iLok? NO, please. Why not ? It's really very convenient, you can use your software anywhere, a great proportion of commercial plugins use it, and it's quite cheap (35€). If the company goes out of business, you can still use your software, and you can insure the key for a fee if you're afraid of lo...

Request for less interference from copy-protection... The product is very cool and i appreciate the desire to ensure that people PAY for the hard work in creating it... but those of us that DO pay, are then still affected by the copy-protection stuff. Yes, support was quick to solve my problem with ...

iLok? NO, please.

Same problem but no known reason for it to have happened. Can you PLEASE put some kind of interface on the website so we users can delete old authorizations that no longer are valid configurations for whatever reason that the authorization manager decided that our computers changed? i haven't change...

[...]Rather than re-install of the application, I chose to rectify my problem by simply going to PREFERENCE PAGE and on the DATA tab I removed the data path already listed, then added the same data path back (exactly what was already listed there in the first place). BFD2 then automatically re-scan...

Sorry... I disagree with you. Even if you don't have 7200 drive, you can get a 500GB drive for less that $50 and added to the others, it's still a better investment. I have been using an eSATA drive on my MBP and it has never produced any performance problems with BFD2. eSATA is my first choice ove...

thanks for the recommendations!

eSATA card for the MBP is only $40. eSATA enclosure for your current drive is only $20. Far better investment than an FW800 drive in this case. jord I don't think so, since continuing to use the 5400rpm drive I have now for audio would be foolish. :-/ BFD2 requirements list 7200rpm for drives... ha...

USB2 is perfectly usable, but sometimes controller chipsets can cause problems. There are quite a few factors at work. It may be that the firewire controller in your computer works better. As jeff said, eSATA will give you the best performance. In general, make sure you look out for these (they are...

Hey folks, i'm looking for recommendations on an external portable Firewire 800 drive to carry with my MacBook Pro as an audio storage device and BFD2 data drive. Anyone have any comments about the "G-DRIVE mini 500GB?" Would i be okay with this being my BFD2 storage device? it's the first...

This sounds more extreme than the chirps from the past. I'm definitely inclined to think you should take a look at Jord's advice. Let us know if there's any improvement. it seems that you (both/all of you) are correct. it's the USB drive. i used 16-bit mode and increased the RAM buffer and it seems...

(duplicate post)

First question I'd ask is: If you're not producing/editing video, why would you use a 48K sample rate? lower latency and the system mixer is set to that (less resampling needed in system mixer if they match). recently i had to increase the system mixer to 24-bit because there was audible dithering ...

Can you post an MP3? I haven't had any problems with chirping in a long time, but if I hear it, I'll tell you if it's the same kind of noise. Could be something system related, where a bottleneck (maybe the USB drive) is causing glitching. What are your BFD2 settings? http://dysamoria.com/content/e...

Actually we gotta good bead on this one, and I think we've cracked it. The chirps, as far as I can tell, are caused *only* by BFD2 Kicks Drums which have a reduced channels count (10) versus BFD1-Kicks and other kick piece types in BFD2. The chirps only appear at the very end of the kick's tail, an...
