For instance, you could just buy the Metal drum-kit/ADpak, as it already includes the AD2 engine. The parts of the bundles are available separately, and each ADpak includes the Addictive Drums 2 engine. Finally, there are the KitPiece paks, which are separate drums you can add on to the ADpaks. They also add in some MIDIpaks, each of which has lots of MIDI groove patterns ready to load. There won’t be an excess of extra drums/cymbals you didn’t really want in the first place, and so the end value is higher.Įach Bundle has a certain number of drum kits, which are called ADpaks. To me, I really think this is a good idea. This way, you get what you want, and everyone is happy. There are different Bundle packs available on their website, and you basically get a choice of what will be included. The supported formats are VST, AAX, and AU in both 32 and 64-bit.

You just create an account on their site, use the XLN Online Installer program to connect to their website, and then download and install any products you’ve purchased after entering the key.Īddictive Drums 2 is available as a standalone instrument, and as a plugin version to load in to your DAW. Installation was easy, and the copy protection is by way of a product key. As you can probably guess, a product like this is right up my alley, and so I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when I was installing it. I played the drums for over twelve years before going into the electronic production of music.

When I heard XLN Audio was going to release Addictive Drums 2, I jumped at the chance to give it a full review this time around. There so much to cover when reviewing a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) that the bundled instruments get little coverage. X3 includes the original Addictive Drums, but I couldn’t go into much detail on it, the reason being that the review was really more about SONAR itself, and not the drums included with it. In a past issue of SoundBytes, I wrote a review on SONAR X3 Producer. The company is co-owned by mega-songwriter and producer Max Martin, and they are the makers of the successful products Addictive Keys and Addictive Drums. XLN Audio is based in Sweden, and they have been making music software since 2005.
Our reviewer thinks that XLN Audio has done a terrific job of improving on the original and explains why in this in-depth review. Additive Drums 2 is the successor to Additive Drums.
