Reena22, Yes I do use Reason, FL Studio Rewire with Live, that's my favorite way to get lot along. See, I do not have the library for Battery except for "Synthetic Drums" sound sample, so I have not been able to use it too much. Maybe you can help me with that if you can get me those samples. My email is Brenda_Budi@hotmail.com. Write to me and we can go from there. I'm very comfortable with ReDrum and do you work with routing the CV,Gate in Redrum with Subtractor to getting better kicks? I personally think there's nothing you cannot do in ReDrum compared to Battery. Of course the original samples that come with ReDrum is nothing good like Battery's quality. But Route them to getting better kick. Yes trigger Finger (TF) is cool and well built.It has its own flaws. I can program only 16 presets to use right now. To be able to use more, the Enigma software is the biggest confusing and complicated piece of software ever created. I have not been able to figure it out and there's nothing but complaint by the peoples. I think they'll update it soon. So far the 16 presets are fine with me and it's waesome with Battery, easy and feels great. But I have very few samples. I was a never IBM fan, nor I'm into Dedidesign of their proprietory software and hardware. Merger between the 2 companies, doesn't mean all the M-Audio hardware will work. Only few of them with ProTool work and TF is one of them. Yes, Dedidesign M-Audio pro tools has the lock and works with M-Audio new products only.
