Hi,

If we assume Jamstix was our drum track of choice but we wanted to use the great sounds in BFD or DFH....

What would be the cheapest way to do it?

In other words, we may not want to use the actual programs....

Does that make sense?

Not sure what you're asking.

How to acquire the dlls?

Or how to map to them from jamstix?

I´m not sure if I understand you correctly.

If you´re absolutely sure that your tracks will benefit from sounds from BFD or DFHS then there´s no other way than buying it.
You know you can host BFD as well as DFHS within Jamstix quite easily.

I´ve seen BFD and DFHS on Ebay for quite reasonable and affordable prices (no cracks of course, only serious license transfer).

Keep your eyes peeled for unrestricted demos of BFD on cover DVDs of Computer Music magazine.

That's how I got BFD. A couple of limitiations to that demo version:

1. Stereo out only - no multi-outs. This is problematic for those folks who want to process individual drums differently. I'm not that smart yet, so it's not an issue for me.

2. The open hat sound does not seem to respond to velocity. It's always way too loud.

With that said, the native drums in Jamstix are killer. Really, I don't think that BFD (the 2 demo kits that is) have anything over the Jamstix kits. The Jamstix kits are very well recorded. I haven't even used my BFD demo since buying Jamstix.

I agree with Scott/rockstar_not. The Jamstix add-ons sound great. Buy every add-on for $49. Put the extra cash you would spend on BFD or DFH back in your pocket.

For those so inclined, BFD's street price was just reduced to $200. Perhaps they are attempting to subsidize the recommended purchase of a dedicated, high quality HD which they mention you should get along with the program and dedicate to BFD (extra RAM doesn't hurt either - I know a guy who bought a 500GB Glyph drive and upped RAM from 2GB to 8GB and is now very happy - He spent well over $1,000 to do this and is a mediocre musician at best. That's alot of dough just to get better drums on bad demos that nobody but him will ever hear!).

BFD does sound really good to my ears, but man can that stuff get expensive, particularly with expansion packs at $300 a pop Laughing

Think I'll stick with the stock JS kits for awhile.
