![]() The kits included in AD are a Sonor Designer, DW Collector's Series, and a Tama Starclassic. The drum kits have about 12-16 velocity-layers combined with alternating samples in each velocity-layer for maximum realism. Installation was a breeze with an online challenge/ response authorization.Īll of AD's samples are recorded, edited, and mixed at 24-bit, 96 kHz before compression to a proprietary format that XLN claims is equivalent to 24-bit, 44.1 kHz. XLN states that a full kit takes about 350 MB of RAM, but recommends that you have 1 to 1.5 GB available to keep everything running smoothly. Addictive Drums is both PC and MAC compatible, but for this review, I tested AD on a Dual G5 Mac with 6 GB RAM using Logic as the host. The plug-in is very intuitive, easy to use, and is the closest you're likely to come to producing a slammin' track without an actual drummer. AD includes VST, AU and RTAS plug-ins and is officially supported for Pro Tools, Logic, GarageBand, DP, Cubase, SONAR, Live, and Tracktion. XLN's Addictive Drums offers a flexible real-world solution. Unfortunately, the constraints of time and budget sometimes make this scenario impossible. There's nothing like hiring a great drummer with a quality kit, recording it with a selection of killer mics, and processing the tracks through an assortment of world-class outboard gear.
