BFD Dark Farm Expansion Pack

So I finally grabbed Dark Farm during the latest sale. I’m not really in the need for kits, but that price seemed like too great a deal to pass up. You really get a lot for your money. I didn’t realize this thing was almost 90GB?!! It downloaded and installed fine though, just took me a couple days. It’s quite a RAM hog as well… I’m gonna have to use 4 memory slots, instead of 3, which in my Mac Pro, takes a small performance hit.

I just quickly loaded a few of the presets to hear it in action. Sounds so good… seems way more detailed and punchy, compared to older expansions. I’ll take a deeper dive in the future when I have time, but this seems like a great expansion to have in the arsenal.

Honestly, it is our best pack, BY FAR.

Great job to you and the team. I think it was a really important expansion for the brand because it was so out of the blue and at a time when the confidence with users was a bit up in the air. You really made a statement with the quality and let people know that BFD was actively working behind the scenes. It was a much needed release.

In your opinion, what was it about the sampling process that went into it, that made it turn out better than previous expansions?

Also, I don’t see a FAQ for Dark Farm on the support page? It would be cool to have some info on the ambient channels especially. I see there are 2 OH’s and 2 rooms and just want clarification on the differences and the other character mics.

I also have it.
I would really like to know more about the tech details of the channels (rooms, OHs, etc)

It is excellent and my favourite expansion.

I have it, but havent been able to use it yet. Why is it so big 90G ?

There are 3 kits with their own distinct shell samples and a pretty large compliment of cymbals? It’s really like 3 expansions in 1.

I’m trying to get a dry sound like this,any change of sharing preset?

Use one of the “Raw” Presets…drop the AmbMix all the way down…

These are pretty hot! I had to turn down the main gain to -10 so to not blow my ears off!

I would like to know if there’s a Library tracking notes from the Dark Farm as we have for the Core library.
It can be extremely helpful to know mics and equipment used on the channels.

This is all there is…
