The last AD2 update was far beyond my expectations. I only hope they come out with AD3 soon. I actually started using AD2 a lot more after the last update (otherwise, I’m a big SD3 user).

Thanks for the heads up @fretman

Same here @peter

AD2 was the first drum package I used in anger and I still have it in many projects. Great to see some updates appearing.

Wait, anger works in a lot of genres. Punk, metal, hard rock, rock, rap… Although it’s a lot less effective if you were working on a ballad or soft rock.

Anger does work great in ballads if mixed with a healthy quantity of tears and / or whining.

From my imaginary hit “You got the power”

I’ll totally forgive you 🎶
for breaking my heart
If you’ll take me back and give
  our relationship a new start 🎵

So don’t be a bitch
  and return my calls 🎶
I concede you got the power
  so please stop breaking my …..

ohhh…
queue sad guitar solo 🎵 🎶

Same. I had an AD2 license from a bundle and was never much inspired to use it, but that changed big time when 2.5 came out and was a free upgrade.

Elevated my opinion of XLN a great deal, and got me using a really great virtual instrument that had dropped off my radar.

I don’t like to admit that I can be so influenced by a plug-in’s visuals, but these are musical instruments, and the same rules apply to physical ones. If it looks good, it inspires me to use it.

I’m so happy they’ve been working on this! Addictive Drums still sound great to me! Plus I’m pretty invested in the ecosystem.

I’m thinking of getting those Boutique Mallets.

Same here. I think it was more than a decade ago that Greg (Orange Tree Samples) told me how much he liked it than gave me a bunch of presets he made for it. Greg shared a bunch of his AD2 presets — for free — at his Preset Galaxy site. I’d strongly recommend them for anyone who owns AD2. For me, it was like getting new kits. I do make my own presets, but I don’t know how to craft them anything close to what Greg can do. You can find them here:
