Full bleed, what’s that all about then?
Full bleed means that the sound of each drum is heard in the mic channel of every other drum. This is true for all kit pieces in VRT with the exception of the cymbals, which receive no bleed but do bleed on to the other mic channels. Bleed can be reduced in the KPI panel by reducing the Return or Send controls. When mixing VRT with other BFD3 packs, please be aware that bleed will not be present.
Who is BFD Vintage Recording Techniques recorded by?
BFD Vintage Recording Techniques was recorded and produced in-house by FXpansion engineers Drew Vernon and Michael Bugh.
Do you allow license transfers?
Yes, however:
- If you're the seller, you must contact us in advance of the sale. If you're a prospective second-hand buyer, you must check that the seller is cleared to sell. If in doubt, contact us.
- Review copies, NFRs (Not For Resale copies, sometimes used for in-store demos), etc., cannot be transferred under any circumstances.
- We reserve the right to refuse a license transfer request.
Once a transfer is authorized and the fee has been paid, the new owner is entitled to exactly the same upgrade paths and technical support resources as if they had bought the product new.
