Any one else getting constant crashing in standalone mode?
After a few minutes of playback, the output of the BFD3.5 likes to kick itself out of my interface. When I re-engage the desired output, it’ll just crash after a couple minutes. This is an every-time occurrence.
Also, an issue that has plagued BFD3 (STILL) is samples being triggered that aren’t in the groove, and some of them won’t even be a loaded sample, it’ll be piano notes. BFD isn’t a resource hog for me, but for whatever reason, samples load super slow and grooves will get really bugged out. As much as I love BFD’s sonic quality…man, I’m starting to think it’s time to give up the ghost.

Yes, me too.
Did a full install of 3.5 yesterday as suggested (removed all traces of the ‘old’ BFD3 from Library, Application Support, etc) and it’s been constantly crashing since.
I should raise a support ticket to investigate it but I’m getting to the point where I really don’t want to spend anymore time doing this as it’s the only software I have consistent issues with but I’ll probably change my mind in a few days.
Yes. But it’s also happening constantly with the plugin in Logic. So often that I have stripped BFD out of projects until it is fixed.
I haven’t had any crashing with the standalone version since upgrading two days ago, but I have had frequent crashing inside Nuendo 14.0.20. I find in particular I can’t close one project that uses BFD and open another that also uses BFD without it torpedoing Nuendo so hard it just goes away with only a nondescript “error” popup box without any further information. That’s pretty terrible as Nuendo usually gives me some kind of “plugin X has done bad stuff, so we need to restart now” kind of message when something goes wrong. Not with BFD 3.5: it murders Nuendo outright. Yikes.
it’s begun to do glitch out in Studio One 5 for me as well. The samples never load smoothly and completely. I keep my samples on an external hard drive, so maybe that’s the problem…but my drive has really fast read/write speeds.I hate that BFD is so amazing sounding, but is plagued with instability. When it works, it’s THE best drum VSTi.
