Can your try that :
Create a new library folder.
In my case, my full path is :
Z:\AUDIO\Test Library\Kiki Kit\Audio\BS Kit\BS Timbale 1 brush
@VoilierBleu Hi there. So that kinda worked for me. Timbale 1, Timbale 2 and Timbale 2 brush all load and sound for me. However, I can load Timbale 1 brush, but when I play it, BFD3 Standalone immediately crashes.
@Fender_Bender : Could you give the md5 (or SHA1 or whatever hash function you want) of the bfdlac files in alt and hit please ?
Should be for Alt :

@VoilierBleu So, are our files for that Kit Piece/artic borked?
@jih64 : I don’t think so.

Just quickly glancing, it looks like they match up with what you posted.
We have the same files.
I suppose you have the same groove that failed, so you an repeat a test case.
Could you :
1/ Vary the profile (economy 16 bits, full, …) and play the test groove
2/ Try to reduce the number of master0x.bfdlac files (you must manually suppress them, then make the program respawn the tweaks xml file relaunching it or rescanning for example) and play the test groove.
Also, if you have a station with a Windows OS, give a try on it.
@VoilierBleu None of that worked. 16bit still crashes and all of the master bfdlac files for hit and alt all crash.
I don’t have a Windows OS set up for audio and I think I’m done trying to troubleshoot a brush timbale that I’ll probably never use.
just bumping this - and confirmed.
Loading Timbale 1 Brush causes a crash in BFD3 standalone
Loading Downbeat Kit Crash AND Ride Cymbal causes a crash in BFD3 standalone
life is too short to go through every kit piece to find out what other ones do.
Note: they also cause the last version of BFD3 from FXP to crash too - so this isn’t a recently introduced bug,
All these kit pieces work fine in BFD2 and the data in both the data folder and in the /appdata folder looks good so problem is elsewhere.
here are the fixes
Downbeat Crash and Ride are actually 7 channel files but bfdinfo.xml says they are 8 channel.
There is NO direct channel so edit the file (after backing it up) and remove the direct channel from the xml file and adjust the channel count to 7 (probably best to do this to info.xml too - as they appear to be the same contents)
The Timbale brush 1 has something wrong with it’s bfdinfo.xml file - a corrupt character somewhere. To fix copy the bfdinfo.xml file from Timbale brush 2 and over right the one in brush 1. Go through and edit the “brush 2” to “brush 1” obviously.
Do this to the info.xml file as it’s a copy.
Make sure you RESCAN those content folders in BFD3 after fixing
not sure why they work in BFD2 but it’s obviously much more resilient than V3
you’re welcome
We all appreciate the work you’ve put in to track down a fix for these issues, so thank you for your time there! As these aren’t showstoppers for me personally, I’ll probably just wait for official fixes to the installers (assuming that actually happens at some point?) and will update any expansions as needed. I’m not too savvy with this kind of stuff and don’t want to create more problems for myself trying to manually fix things. 
I think it’s unlikely you’ll ever see a fix from Sonic Reality - I could rant on about them all day but that’s not gonna help anyone.
Agreed that not having Timbale brush 1 isn’t a huge showstopper 
Ahhhh nice detective work! I can probably fix that without needing SR involvement, but they’d have to upload to their servers. I’m grabbing all the packs now. Will give them the once over.
yes - would be good to double check what I found…although all those are working fine for me now
This fix isn’t working for me. I edited the BFDInfo.xml. I cleared and rescanned a few times, but no dice. There may be a cache somewhere that I missed, but I don’t see it.
I’d suggest you double check your work
@exBFD_Drew was going to fix them and let everyone know when
like other promises from BFD…guess it never happened ?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this. Just fell off my radar.
Swapping in the BFDinfo.xml worked for me!
Thanks for all your efforts!
