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.
Chosen for its distinctive character, the Ludwig Vistalite drums deliver a tone unlike any conventional wooden drum shell, with an extra fast transient attack that adds punch and power to each hit as well as a clear sustain with natural decay and timbre, not forgetting the striking looks. Used by legendary drummers of the '70s, you can generate the power and precision of this one of a kind kit in your productions to take your music to the next level.
In order to capture the sound and essence of vintage rock classics, making sure the drum kit is selected correctly is essential. With this in mind, a vintage '60s Ludwig Blue Oyster kit was selected with the correct size of shells to emulate the sound of your favourite classic rock records, including the famous "levee" sound! Large sizes, coated drum skins and accurate pitches deliver the thunderous drum sound that fills your sonic space with character and flair. Captured in a world-class studio using top of the range microphones and equipment, the vintage drum kit has never sounded this good! Extremely high-fidelity with a huge in-depth sampling method means all the nuance and detail can be translated to your mixes, giving them new life and realism.
The Blue Oyster ADpak features a '60s Ludwig Blue Oyster drum kit, giving your tones a well rounded and natural sound with booming resonance. Packing a huge punch, the Blue Oyster boasts a balanced frequency response, tailored perfectly to all things vintage and modern rock! Two kick drum sizes have been included to give you the choice to mix and match depending on your mix and style, with one of them producing a tighter and mid-range focused sound and the other producing more lows and a more rolled off high-end. A collection of Sabian, Paiste and Zildjian cymbals have been selected for their silky smooth top-end that doesn't suffer from over-brightness, blending perfectly with the vintage Ludwig shells.
