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!
ADDICTIVE DRUMS 2 PRESETS DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10
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.
