Anyone have BFD-2 and like it with Logic?

Is it musician friendly? Are the presets good? Play well with Logic? I have a 2.2 ghz MacbookPro with 2g ram - will this suffice? I currently have BFD 1.5 and rarely use it because I don't have great drum mixing skills and the room sound has too long of a reverb tail for my tastes.
Thanks for any feedback.

Winnie?
As a drummer I can do most things most of the time with BFD 2 - if I have time but no money.
I can do everything all of the time (drum chops allowing!) with my drum kit - if I have limited time but spare cash.
With my kit miked up I could probably do in 10 mins what I can do in two hours with BFD and a keyboard.
If you want a great sound with BFD you have to be able to get a great sound from a real drumkit recording. That is, you have to be able to mix drums - and that is not just about setting the mic levels. If you're not sure about drum mixing you will learn a LOT from BFD and you will never regret gaining such a skill.
BFD is like working with a real kit. If you just want some cool drum loops to play with then you'd probably be better off with sample loops and all their pre-produced glory. It certainly is possible to use BFD as a sort of dial-up loop player (and it has some great beats) with the mixer presets etc, but BFD really does need (deserve?) custom tweaking to get the good stuff out of it. That's what it was designed for.
As a drummer and an engineer its a dream package for me. (I'd love to try Superior 2 as well though!)

    Anyone have the problem I'm having with the Safari collecting cookies even when I'm not on a website?  I cleaned everything out and checked several times.  Each time cookies were added that I've never seen with my older version of Safari.  I have the block third parties and advertisers but I don't think it works.  Here's a sample of what is popping up:  247realmedia.com, 2mdn.net addthis.com, admeld.com, adsafeprotected.com, adsonar.com, bit.ly, bluekai.com, bluelithium.com, bluetoad.com bondware.com.......... over 100 things without a clue where they are coming from.  Especially since I'm not on any webpage!  How do I report a bug?  Is there a way to fix this?

    You can't win, the government, advertisers, social sites, search engines and devices makers are all in cohoots to profile everyone.
    Live off the grid and have your freedom or tell everyone your business and let them mold you, there is no "in between", try as you may they just come up with new stuff to watch you, through your web cam, via the hidden microphone and even can turn on some cell phones microphones too.
    You may be paranoid, so is the government, and they got more money, power and resources at their disposal to act on it.
    Erase the whole hard drive and reinstall, if you can't do that, trash the entire machine and go read a book.

  • I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes.  Just got my wife an iPhone also.  Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself?  I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.

    The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

  • I can hear people on call but sometimes they can't hear me, it maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

    I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Does anyone have Ford sync allowing text messaging with IOS 7.0.4?

    I had all the settings working when I was on ios 6, but now that I have upgraded it quit working.  I removed the sync from my phone and removed the phone from my phone from sync then paired again.  Then set the sync notifications back to on but still no text.  Does anyone have ford sync allowing text messaging with IOS 7.0.4?

    I need to update, my messaging is now working.  Apparently after going through the steps and the settng notifications to on all I had to do was turn off the car, open the door, and then return.  When I got in my car this morning the text messaging (recieve only) was working.

    I'm about to buy a keyboard, does anyone have a recommendation re best connectivity with Garageband? I've read about difficulties in this area

    Most any USB keyboard is fine, it's a matter of budget and what keyboard tactile feel you prefer... they all work by plugging a USB cable from the keyboard to the computer and are recognized automatically.
    Most have either a shift button that permits some mapping of instruments and other MIDI advanced stuff, others have dedicated buttons and displays. But any of them out of the box in default configuration is plug and play.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
