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.
