They both sound interchangeably as good when mixed, so really it may be a question of how much stuff do you want collecting virtual dust? I know that all the options of SD3 might be enticing, but like all instruments you will wind up with a small amount of "go to's" and the rest will just occupy drive space. In regards to the significant price and storage size differences of both products my vote would also be for BFD3. SD3 is pretty raw too when you take everything off, but it makes me feel like what I am hearing has been just a tad pre-processed/leveled, etc. The sound of the kit samples with all fx off, is the most raw sounding. However given what you have said in regards to raw sounds, my vote would be for BFD3. Whether you use a top-tier acoustic drum sampler, or record yourself hitting objects around your home, they can all be shaped to achieve a similar thing in the end. They are after all just percussive noises, intended to thump, thwack, doong or whoosh and then get out of the way of rest of the track. Hell you could even go against all conventional wisdom for the style of music you play and stick static electronic drum samples of a tonality that isn't normally associated with your genre and as long as the mix slaps, people will not care, not one iota. Now as for which one you wind up using won't really make two s***s of a difference to the end listener. AD2 is more aimed as having a ready-to-go premixed sound to insert directly into a mix, sort of like you outsourced to a session drummer and engineer for the drum parts. SD3 and BFD3 obviously have presets but also are aimed at giving the user the ability to take the raw sounds and craft their own sound from scratch. Personally I think the drum options you listed are for different purposes. SD3 has some goid sounds but the interface is similar to aspects in AD2 which I don’t like, but learn to live/work with.įinally, my question! I’m interested in hearing opinions regarding these drum synths to help me decide on a direction to choose. I prefer the BFD3 interface, but the company’s situation makes me hesitate in the extreme.
I also have SSD5Free and MTPower Drums (and Session Drummer 3) but none have what I’m looking for. If I had credit I would buy better, but that is sadly no longer an option. So while I’m glad to have something, too many years stuck with this. They never allow us to hear the actual samples, only samples with lots of processing. I bought another snare yesterday only to discover my dislike for it too. I’ve managed to cobble something together that isn't too bad but I’m so tired of living with less than satisfying sounds. Over time I have bought extra drum packs/kits and individual pieces.
As I haven’t managed the $400 tag on Superior Drums or BFD, I continue to struggle with AD2 which for me was bundled with Sonar.
