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.
Engineered and mixed by one of the biggest names in Metal, Ross Robinson. You know him from his works in the early Nu-Metal scene, helping to craft the sound that defined a generation with his blend of natural, raw aggression and modern techniques to bring the musicality to the forefront.
Tailored for the extremes, the Metal ADpak delivers huge sounding, hard-hitting drums that are best suited when playing fast and aggressive metal. Specially selected Zildjian cymbals have been chosen to add the shimmer and brightness needed to cut through dense metal mixes, while the Ludwig Classic Maple kick and toms are renowned for their natural punch and overtones. Tuned to perfection, the 14.5" chrome over brass Gretsch snare drums adds a huge amount of impact and attack that will help to cut above the barrage of sounds in your metal mixes. Meticulously chosen "trigger" sounds are also included for the kick and snare drum to reinforce your sounds, giving you more edge and attack in your mix. This is a common technique used by the great mixing engineers, and is now put in your hands without the need for any external trigger modules or hardware!
Created by some of the best in the business, the Metal ADpak contains over 30 presets that cover a huge range of different metal styles. Roberto Laghi, Björn Gelotte and David E.K, Martin Preikschas have all leant their ability to these presets covering everything from heavy metal, speed metal, death metal and many others, all of which are individually tweakable and customisable through the Addictive Drums 2 engine to suit the needs of your music.
It's natural to think that progressive styles of music deal in a large amount of technicality, and you'd be right to think that. Taking each part of the composition to the next level, progressive musicians and bands will often dedicate an enormous amount of time honing their craft, therefore it's only logical to display that technical ability in utter transparency. Perfect for the modern musician looking to highlight your technical ability, the Studio Prog ADpak has been sampled in meticulous detail, The Studio Prog ADpak delivers a perfectly balanced sound and tone that lets your performance shine through, without stealing the spotlight.
Comprised of a DW Collectors Edition kit with an additional 14x5.5" DW Craviotto snare, the sounds in Studio Prog are jam-packed with character and personality. Tuned to perfection, every note of your kit will shine through to add an extra dimension to your performances where other kits simply can't! In combination with the boutique shells are a hand-picked selection of Paiste and Sabian cymbals, each chosen for their non-offensive sound that gels together to create a harmonised and balanced kit.
Power, speed and groove. This is metal drumming to the extreme! Over 300 performances have been played in by metal drumming royalty Daniel Erlandsson and includes everything from full songs, grooves and fills. Extreme metal drumming requires an extreme amount of dedication and perseverance to build up the stamina and power needed to let your drums explode and cut through and often can be very difficult to play convincingly unless you're amongst the worlds finest drummers. Thankfully, the Diabolic grooves give you a wide selection of full songs, shorter grooves, fills and more to drag and drop into your project to fit any style or tempo.
The Metal Songs MIDI groove pack is the best place to start composing your hard-hitting metal tracks.
