Authorizing your expansion libraryIn order to use the expansion library sounds in BFD, the product must first be authorized using the FXpansion License Manager. Its data must exist within one of the data paths set up in the BFD preferences in order for it to be scanned, authorized and added to the BFD database.

Proceed as follows:

1. Launch an instance of BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2 in standalone mode, or as a plugin in a host.

2. The expansion kit should be detected and scanned automatically.

If this does not occur, go to the BFD Eco preferences menu, BFD2 Data preferences or BFD3 Data Locations and make sure the expansion library’s data path exists in the list (add it if neces-sary) and click the ‘Scan data paths for new files’ button in BFD2 or select ‘Rebuild Databases...’ in BFD Eco’s preferences menu.

3. The FXpansion License Manager should now launch automatically.

Authorize the new expansion library in the License Manager in the same way you authorized BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2 and any other expansion packs you own.

Please consult the BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2 Quickstart Guide for a full guide to using the License Manager in order to authorize a product.

If you experience any problems during the installation, please consult our support page:www.platinumsamples.com/support

You MUST be registered to receive support. The License Manager authorization process registers your serial number automatically. Registering also means we have a record of

your serial number if you lose it.

Lost serial numbers will NOT be replaced!

Registering also allows you access to the download area.

12 13

Using your expansion libraryOnce your kit-pieces have been authorized, they are ready to be used in BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2.

• Ensure that you know how to use the ‘Type’ drop-down selector in the Kit-piece chooser panels to enable easy access to all newly available kit-pieces.

In BFD3 & BFD2 you can load any new kit-piece into any slot, with all articulations loaded even if the destination slot is designed for kit-pieces with fewer articulations. However, you may need to create new key mappings to any additional articulations loaded into the slot. Similarly BFD Eco allows you to load new Cymbal & Tom kit-pieces into the Percussion slots.

• Any presets or kits provided with the kit are available in the preset and kit chooser panels.

The Presets

It is suggested that you start by first loading the AFJ Basic presets. These are the basic kit & mixer presets without any additional effects in the BFD mixer.

You can search for the presets with the term AFJ to quickly locate the presets.

Please consult the BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2 manual for full instructions on loading presets/kits/kit-pieces and using the key mapping page.

13

Searching in BFD3, BFD2 and BFD EcoTo search for one of the Classic Drums kit presets or Kit Pieces, in BFD3, BFD2 or BFD Eco in the Chooser dialog click on the magnifying glass symbol and select AFJ. This will filter the list of presets or kit pieces so only the AFJ (Classic Drums) are listed.

Recording notes Recorded at Sound City Studios, one of LA’s greatest rock drum rooms, using a classic Neve 80 series console and through the electronics of a Studer A800 24 track tape machine, the Classic Drums expansion pack truly demonstrates why Andy has achieved legendary status. Using no compression and only the console preamps and EQ’s, and with each drum meticulously tuned by Andy himself -- the drums recorded in the Classic Drums expansion pack exhibit why the albums Andy has engineered and produced have sold over 150 million copies. To ensure that the drums would fit into a mix, and not to record the drums in a void, the drum sounds were checked with a rhythm section (drums, bass and guitar).

During the recording process some microphones were changed, others moved, and only two Royer ribbon mics were killed...

• DirectKick In: Sennheiser 421, Shure Beta 52.Kick Out: Shure SM7, Royer 121 (2), Neumann 47FET.Snare Top: Shure SM57.Snare Bottom: Shure SM57.HiHat: Shure SM57, Neumann KM84 .Toms: Sennheiser 421, AKG451, AKG452.Cymbals: Neumann u87, Neumann KM84, AKG 460.

• Overhead Pair of AKG 414EBU.

• Room Neumann u47 Tube (pair).

• Mono Room (‘Amb 3’) Coles 4038 ribbon mics, AKG 414EBU (pairs). More details and pictures are available on the Platinum Samples website.

Using the new sounds in BFDKits and Kit-Pieces

The data on all DVDs must be installed in order to use the Classic Drums presets.

New expressive possibilitiesClassic Drums features detail levels much higher than other BFD libraries. With a SuperSize installation, there are over 200 velocity layers for some hits. To access the higher velocity layers change the Max layers setting in the BFD2 Engine preferences.

WARNING!! Using velocity layers above 128 may severely overtax your system especially if you’re running any other soft synths with BFD.

Increased RAM overheadThe increased levels of detail in the new sounds cause a significantly higher RAM overhead compared to the content in the original BFD library. When using smaller amounts of RAM (768MB to 1GB), you should install Classic Drums with Small or Medium detail levels (see Installation guide for details), or consult the Performance Tips section in the BFD FAQ for other ways to optimize BFD for lower memory usage at the FXpansion website.

Using the Andy Johns Classic DrumsThe Platinum Samples Expansion Packs are Engineered Drums for BFD -- meaning the drums were recorded like they would be on a recording session. They were meticulously tuned and EQ’d and we even had a Bass and Guitar player at the session to ensure the drums would fit into a rhythm section. The result is an expansion pack which sounds great as soon as you load a kit.We suggest you load one of the AFJ BFD2/BFD3 or Eco presets. This will give you a balance for the drum kits as Andy would mix them.

The TomsThe Classic Drums expansion pack includes the Toms recorded with the snares off as alternatives to the same Toms with the snares on. Andy prefers to use a wide strainer on the snare which does cause more snare noise on the toms when the snares are turned on. By having the Toms available with the snares off you have the option of which Tom set to use.

The RoomThe Classic Drums expansion pack was recorded in one of LA’s greatest drum rooms. The dimensions of the room are 40 x 50 feet with a 25 foot high ceiling. Part of the room’s character is the delay time to the room mics. To preserve the room sound the delay to the room mics was not adjusted. If the room channels are pushed up very high, the slap in the room will be audible.

Bonus Grooves and VideoThe Classic Drums expansion pack includes MIDI Grooves and Fills which will be installed into BFD from Part 1.
