Yeah, that's a drag but the impression I get is they are a smaller company and AD was their first release so I'm assuming that this release is their jump into the big leagues. Probably a little more future ready than the first and perhaps they'll have some workarounds for this problem once the dust settles.

I am really impressed with AD and they were actually my first choice when I was looking for a drum program but then I found out about BFD and wanted the extra routing options. Still I'm using AD in my current project and I can see using it on more stuff in the future. Medabots Rokusho Gba Rom.

Djoni How do I upgrade to AD2? Is there a discount for X3P users? I'm assuming you get AD1 to AD2 upgrade price because X3 came with the full version (I may be wrong). Also apparently if you bought X3 recently (within the upgrade grace period XLN is offering to new AD1 customers) you'll get a free upgrade. See the thread I posted above for Andrew's post. Although he does not provide details. Oh and just to buy the upgrade I'm assuming you'd just go through XLN's store thingie via the account you set up when you registered the version that came with X3.

A little older thread but this may help some who are wondering about presets from old AD versions. Or sharing AD kit setups. I was online and found some great AD1 presets (ex. Search for ' The Buddha Rats') Download and saved as.ADPreset (ex. Download Virtual Cake Shop Game.

TBR_RockBox.ADPreset) Opened up AD2 - selected the kit tab Drag the AD1 preset file from a windows explorer session onto AD2 --- VOILA! Kit and all settings are there Then hit save! To save it in your 'My Presets' bin of presets within AD2 and as an.AD2Preset in windows (C: users.) Yeah! Now if everyone who has AD1 or AD2 saved just one preset and shared it with everyone here. So I contacted XLN Audio support and I got the following response. Kind of a bummer.

I thought Platinum included a free update??? Sent: Hey, I do have one more question. How do I load the AD1 kit pieces into AD2? I have songs using these and would like to keep working on them with the new interface. Response: In answer to your question you cannot load in AD1 kitpieces into AD2 directly as AD2 is a different program from AD1.

But you can buy the upgrade to AD2 from us which converts all your AD1 content for use in AD2. More details on the upgrade can be found here: Anyone else.

I wanted to let the Addictive Drums users here know that I post a new AD preset on my Blog every Friday (in addition to the other AD presets that I always have available). The 3rd installment is already available for download as of this morning. Each preset is available for 1 week only (until the next Preset post), so get them while you can.

BTW, I've gotten the green light/thumbs up from Tore at XLN and the rest of the AD community, and hopefully you will find these presets to be musical, playable, and a lot of fun to use. *EDIT* Here's the link. Happy playing, The Buddha Rats. Wordpress has started placing ads on everyone's Blog pages from time to time. They say it's to help cover their costs of daily (free) operations.

I can't say I blame them- they offer a great service and it is, after all, free! I just wanted to let everyone know that these Google ads are NOT put there by me. I don't make money off my blog. If you click the Ads, I am not compensated in any way nor do I necessarily endorse any of the products they are talking about!

At some point I will pay the extra $30 a year for an ad-free site, but for now that is not an option. Also, the AD presets I post have always been, and will remain FREE!

Free for you to use either personally or professionally. I only ask that the presets I create for use are not to be bundled or offered up on any compilation disc or website, magazine, etc. Unless I give my permission. And now, for this weeks' preset: In honor of July 4th, I proudly present to you Weekly Preset 18: The TBR_ Pewterschmidttkicker Kit.

It’s a red, white and blue kit meant for all things Rock. You can download it here: Enjoy! Happy Holidays everyone. Here's a little update on what I've got in store for the Blog: Metal kits are coming for Addictive Drums!! I’ve had many requests to get some worked up, and I haven’t forgotten you all. Stay tuned for some very cool sounding presets specifically for those who worship at the Altar of Rawk.
