BFD nickel works fine under Cubase SX3. It's super stable.
In general my projects contain 6 VSTi (Halion, NI Elektric Piano, B4 Arturia Moog Synth and various), 2-3 Guitar Rig 3, 4 SIR 2, 10 and SSL Waves Api, 10 URS..etc plugs and everything stays fluid.
NOTICE GLOBAL
I use BFD since 2005 with the add-on XFL
The +: wide range of sounds of an acoustic drum. But to fully integrate into the mix it is of course well mixed each track BFD (EQ, compressor and reverb) if BFD sounds outside the mix and quite often this is a little battery box.
Basically not believe in Santa Claus, it does not start and hop BFD was sound super realistic battery. We must work velocities and mix each track BFD, so it takes time, patience and some knowledge of drumming.
The -: to take back what I said in the previous lines that would be great as BFD sounds live, but should not delude ourselves, the process is basically the same as with an instrument you buy, indeed it is not because you will buy a guitar to 2000 euros you will play as a god. You have to work the instrument and it's the same in computer music is because you have sound banks 500 gigas that this is not going to ask you to work sounds and mix.
Value for money: Reasonable
With experience, I do it again 1000 times this choice because if you do not have the ability to record a good drummer on a good battery in a good studio bah you spending time on programming and on the Mix BFD obtain a consistent battery and heartfelt.
In summary like any VSTi instrument that offers a wide sound bank, you still have to put in mind that it will work sounds anyway because if it sounds cheap.
