Andy Johns Classic Drums Manual

Andy Johns Classic Drums
Welcome and thank you for purchasing Andy Johns Classic Drums! We hope you
enjoy working with it as much as we do. Please read through this manual carefully.
The installation process and the Hit types used in this expansion pack differ from
previous products in the FXpansion BFD range. Reading through this manual will
ensure that you get the most out of the sounds.
The data on the Classic Drums DVDs is compressed (using a zero-loss
algorithm), to facilitate the delivery of the highest possible level of detail.
The latest version of BFD v1.5 is required in order to use Classic Drums.
Please make sure it is properly installed before you proceed.
Installation
Each DVD contains an installer specific to the contents
of that DVD. Please follow these steps for each DVD !
Special note for Mac users: during the installation routine, you may be asked for
your Admin password. You must have Admin rights in order to install this software.
1. Insert the DVD and run the Classic Drums installer.
Windows:
If the installer does not auto-run, explore the DVD contents in
My Computer and double-click Classic Drums Win Setup.exe
to run it.
Mac:
Open the DVD contents and double-click Classic Drums Mac
Setup.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions until the Installation Path stage appears.
3. Select your BFD folder: this is the

folder which contains the Data
folder in which the sample data
resides. Make sure you select the
BFD folder, and not BFD/Data
or any other folder. If you do not
select the correct folder, the new
sounds will not be available within
BFD. Click Next when youre
ready to proceed.
4. You now need to specify the
Installation Size: you can specify
the detail level and which KitPieces to install.
Firstly, select a detail level.
Classic Drums can be installed
with one of four detail levels,
determining the maximum
amount of velocity layers (and
consequently affecting the hard
disk space usage) that are
installed for each Kit-Piece on
the DVD.
Higher detail levels have a higher impact on system resources.
Small:
Medium:
Large:
SuperSize:
a maximum of 20 velocity layers will be installed

NOTE: Installing SuperSize will require more disk space - To use the extra velocity layers
please read New expressive possibilities on page 6 of this manual
Next, deselect the Kit-Pieces which

you do not want to install by clearing
the check-boxes. All Kit-Pieces on the
DVD will be installed with the same
detail level during the installer routine. The info display on the right shows
information about each Kit-Piece and the Hit types it contains. Use the
scroll-bar to scroll through the list.
The installer program calculates disk space requirements dynamically, so
please be patient when selecting and deselecting Kit-Pieces.
Click Next when youre ready to continue.
HINT: If you would like to install different Kit-Pieces from the same DVD with
different detail levels (for example, using a higher detail level on snares
can be useful), simply re-run the DVDs installer as many times as
necessary, de-selecting the appropriate Kit-Pieces each time.
5. Enter your Classic Drums serial number (located on the inside front cover of
the case containing the DVDs). You will only need to enter your serial for the
first DVD you install. Click Next to commence installation.
Installation of each DVD can take quite a while, as a large amount of data
needs to be de-compressed and installed.
To register your copy of Classic Drums, or if you experience any problems
during the installation, please consult our support page:
www.platinumsamples.com/support
You MUST be registered to receive support. Registering also means we have
a record of your serial if you lose it. Lost serials will NOT be replaced!
Registering also allows you access to the download area, containing free
bonus content such as additional Kit-Pieces.

Recording notes
Recorded in one of LAs greatest rock drum rooms using a classic Neve 80 series
console and through the electronics of a Studer 800 24 track tape machine,
the Classic Drums expansion pack truly demonstrates why Andy has achieved
legendary status. Using no compression and only the console preamps and EQs,
and with each drum meticulously tuned by Andy himself -- the drums recorded in
the Classic Drums expansion pack exhibit why the albums Andy has engineered
and produced have sold over 150 million copies. To ensure that the drums would
fit into a mix, and not to record the drums in a void, the drum sounds were
checked with a rhythm section (drums, bass and guitar).
During the recording process some microphones were changed, others moved,
and only two Royer ribbon mics were killed...

Using the new sounds in BFD

Kits and Kit-Pieces
All Kit-Pieces on all DVDs must be installed in order to use the ready-made
Kits. If youre only installing a selection of Kit-Pieces, you need to compile
your own Kits from the installed Kit-Pieces, something which takes a matter of
seconds in BFD.
A note about the new Hit type articulations
Certain Kit-Pieces feature only some of the possible Hit type articulations, or
feature new types of articulations substituted for the conventional BFD Hit
types. With such a large library, the usefulness of the sound had to be balanced
against the extra resources required. Please consult the Kit-Piece listing in
this manual, or the info text displays in the BFD Kit-Piece Selector panels, for
details of each Kit-Pieces Hit types and substitutions.
New expressive possibilities
Classic Drums features detail levels much higher than the original BFD library.
With a SuperSize installation, there are over 200 velocity layers for some hits.
To access the higher velocity layers change the Max layers setting in the BFD
Options.
WARNING!! Using velocity layers above 128 may severely overtax your
system especially if youre running any other soft synths with BFD.
Hyper-detailed hihats and cymbals
The hihats in Classic Drums feature extra -open and -open position Hit
types, in addition to the usual closed, -open and open positions found in the
original BFD library. Ride cymbals include bell Hits. The hihats and cymbals
are captured with more velocity layers than those on the original BFD library.

Increased RAM overhead
The increased levels of detail in the new sounds cause a significantly higher
RAM overhead compared to the content in the original BFD library. When using
smaller amounts of RAM (768MB to 1GB), you should install Classic Drums
with Small or Medium detail levels (see Installation guide for details), or consult
the Performance Tips section in the BFD FAQ for other ways to optimize BFD
for lower memory usage: www.fxpansion.com/product-bfd-userFAQ.php
Using the Andy Johns Classic Drums
The Platinum Samples Expansion Packs are Engineered Drums for BFD -meaning the drums were recorded like they would be on a recording session.
They were meticulously tuned and EQd and we even had a Bass and Guitar
player at the session to ensure the drums would fit into a rhythm section. The
result is an expansion pack which sounds great as soon as you load a kit.
We suggest you either load one of the AFJ programs or the AFJ Basic mixer
then load the kits. This will give you a basic balance for the drum kits.
Tom Kits
The Classic Drums expansion pack includes the Tom Kits recorded with the
snares off as alternatives to the Tom Kits with the snares on. Andy prefers
to use a wide strainer on the snare which does cause more snare noise on the
toms when the snares are turned on. By having the Tom Kits available with the
snares off you have the option of which Tom Set to use.
The Room
The Classic Drums expansion pack was recorded in one of LAs greatest drum
rooms. The dimensions of the room are 40 x 50 feet with a 25 foot high ceiling.
Part of the rooms character is the delay time to the room mics. To preserve the
room sound the delay to the room mics was not adjusted. If the room channels
are pushed up very high, the slap in the room will be audible.

Bonus Grooves and Video
The Classic Drums expansion pack includes MIDI Grooves and Fills which will
be installed into BFD from DVD1. There is also a video featuring Andy Johns
on DVD 6 (Apple QuickTime is required).
