What's new in AD2

1. More legendary drums. New sound engine.

Our team has traveled around the world and found some truly amazing drums in world-famous studios such as our brand new Fairfax kit. This kit was recorded at the legendary Fairfax Recording studio in Los Angeles (formerly known as Sound City).

Fairfax and all of our existing ADpaks (from Addictive Drums) have been updated to make full use of all the new features of the Addictive Drums 2 engine.

 

2. New sound shaping and kit building features.

Ask and you shall receive, customers! We've listened to your feedback and made dozens of improvements, both small and large! Highlights include:

More kitpiece slots, new studio-grade effects (including delay and saturation/distortion), brand new Tone Designer and Transient Shaper modules, easy kitpiece linking, and lots of new electronic sounds that can take your drums to exciting new territories.

 

3. New rhythm creation and transformation tools.

Say goodbye to boring beats. Our new Beats page helps you locate or build interesting beats quickly and to transform existing beats to make them uniquely yours. The intuitive system is designed to be simple for beginners but very deep for power users.

You can even drag-and-drop drum hits and complete loops straight to your music software's timeline for maximum ease of use.

 



THE ADDICTIVE DRUMS 2 ENGINE


With its fast, clean, and musician-centric interface, you might not realize you're using one of the most advanced software instruments in the world. The original Addictive Drums instrument was launched in 2006 and has undergone near continuous refinement with a single goal in mind: To help you get the ultimate drum sounds in your music. 

Addictive Drums 2 is a giant leap forward in our mission to help you make your best work yet. 

BUILD YOUR PERFECT KIT


Don't like your snare drum or crash cymbal? Swap them out in seconds with any other kit piece in your drum collection! Want to turn down the ride, turn up the cowbell and maybe beef up your kick drum by linking it to an electronic sub-kick? Not a problem. The Kit page makes all this easy.

This page is where you can make changes to your drum kit. Easily modify any of our professionally designed presets or build your own presets from scratch. Our simple interface presents information in ways that musicians understand while eliminating unnecessary complexity.

TWEAK YOUR SOUNDS TO PERFECTION


Are you a recording engineer at heart? Do you love diving down to the individual microphone and instrument levels and tweaking everything to perfection? We think you're going to be very happy when you see all the amazing features on the Edit Page of Addictive Drums 2!

This page contains in-depth controls to let you tweak specific parts of your kit (like the Kick, Snare, or other parts). Here, you'll find things like multi-band EQs, compression, distortion, tape simulation, our brand new Tone Designer and Transient Shaper modules, and much more.

FIND THE PERFECT BEAT


Addictive Drums 2 is more than just great sounding drums in your music. It's also a collection of outstanding rhythms and grooves played by professional drummers. Even if you are an experienced drum programmer, you're sure to find inspiration here. The only thing better than these beats would be hiring a professional drummer, booking a studio, and spending hours recording.

On this page, you can browse through all of the rhythms to find your inspiration. If you have a specific beat in mind, it's very easy to search your collection using the Grid Search tool. And if you'd like to modify an existing beat to make it uniquely yours, the powerful Beat Transform system makes it easy. And once you find a beat you love, simply drag-and-drop it to your host's timeline. Easy!

ADD GREAT DRUM EFFECTS


The FX page contains two Delerb effects. This outstanding effects processors combines delay and reverb effects in one place and lets you push the sonic envelope. With two of them at your disposal, you'll have no shortage of options when designing exciting sounds.

 

FIND NEW WAYS TO USE YOUR KITS


ExploreMaps let you step through all of the ADpaks and audition and select any of the professionally designed presets. Each preset includes a beat that was specifically designed to show off that preset in the best light. You can also audition ADpaks you don't own yet to get a taste of what they have to offer!
