[ddots-l] Re: BFD nightmare continues

2GB of ram is pretty good however, I think the processor speed on this system 
could be part of the problem.

  2gb of ram and that kind of a system is pretty good. Phil, do you think that 
something like bfd would really overload a system like that? Just good stuff to 
know for future users of the plugin if that's the case.

The bfd was crashing when  loading in the pearl or the ayote kits. These, 
naturally, are the biggest kits. I turned off all the animation and turned on 
16 bit processing and this helped, at least until I loaded them into sonar, 
when it totally took out the whole computer once I began to play or record. 
From what I have determined, bfd and sonar just overload my athlon 3000 with 
2gb of ram.

    Phil replied: where did you find those settings?  Have you added those to 
the HSC set?

guy. I tried switching from asio drivers to wdm on the tascam and tweaking 
latency and such, and
    making sure the whole subsystem was 16 bit and no higher and it just won't 
do it. I can play the drums just fine on their own now at least, and even edit 
the kits, etc, but I can't record with them, which kind of defeats the purpose, 
a shame, too since this bfd can be made very accessible with hsc, not to 
mention it can be mapped to hardware control using CC values and if you use BFD 
all as the plugin, I can mix the levels of each piece of a drum kit, the
    room and pzm mics, etc, using the tascam to control the tracks 
individually. So, it is possible to use this, but not when the damn pc blows up 
when I try to record.

    Phil replied: did you manage to load up a second tom set so that you have 6 
toms instead of 3?  I never did get that working here.

    Phil replied: I understand.  Still may be worth shooting an E-mail out to 
FXpansion.  Would have thought that you should be able to run BFD on a system 
like yours.  Hmm, wonder what the minimum recommended system is for running 
BFD?  Also, have you added to the BFD HSC set that I set you?  If soe then, 
wouldn't mind taking a look at it.
