I’m inclined to suggest waiting until you have everything set up because a) most of your issues might be due to your current computer and b) you may find you have lots of new problems setting up BFD3 on your new system when you get it.
I’ll check Chocolate audio and Modern Retro when I get home but I’m pretty sure it’s all wrong as it should.
Yeah - I’m leaning towards it being a windows and this crap machine issue, but not 100%.
Got at least another 4 weeks to wait for the new build all being well.
When I eventually get it my first priority is just to get cubase, reason, and ableton running before I load any of these extras in.
I’m not showing any major problems at present with the current bfd licence manager and the program as a whole - it’s all workable - to a fashion - at the minute, so fingers crossed.
Can’t wait until all the bfd troubles are well and truly behind us all.
As far as the Modern Retro, IIRC those presets have always been like that, either a bug in the preset or they are like that for some purpose, if the latter the purpose escapes me . The relevant Basic Sonar and Tama Kits do work though and can be loaded. There are shed loads of presets that do work OK so I never thought much about it
It’s not any problem with the Modern Retro presets, and as you say there are loads of presets. It just seemed strange to have only mic channels in the mixer.
It’s very rare I use presets - of any kind - it just jumped straight in the face on load up.
I tend to build all my kits from scratch from a cross section of packs. I look for, and try, different kit pieces against the piece being written. If it fits it’s used, if it don’t - we just move on until we find what we’re reasonably happy with until final mixdown.
