Please note that the BFD data directory needs to be on a fast disk with around 9
GB of free space which, ideally, you will not be using to stream other audio data.
If you are using Digidesign ProTools, Sonic Foundry Acid, or MOTU Digital
Performer 4, and want multiple outputs from BFD you will need to install the
ReWire version. See “ReWire installation” below for help on setting your ReWire
options.
Windows installation
Insert the first DVD and run the BFD Windows Setup program.
Follow the prompts to choose your main BFD data directory, VST plugin directory
and directories for the other plugin formats. Follow the on-screen instructions for
the rest of the installation.
MacOS installation
Insert the first DVD and run the BFD MacOSX SETUP.mpkg program. This will
install the plugin files, and must be installed to your OS drive.
Then, run the BFD MacOSX Setup Data.mpkg in order to install the data from
DVD1. The data can be installed to any hard drive in your system.
After this, insert DVD2 and run the BFD MacOSX Setup DVD2.mkpg program in
order to install the data from DVD2. Follow the on-screen instructions for the rest
of the installation.
ReWire installation
If you choose to install the BFD ReWire version during the installation process
you will be prompted to set your ReWire options. The main reason to use ReWire
is to support BFD’s multiple outputs so you will probably want to choose ‘All out-
puts’ or ‘Group outputs’. ReWire functionality is disabled by default, so enable this
with the checkbox.
