You learn everything about BFD3 including Kit design, Effects, Performance techniques, Sampling, V-Drum mapping, Groove creation, mixing and so much more.

Great and nicely comprehensive tutorial for BFD3. The only thing I wish it had discussed in some detail, rather than merely alluding to it, was how to handle side-chaining both to and from the DAW. Add that for the fifth star. Otherwise fantastic.

This is a great explanation of all the features. However, I would like to see more about how to use this software in terms of creating a drum track with the presets and how they can be edited (within an actual drum track) and then exported. Having said that, this may be too much material for one tutorial, but like most people, I am more interested in how to use something in a real-world context than in understanding the technicalities of each feature.

This didn't feel like a "course", it felt more like peeping over someone's shoulder while they prepared and executed a mix. The information was presented in a very logical sequence; very important for a new user like me. Thank you!

Great Tutorial. Most helpful. I always found BFD much more difficult to deal with than Superiour. This goes into a lot of details. Thanks Matt!
