I need a template for BFD

Hey all Logic/BFD users:
I finnally got BFD and I'm getting ready to install and set up within Logic. It looks like I have a lot of learning ahead of me and would appreciate if someone could post a template for BFD/Logic. I did a search, but links were dead.
Also, any other advice on BFD, or getting started with BFD, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I use BFD and am absolutely thrilled with it. "Out of the box" and loaded "as-is" was OK but once I tweaked the direct vs room ratio and came up with a better mix for the individual outputs it was great. I get people asking "Who was the drummer?" all the time.
As far as a template for the individual drums going to seperate channels or outputs I have found that to be a bit cumbersome. Here is what I do that really works better IMHO.
I program the drums I want for the song and then copy the object with the midi onto 5 tracks of the same BFD instrument. Then I label them KIK, SNARE, HAT&RIDE, TOMZ, & OHDS(crashes). I then delete all the instruments that AREN'T in the track which is easy. I now have the whole thing split out in midi info.
Next I simply render them to AUDIO and print them on individual tracks. I tend to render everything to audio because I can always go back to the "pre-mix multitrack" version of the tune regardless if I still have the plug ins or samples. It also seems to sound better when mixing with actual audio files as opposed to virtual synths and plugs.
It may seem that this adds an extra step and time but I really don't think it costs me anymore time than keeping it all virtual and tweaking the sounds. Plus it's less of a CPU load. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

  • Need good template for Artist - Must have GOOD instructions

    Hi.
    I'm not a total Newbie, but I'm looking for a nice template for artists. The important thing is that it has really good instructions for customizing it. I'm not totally new, but I don't have the time to learn right now so the instructions need to be really basic. No "assuming" I already know CSS.
    It needs to have the ability to show lots of pictures and blow them up when clicked. I'm willing to pay for it as long as it's doable.
    Thanks.

    I haven't thought about using Wordpress. I know a lot of people use it. Would there be a steep learning curve going that route?
    Any learning curve is subjective. Try it and see if it's a good fit for you.
    Wordpress is widely used by novices and experts alike.
    Actually, I remember now that I did look into it but found that being on a Mac there were some extra steps involved getting started  and I couldn't find explanations or definitions for some of the terms.
    There are no extra steps for a Mac compared to a PC that I'm aware of.
    Ask specific questions about terms and you'll get specific answers.

    Well, that's an interesting question that doesn't have a

    have an article on the same site I just referred you on the
    subject of "What

    The subject doesn't get discussed much here, because some

  • ZAV template for Adobe CS6 ETA

    Hi, anyone knows if the ZAV team is working on the application template for Adobe CS6? Just wondering as we are looking to deploy this soon and it would be great if there was a template available or at least knowing the template is coming would be good too.
    cheers
    Wil

    Wil,
    I'm not privy to what the development teams are doing, but if you need a template for CS6 you can always file a feature request at www.novell.com/rms and make it known that CS6 is wanted (I'm not sure if anyone who would actually be able to push for that internally frequents the forums and I wouldn't be able to do much besides file a feature request anyway).
    In the meantime, snapshotting should generally work.

  • Template for Travel Itinerary Requested

    I'm a PC transfer. I've used an itinerary form for years with styles to indent activities, hotel information, flights, addresses, under headings for days. It was easy to read and the styles (font type and size, spacing, indents, etc.) made it easy to use, as I just applied them.

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    I downloaded iDraw - which is an Adobe Illustrator wannabe for the iPad. You can export to PDF and other formats using iDraw. iDraw also supports file sharing. File Sharing is the iPad/iTunes way to send files back and forth from the iPad to your computer and back again.

    This is a link to iOS File Sharing which you will find useful as well.

    There are third party apps in the app store that will allow you to use virtually any printer even if you don't have one of the HP AirPrint compatible printers.
    You can even use an app like Pages to create your templates. You can insert art and photos into Pages and it supports file sharing as well. Pages is a Word Processing app and I would be inclined to not use it for your purposes but it will work for some basic designs however it's certainly not ideal for creating artwork.

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier

    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier

    contenant Templates > My Templates

    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.

  • Need to create stupid proof templates for non-designers

    Ok folks, I'm new to this forum having come across it in search of a solution to my problem.
    I need to create illustrator template files (.ai not .ait) that customers can download and use to create their own artwork for print. I have to create them in every printable paper format from business cards to A3 posters, folding, non-folding yada yada.
    Now, previously, we used an .ai file with a guide layer we created. This guide layer had all relevant info, was named accordingly. It was set not to print and locked. As I tend to use print to file, distiller and all, this has always been perfectly adequate to create my pdfs. Of course, this doesn't work the same way when saving a pdf, which is what most people do. However, customers who wish to download the templates are having some difficulty with the concept of 'make sure you delete the guide layer before saving your pdf'.
    For the most part, the customers using these files are not illustrator literate. Even though there are clear instructions to 'delete' the guide layer when saving the needed pdfs, they are failing to do so. This means when the .ai (with the non printable layer) is saved to pdf, the guide layer as a hidden object is saved within the pdf. Upon printing at our printing facilities, the guide layer has been printed with disasterous results.
    A possible solution we came up with was to use the ruler guides to create the guide layer. For this solution to work though, I need to be able to use different colours for different guides within the same document. Which we can't. We can only change all the guide colours and they are all the same colour.
    Another idea would be to outline text indicating various printable and non-printable areas and making them into guides via View>guides>make guides, which works to an extent but looks messy, especially when viewing the full page and again, isn't particularly distinctive, leading back to having different guides in different colours.
    I've come across another possible solution involving template layers. Viewing the resulting pdf seems fine and in all purposes it does what we need, except for when reopening the saved (not printed) pdf back in illustrator, the template layer is still there and I need it gone. The same way it would be if the .ai were printed to postscript and sent through distiller.
    My ideal solution would be to have to ability to have the different coloured ruler guides in place throughout my document, but as I previously stated, all guides have to be the same colour and that's useless in this instance.
    So, has anyone got any bright ideas. Coincidentally I need to create the same templates for both psd and indesign but I'll cross that bridge when I've figured this out.

    Hey Mike, thanks for the response.
    1. Not a chance, if, even when the process is described in great detail in an info pdf, available as info on the website (with screenshot instructions) and mentioned in the .ai file itself, they aren't even deleting the guide layer, then turning off 'Preserve illustrator editing capabilities' is kind of a stretch. Like I said, the folks these templates are to be designed for are not illustrator literate for the most part.
    2. Not sure if this would work. I'd have to look into it.
    3. Beyond my capabilities. I'll let you know if number 2 works.
    One possible solution I've come up with uses the idea of a template layer always on top, with 'DELETE THIS LAYER' and screenshot of layers pallette and clear little red arrows etc. If I can the template layer to always remain on top, with their artwork layer underneath, they would have to toggle hide/unhide to view their artwork, and the reminder to remove the guide layer would be pretty much in their face. That's not a guarantee either though.
    Personally, I think what I've been asked to achieve is a pretty hard task and honestly, I'm thinking there are no failsafe options.
