Do I need to buy BFD2 or the BFD2 upgrade if I already have BFD ECO?

Fxpansion's website says-

To upgrade from BFD Eco to BFD2, simply purchase the BFD2 Upgrade product.

Note that BFD Eco and BFD2 must be registered within the same user account for the upgrade to be valid.

BFD2 has a lor more features than Eco... so it really depends on what you need...

BFD2 is 24 bit vs Eco which is 16 bit
BFD2 supports velocity layers up to 256, Eco is limited to 24 velocity layers
BFD2 includes a Groove Editor
BFD2 has a vastly larger Mixer
BFD2 lets you use additional Ambience channels, Eco is limited to 1 stereo Ambience channel

There are a lot more features in BFD2 in addition to these... but these are off the top of my head.

Cheers,

Rail

Keep in mind that for many BFD2 is almost impossible to authorize. They take forever to get back to you if you have an issue. Although if you can keep it running... It does sound very good.

If that were the case of their tens of thousands of users you'd see a lot of issues on their forum... In general what I've seen if you create a support ticket it's addressed ASAP. FXpansion are also very liberal in helping out their users with additional authorizations when required.

Hi,

BFD 2 full purchase is on sale for March and is only £99 which is half price!

Anyone else thinking that the sale is happening because BFD3 will be coming out? They've never offered this good of a sale on BFD2 before, as far as I know.

right now it's cheaper to buy the full version than upgrade, I know this because I asked them and they said they had a sale went to their site saw the price for upgrade and left in a hurry then got the sale price for the full version.

Actually that's incorrect.

Audiomidi.com has the upgrade on special right now for $99.

If you have BFD ECO you can buy the BFD2 upgrade which is on offer at the moment. Your BDFD ECO needs to be registered in order to activate BFD2.:-)
