Things have been working good for a while, now this. I cant find it in the forum. Anyone had this problem before ?
I am afraid to uninstall BFD3 because I dont want to lose my custom kits.
Im on a good computer and Pro Tools 2022.
Thanks
Hi. I think you’re going to have to tell us more about what conditions you’re talking about before anyone can help. To start are you on Windows or Mac? Is this happening with certain presets, certain kits, or everything? What changed on your system around the time you noticed degraded sound? Does this happen after loading a new kit or after calling up a project in Protools? Have you checked your Master bus to see if you accidentally added reverb and delay? Have you moved room mics around and have their gain set high?
thanks.
oddly enough, on other sessions, everything’s good.
this is a new session i created last week. i was laying rough tracks, so i didnt mind. the wild sound actually was cool.
BFD is the only plug in in this session. i bounced back and fourth between other sessions and couldnt find any different settings in Pro Tools or BFD.
Im not real technical with bfd, I basically built 1 kit in Oblivion, and I stick with it.
in the faulty session, every preset sucks.
Ive had bizarre things happen in the past, that only seem to happen to me. I will try creating a second instrument track, put BFd on it, and see what happens. The last resort will be uninstalling and re-installing BFD.
Any advise on how to preserve my user presets ?
If you are still on PC…(older post)
The location for the User preset Folders is
C:\Users\3D\Documents\BFD Drums\BFD3\Presets…
or just copy (for backup/peace of mind) the whole BFD3 Folder if you have User Kits,Presets, Grooves etc etc and copy to that location after re-installing…then re-scan User Content Paths
C:\Users\3D\Documents\BFD Drums\BFD3
If you’re getting a huge reverb and snare echo … then I can only think that there are actual effects inserted into the mixer somewhere.
Try resetting the mixer, or bypassing the effects?

OK , so its been a while. Im still having the problem.
I found that for some reason, in newer projects, BFD is loading up with FX on. Not good FX. If I turn off the FX, its OK, but I imagine my favorite presets ( Oblivion; Face Full of Smack) does have Fx on it.
But if i go to an older file/song, its fine.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BFD, no change.
A few months ago, I started using the SSL control surfaces. Im also having assertion errors and crashes. I wonder if they are related.
For many years, BFD has been pretty solid. This is strange.
