It seems like they've made it so that one can buy whichever kit they want without having to buy the basic package to start, which is nice, I guess, but in the long run it will cost a lot more to accumulate a lot of gear. Hi folks If you are thinking of getting the awesome Addictive Drums 2 or already have it, take a look at my guide for using it effectively in Cakewalk 1. The strange thing is on XLN website it says nothing about the inclusion of the AD2 engine when buying the Fairfax or any other pak.I think that if you just bought one of the new kits it would be the only one that's AD2 and you're current stuff would not be upgraded. I think the default V2 kits are excellent and much better than most the packs that came before it that I've heard. EZdrummer kits sound a bit more natural, somewhat more crisp.

The drum libraries are getting bigger and bigger nowadays and I wonder if this still catch up the competition with no noticeable additions to their catalog in recent years. Addictive Drums has a certain sound that takes work to get from other drum programs. Forcing a DAW to be online is the stupidest thing I ever heard.

Question, has any AD1 owner bought an Audiodeluxe type deal? If so when installing AD2 as part of the Fairfax kit will it upgrade your existing AD1 paks and midi paks etc. I am curious about this because I purchased the plugin some years ago with 3 kits. 'Important note about the Addictive Drums 2 engine: The Addictive Drums 2 engine is included with every Addictive Drums 2 ADpak and Bundle.' HELP Hello I recently downloaded and installed Sonar Platinum, which is up and running, however, I cannot find Addictive Drums 2 on Sonar Platinum, but it is on my computer.I can look in my directory (Win 8.1 ењ†4) and find AD2 and open it and it seems fully functional. If the Focusrite 2i2 can do double-duty for both VST and regular module recording I might pick one up.The Upgrade is a little confusing, on the website I can upgrade for в‚¬79, this also updates all my existing XLN AD and midi paks.Д«ut on Audiodeluxe I can buy the Fairfax kit for $79, and it also says Getting Addictive Drums 2 on to Sonar Platinum. Right now I use a MOTU Fastlane MIDI to USB controller for my TD-12 to my laptop with AD2 VST and then if I want to record the actual module sounds I use a 1/4 to 1/8' adapter cable to the laptop's Line In jack.

Forgive me with the ultra-newbie question here - but in order to use VST I thought you have to use a MIDI-to-USB cable from module to computer in order to pass the MIDI notes/values to the VST, so it knows what to trigger? The Focusrite doesn't have MIDI connections on it, so is the USB part of it doing the translation to the computer? In Windows navigate to the following folder: Cakewalk: C: Users your user name AppData Roaming Cakewalk Cakewalk Core Drum Maps. When I was using a mixer connected via the laptop's headphone OUT, I noticed latency, but not with the Focusrite via USB.
