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.
Modern and punchy tones
An increasingly common factor in modern pop productions is to have pounding drums that drive the rhythm of the track forward. The Studio Pop ADpak delivers this sound exceptionally, with the use of a boutique Sonor Designer drum kit, tuned to perfection and captured in an immaculate recording room. Full of tone and character, the Studio Pop ADpak is perfect for the modern mixing engineer looking to add additional depth to their pop productions, straying away from using entirely electronic samples. The highly detailed samples have been captured in a huge range of velocities and hit variations to ensure maximum realism and dynamic in your tracks, breathing new life to static drum beats.
Mix-ready presets
Crafted by some of the best in the business, the Studio Pop ADpak comes included with a huge selection of production-ready presets to insert the knowledge and expertise of world-class producers in your songs! Not content with the selection of presets available? Customise your sounds and presets through the Addictive Drums 2 engine with EQ, compression, envelope shaping, volume faders and more to curate your sonic signature.
