Addictive Drums Overview



Addictive Drums is a Complete Drum Production Studio. Our concept is
this:



To create a convincing drum track in any style you need 3 things:



The .raw. drum/cymbal sounds, recorded with a multi mic setup

The mixing process, including all the effects and the know how of a
producer/technician

The grooves, beats and fills of a good drummer



Addictive Drums offers all this, in an easy to use plugin, compatible
with all the major hosts out there!



With the included Presets you can immediately try out different
production styles and easily tweak anything in the mix to make it
perfect. No more .I have 30 plugin windows to keep track of just for
the drums.. And when you.ve perfected your favourite drum sound, just
save it and re use it in the next project!





Kits Pieces



Addictive Drums ships with 3 complete kits, and lots of extra drums
and cymbals. The samples include every nuance from the softest to the
hardest hits, many stroke variations hihat has 12 variations, snare
has 6 for example Alteating samples through out bring unparalleled
realism.



All sampled drum/cymbal sounds are recorded with a multi channel mic
setup, just as you would record a real drum kit. The AD Kits

tweaking to major reconstruction of the sound.

Midi files



A vast library of midi files in different styles, all easily
accessible from within AD gives you the building blocks to create drum
tracks quickly. The built in browser lets you search by keyword
.Ride., .Metal., or sort by Category, BPM, Time signature.
Drag.n.drop files the files you like to AD.s favourite list, or drag
them right into your host.s arrangement window!





The AD Midi Library



More than 3000 beats and fills in various styles such as Pop/Rock,
Metal, Funk, Jazz etc are included. There are basic Kick+Snare beats
with variations on each like .8th Hihat. .w Ghostnotes. .4th Ride.
etc. There are also .Songs. which contain 4 bar
Verse/Bridge/Chorus/Middle8 variations. And lots more!





Let it all out . separate outputs



AD is a multi out plugin, meaning that every channel in the AD mixer
can be routed to a separate output if you like.





Setting it up



Read this general guide on how to set up routing of separate outputs
into your host!





Take the Bus!



One common .trick. in drum mixing is to create a submix of some
kitpieces kick+snare+hihat for example on a separate channel in the
mixer. This submix is then often treated to some heavy
compression/slight distortion, and finally brought back into the main
mix at a lower level. This means you can get a quite thick and crunchy
sound courtesy of the submix, while still maintaining the dynamics
and punch of the .main. mix. AD.s mixer has a special Bus Channel that
lets you do just this and lots more.





Cymbal chokin.



AD has an advanced system for creating realistic cymbal chokes. When
the drummer grabs the cymbal and silences it.

You hit the cymbal on one key, and choke it with another. AD
calculates the volume on the cymbal at that particular time, and plays
a choke sample that fits perfectly. There are even different choke
samples on the ride cymbal, depending on if you hit the bell or the
edge before the choke! All choke samples are multilayered and have
alteating samples as well.
