Phil. Haven't added to the hsc set yet. Still learning that. Also, tried
loading in a second set of toms, but the way they are mapped, they are so
far off from the other toms that it is useless. I have to go into the hit
options now and tinker with that a bit. I am going to come up with a custom
keyboard map for myself and when that is done, will try to pass it to you.
It will be a modified GM map that I'll work out. As for the options panel,
again, I had to have my sighted cousin do it. I will probably get hsc into
the mix more once I get this other crap sorted out. The minimum specs on
their web site was 512mb of ram recommended 1gb and at least 1 ghz
processor, which I have plenty of. I installed everything to a separate
drive. I have a feeling though that my project in sonar, plus jaws, plus the
bfd all plugin to get each drum on its own track is just too much. Some
friend sof mine tell me that single core processors are not going to cut it
here, and now my search is on for something better. So, work will probably
not progress much until I get a scenario where bfd and sonar will not crash
out the whole system. I could probably try the bfd groups plugin as opposed
to the all plugin, but that means I have to mix in the bfd interface more,
and I'd rather not do that since with bfd all, each drum has its own track
and the pzm and room mics have theirs and I can mix the project in sonar and
process each drum the way I want. GRRRR. OH well, back to guitar center
today to see if I can work out something.

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?

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.
Damon wrote: I am so bummed out I could cry.
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.
