What's new in Addictive Drums
XLN Addictive Drums 2 has been elevated with the v2.5 update, delivering both workflow improvements and exciting new features. The software now boasts a sleek, revamped interface designed to keep you focused on your music with its polished, modern look. A standout new effect, Trig Gate, allows you to effortlessly sculpt your drum sound with precise gate action on every hit, no threshold adjustments needed, thanks to the use of internal MIDI drum notes. The new Boost mode for the compressor adds extra punch to your beats with multiband compression specially tuned for drums, giving your tracks more energy and impact. On top of that, the EQ now features real-time visual feedback across all frequencies, making it easier than ever to fine-tune your sound with clarity and precision. Best of all, this update is fully backwards compatible, so all your previous presets, tweaks, and settings will work seamlessly, and it supports every Addictive Drums 2 expansion, including ADpaks, MIDIpaks, and Kitpiece paks.
A venture through time
The Vintage Dry AD Pack brings you the classic sound of the '70s, with fat, dry and authentic tones that is perfect for a huge range of genres from classic rock, disco, funk and much more! The crisp and articulate tones are perfect for creating a solid backbeat to your productions, laying the bed for you to develop your song on top of.
The kit is comprised of a Ludwig Silver Sparkle from 1968 that has been modified and tuned to perfection for era-appropriate tones. Each drum has been individually dampened with pillows, newspaper or felt sheets to create the tight and dry sound that cuts through your mix. To ensure sonic authenticity, only microphones that were produced throughout the '60s - '70's such as Coles, Neumann and Sennheiser, were used to capture the performance of this immensely detailed pack, all running through vintage API consoles to provide the shaping and subtle saturation that only vintage mixing boards can provide.
Vintage dry contains two kick drums, two snares, four toms, five cymbals and handclaps to curate your preferred sound and setup that will complement and enhance your music. To get you started, there are 30 mix-ready presets included with this pack that provides you with a diverse range of sounds that cover many musical genres. Through the Addictive Drums 2 engine, all the presets and sounds are completely customisable and modifiable to your tastes through the onboard processing and mixer.
