INTRODUCING BFD2
1:1 An introduction to BFD2
Welcome to BFD2
Thank you for purchasing BFD2!
Welcome to the most advanced acoustic drum production environment ever. As you begin to explore the software and manual
you’ll start to realise the sheer power you have at your fingertips.
About this manual
There is a huge amount of functionality in BFD2, so please take the time to study this manual as you delve into the software. We
realise it’s a rather large manual, but it is broken down into fairly easily digestible sections, logically structured for each part of the
software.
Remember to use the PDF bookmarks integrated into the document to make navigation through the manual quick and easy.
