I agree on the processing - I too prefer to control that from the DAW, and also concur on kits like AD2 that sound great played by themselves, but often have to be tweaked a lot, to get them to sit in the mix. Regarding roomy the worst for me is the kick, because until today I have never managed to get the more natural sound that I want (that is very easy to achieve within NI drum kits). And if you want to choose your own room and reduce the room/overhead on some instruments, then the sound is quite weak (snare, toms).

This makes it very difficult to mix when you want to increase or decrease the snare, because you also affect other components and the sound of the snare. the snare goes mainly thru the overheads and room mics. to their snare track only, then it is very quiet, i.e. The 2nd thing that I dislike in AD2 is that many of their drum instruments are too roomy. But as soon as you add several other tracks (bass, guitars, synths.

Yes, they sound cool when you run the drums on its own. But as one said before, there is a lot of processing in their presets and I prefer to do the processing in the DAW (CbB) by myself! I don't like those over-defined presets, because they often conflict with the rest of the mix. I agree that XLN is a prime example for that, but I had such problems with other plugin providers, too! But I cannot remember which ones! 😄ĪD2: I like it and use it, too. Just the XLN Installer that you run on demand.īut you will need to sign in to your XLN Audio account on the web to adjust your computer activations. Usually a quick fix, Nothing running in the background like some other protection schemes.

The issue with XLN is that if your Windows machine ID changes, then it looks like you are using a different computer that has not been activated with XLN yet.

I suppose I will have to download a kit to find out. If XLN requires re-authorization once in a while, to me that seems far less intrusive.

I opted out of that 'feature.' but the software still tried and failed. In fact, one software package tried to sync to the corporate servers frequently (i.e., while using the software). However, please correct me if I am wrong, it seemed like Pace/iLok and/or the software that uses that protection scheme needs to log in every time the software is boot. Maybe someone know, does that need to be done just with Windows upgrades? I have had issues with Pace iLok and uninstalled it along with software that uses it. I have AD2 on account (waiting to get some kits, etc.) so I haven't faced the re-authorization issue. Maybe they should use Pace iLok instead? I have had no issues with that!

This changes with every Windows 10 version upgrade, i.e.

I can't compose if my drum sounds are 95% absent.Īre you familiar with this issue? Or are some of these keys missing because it's a demo?Īpparently the XLN license activation is tied to the machine ID. This is quite troublesome, because I compose entirely in the Piano Roll. Also, on the AD2 browser screen, some of the visual drum kit's pieces are greyed out. Some presets play more notes on the PRV, and some play only a few. I can sample every preset in the AD2 browser screen, but on my DAW Piano Roll, I'm only able to play some drum pieces (usually kick drum, sometimes the snare and a few cymbals). However, it seems as though some of my key mapping is missing. I'm currently trying out the AD2 Demo, and I'm quite pleased so far. Thank you for your input on this, Chappel. Most of the presets have a bit TOO much processing in them for my taste so when I use it I tend to strip it down and use Cakewalk for processing. They all sound different and all are useful for getting different kinds of sounds. I have several different ADpacks that I got for free, or cheap, when offered by Cakewalk/XLN as promo packages. AD2 includes the ability to do a lot of editing and processing to the instruments, so that's where the presets are coming from.
