. sometimes bfd syncs sometimes it just doesn't playback with reaper. i'm making it work but things just aren't right. Yeah, i can't see how the midi editor in reaper can compete with a specific grooves editor.
