Product Description
Straightforward, Amazing-sounding Drums
If you’re serious about beat-making, you need to make your productions stand out. That’s where XLN Audio’s Addictive Drums 2: Beat Producer Edition comes in. Besides the acclaimed Addictive Drums 2 engine, this bundle is brimming with high-quality acoustic and electronic sounds, along with programmed and live-played beats. Use the Transient Shaper to add or subtract snap, then use the Tone Designer for just the right amount of dampening. Use the built-in EQ, delay, and reverb to add the final polish to your drum tone. Add new dimensions to your drum sounds with specialty "Trigger" kit pieces like white noise, sine wave, or one-shot samples. If you want to add great, expensive-sounding electronic and acoustic drums to your projects, Addictive Drums 2: Beat Producer Edition will give your productions the depth and polish you demand.
Jam-packed with high-quality drum sounds to elevate your productions
XLN Audio pulled out all of the stops with Addictive Drums 2: Beat Producer Edition. This bundle includes a fine cache of ADpaks, including Reel Machines, Session Percussion, and Vintage Dry, arming you with straight-to-tape recordings of impossible-to-find instruments, a suite of exotic percussion, and dry, fat, and crisp 70s-style drum sounds. A generous cross-section of MIDIpaks includes Reel Machines Beats, Funk’d Up, and Percussion Beats, giving you tons of programmed beats for classic drum machines, unconventional, funk-fusion grooves and fills, and a useful array of complete beats and simple loops. You also get a selection of Kitpiece Paks, including Sonor Latino Bongos, Valter Percussion Standard Box Cajon, and Brazilian Pandeiro, fortifying your arsenal with Afro-Cuban-style bongo drums, a dynamic-sounding box Cajon, and traditional Brazilian percussion.
