INSTALLATION AND GETTING STARTED<br />
System Requirements<br />
BFD requires a substantial amount of computing power. Here is the minimum recommended<br />
specification:<br />
• 1 GHz Pentium III or Athlon (for Windows platform)<br />
• Apple PowerMac G4 733 MHz (for MacOSX platform)<br />
• 512 MB of RAM (preferably 768 MB or more)<br />
• DVD drive (for installation)<br />
• Windows 2000 or XP, or MacOSX<br />
• 9 GB of free hard disk space<br />
• 800x600 resolution with 16-bit colour graphics (1024x768 or higher recommended)<br />
On the Mac, it will not work on OS9 or earlier versions.<br />
BFD works by streaming all its samples from the hard disk, so in order to prevent<br />
glitches during playback, please follow these guidelines.<br />
• Try to install the BFD audio data on a clean, defragmented hard disk.<br />
• If possible, install BFD on a dedicated drive, separate from those used<br />
for the computer’s operating system and any audio data used with the<br />
sequencer.<br />
• If you use a notebook or laptop, try and use an external FireWire drive for<br />
the audio data. Laptop drives (often as slow as 4200 RPM) can be quite<br />
slow for BFD’s disk-streaming technology.<br />
Installation<br />
BFD comes on two DVD’s. The first DVD contains the stand alone program,<br />
plugins, and several drum kits. The second DVD contains only drum kits. Before<br />
installing, always check to see if there is a newer version available on our<br />
website. Please see the following webpage for full details on obtaining updates, or<br />
if you are encountering problems during installation:<br />
