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.
Providing the rich, harmonic sounds that only a hand-made custom drum kit can deliver, the United Heavy ADpak is comprised of a hand-made Pork Pie USA kit and specially selected Zildjian cymbals. Full-bodied, deep and articulate, the perfect combination for your drums to cut through a wall of heavy guitar sounds and explode with character. Using larger size shells in the Custom USA Pork Pie drum kit allows a deep resonance to add weight and movement to the drum tone that is perfect for heavy, driving rock mixes. Combined with the custom shells is the unique and rare Zildjian Alloy snare drum which provides a rich and full-bodied sound with a smooth top end that provides the snap and attack. Also included is the 14x6.5" Pork Pie Bell Brass snare, a staple in rock and metal drums known for its snappy attack and character. Matched perfectly with this kit is a selection of hand-picked Zildjian cymbals, chosen for their bright sound with a smooth top end.
The United Heavy ADpak puts the sound, reflections and character of one of the most sought-after drum rooms in the world at your fingertips. Recorded at United Recording Studio B (formerly Ocean Way studios), you can include the power and explosiveness of this studio in your mixes! Home to some of the most diverse and world-famous artists, Ocean Way Studios is more than likely heard on some of your current favourite record collections and continues to grow under the new United Recording umbrella. Recorded using the finest microphones and outboard equipment available, the Custom USA Pork Pie drumkit has been recorded in immaculately high-fidelity, capturing all the body, detail and weight needed to make your drums cut above a heavy wall of guitars and driving vocals.
Whenever you need your drums to sound larger than life, reach for the Black Velvet ADpak. Uniquely recorded to provide the highest amount of flexibility, the drum shells have been captured in a gigantic gym-sized recording hall, while all of the cymbals have been captured in a tighter, more intimate and small studio. This combination blends seamlessly together, allowing you to expand the size of your kit from an in-your-face verse that packs a tight and articulate punch, a larger than life chorus with a huge shell decay that adds ambience and excitement to your music.
Think of the huge radio-friendly rock singles from the '90s and '00s and amplify them by 11. The Black Velvet is the product of using some of the most boutique and sought after equipment on the planet, sampled in meticulous detail to provide the ultimate rock drum sound imaginable. A custom, hand-made DW Collectors series drum kit is matched with beautiful and vibrant Zildjian cymbals to glue together a cohesive and expansive sound that is perfect for any driving and energetic genres of music whether it's the explosive sound of Grunge, aggressive and barking sound of punk or anthemic stadium rock, the Black Velvet ADpak is here to deliver.
Drums that need impact need a solid groove and feel to get the sound right for hard and heavy styles. Breathe new life into your heavy music and break away from generic grooves and explore any of the 200+ organic and thunderous MIDI performances. Performed by top session musicians, whether you play hard and fast or slow and steady, the Heavy Beats and Songs deliver the impact and feel you need to add the punch and excitement in your compositions.
Perfect for heavy and hard-hitting tunes, the Loud Beats and Songs MIDI pack contains over 190 explosive grooves, fills and beats for your songs. Covering everything from Grunge of the '90s to modern stadium Rock, these MIDI performances will let you concentrate on your composition and arrangement and focus on what matters instead of spending your time programming grooves.
