Route the BFD drum tracks to individual audio tracks on your host software or DAW. BFD is a multichannel instrument, meaning it sends individual sounds to discrete channels, or audio tracks. Routine multichannel instruments is a process unique to every DAW, so consult the operation manual included with your DAW. At the very least, route the kick drum and snare drums to a unique channel; all the toms to one channel and all the overheads, or cymbals, to another channel.
Apply compression and EQ, or equalization, to the kick drum by adding compression and EQ plug-ins to the kick drum channel. Set your compressor for a quick attack and slow decay with a ratio of up to 4:1. Use your EQ to cut frequencies below 30hz, boost around 80hz and boost frequencies around 8,000hz.
Apply compression and EQ, or equalization, to the snare drum by adding compression and EQ plug-ins to the snare drum channel. Set your compressor for a quick attack and slow decay with a ratio of up to 2:1. Use your EQ to cut frequencies below 150hz, boost slightly around 150hz and boost frequencies around 10,000hz.
Apply EQ to the toms by adding an EQ plug-in to the tom channel. Cut frequencies below 200hz and at 9000hz. Boost EQ frequencies around 3,000hz.
Apply EQ to the overheads by adding an EQ plug-in to the overheads channel. Cut frequencies below 500hz. Boost EQ frequencies around 15,000hz.
