Do you have The London Sessions?
You should be able to get a free copy as a BFD2 owner, just PM Drew and he should be able to give you a serial.

I got my London Sessions license via Drew before the BFD Drums takeover and it migrated seamlessly with the rest. You are as a BFD 2 licensee entitled to that.
It looks like migration is a significantly different problem on Windows than it is on OSX.
Sorry to hear your unwell Neil.
7 weeks is a long time to wait for a new system although I guess that might be down to lockdown and stuff. Can I ask who your getting it from?

Ah yes sorry, I’d forgotten we’d had this conversation already.
Yeah I should think you’ll be very happy with what’s coming in 7 weeks and BFD3 will run like a dream.
It’s Windows 10 I’m guessing?

I knew that devil. I knew it was making my life miserable. I got out, and the effort was worth it. I still have complaints, but I’m way more productive now. Only time I start Windows is for Windows-only games.

Yeah, I hear you. I’m tied to Windows right now because I have an RME Fireface 800 and a PCIe UAD2 Quad card that I can only run on a Windows machine at this point.
And for the record, I’m hating Windows 10. It was designed to be spyware and the bloat is out of control. When I upgraded my Win7 install, I spent 3 days removing stuff and hunting down settings to turn all the unnecessary stuff off. What a waste of time. Windows 7, however, wasn’t bad: definitely the best version of WIndows IMHO.
If Linux was an option I’d be gone in a nanosecond.

Would a recent used iMac with an OS that supports drivers for those devices work via a thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and a thunderbolt to PCIe expansion box? I’ve never used such an expansion box. I’m curious if they work without BS.
Computers suck, and Apple isn’t free of my ire either, but I do better in Mac OS than I ever have in Windows. I never used Windows 7; I feel like that makes me a heretic, ha ha. But then I never used Windows Me either.
DOS & 3.11, Win 95, Win 98/98SE, Win XP, Vista, Win 8.1, and finally Windows 10 via free upgrade.
What a mess of a UI the last two have been. I actually didn’t specifically hate Vista like everyone else did (whenever my GPU would crash, Vista would happily crash the game, and simply restart the graphics system; Win 8.1 & 10 goes to BSOD), but I do generally hate every moment of every session with any version of Windows. Still need it for gaming. Sigh.
I’ve been running a UAD2 Octo in a PCIe/TB2 chassis for years, along with an RME HDSPe card. Works like a champ with the TB2/TB3 adapter into my MacBook. Never a glitch with any of it. Seriously, not one hiccup, at any point, in all these years.
Macs are expensive, no bones about it. I can rationalize the expense given how much time I spend on it. I thought Win7 was pretty good, but Win10 is really annoying. I have a Win10 laptop for work, that I’m just unimpressed with.

This is really good to know. I’ve been wondering if anyone was doing this. Not that I want to rely on a tiny compact machine for all the things I need in a computer, but I might be forced into it by Apple refusing to sell power-user machines at reasonable prices.
