I recently purchased fxpansion's BFD. I am extremely impressed with the results it has been giving me.

BFD ships on 2 DVDs with a comprehensive printed manual. There are about 9 Gigs of drum samples on the DVDs, each drum being multi-sampled at many different velocities.

It appears that BFD will work with just about anything in the way of host apps. It works with the following interfaces: VSTi, DXi, RTAS, AudioUnit and ReWire. The standalone version (included) runs under ASIO on Windows and CoreAudio on OS X.

Well, we're 17 songs into the next album. Once we have 20, we'll pick the best 12, do a few more passes over them and put the finishing touches on. Then we'll call it an album. (We might even name it.)

Progress is good. I also just got the latest version of Amplitube Live. It now comes with a plugin version as well. The plugin works quite well and sounds better than the amp simulator that I'm using now. The update was free, and solved another problem that I had been having with the software. I will be writing a review of it soon.

This is a 4 song 15 minute CD made from a recording session during the summer of 2003.

The original session was recorded analog on a Sony stereo reel-to-reel deck.

The music is instrumental guitar jazz.

I went to the Skyjumper show last week at Revival Bar. Good show. I was there to take pictures as well as to see the show.

I blew through 72 shots in the first 20 minutes of the set. I think I got some pretty good ones. Once I have the image gallery up I will post some of the best ones.
