BFD Drums has released BFD 3.5 drum studio plugin. 70% off $59.99 US

NOTE: I’d love to get feedback on this. I have a disc of BFD Eco that I’ve never installed and was hesitant to upgrade to BFD, even when it was going for less than $50, because I’d heard so many negative things about — including from a developer friend who used to use it and uninstalled it after years of software problems. I have experienced major problems with InMusic AIR plugins — problems that they knew about and waited several months to address, and I thought BFD Player was a pretty poor release for a large software company. I’d love to see them step things up, but I wonder if the current development team and lack of resources from InMusic will result in something that is at the level of Addictive Drums or ezDrummer (I don’t think it’s realistic to expect something comparable to SD3) BD3 is now, I believe, more than 10 years old, and BFD only seems to have gone downhill since InMusic bought the product line.

BFD Drums has released BFD 3.5 drum studio software for Mac & Win.
The intro is 70% off – $59.99 US (reg. $199.99) – until April 3rd. BFD expansion packs are 50% off during the promotion.

Just got a 2nd email from them. The first had an invalid link for the PC update. The 2nd only worked in Edge. But I am now happily downloading the update. The link might be customer-specific so I hesitate to paste it here.

Studio One, Windows, RME UFX, Yamaha MSP7

Please share your thoughts after you have a chance to spend some time with the new updated software, @fretman. I would love it if they made some great improvements. I want BFD to be great drum software. Heck, I love the update that AD2 did last year, and I can’t wait for AD3. I think SD3 is the best tool on the market, but I also think Toontrack is greedy AF and prices things way too high when it comes to SD3 to take advantage of the lack of serious competition for premium acoustic drum software. I find that they’re incredibly disloyal to customers (they only offered SD2 customers the opportunity to upgrade to SD3 at reduced pricing for a limited time then never again offered loyalty pricing, very unlike every other software company) , and I would love to see them get some serious competition. While I have had bad experiences with InMusic software (I had to reinstall Windows because of their software issues, and they knew about the problem for several months before fixing it), if I saw enough users posting great experiences and they made their software competitive, I would still give them another chance.

My biggest gripe with BFD going back many years is the description of the Kit/Preset is never mentioned. IOW I purchase an expansion called Oak Custom yet I never see that in the Kit/Preset Browser. Yeah it’s cool that they say stuff like “80’s Pop ShmopBeBomp” or some such, but why can’t they also say “Oak Custom”?

BTW, I see the same issue with Slate Drums, although I’ve not checked in with them in a while even though I own all the expansions and Trigger expansions as well. Once you pick a kit/preset you’re on your own months/years later to determine what it was when you loaded it.
