XLN Addictive Drums 2 has been elevated with the v2.5 update, delivering both workflow improvements and exciting new features. The software now boasts a sleek, revamped interface designed to keep you focused on your music with its polished, modern look. A standout new effect, Trig Gate, allows you to effortlessly sculpt your drum sound with precise gate action on every hit, no threshold adjustments needed, thanks to the use of internal MIDI drum notes. The new Boost mode for the compressor adds extra punch to your beats with multiband compression specially tuned for drums, giving your tracks more energy and impact. On top of that, the EQ now features real-time visual feedback across all frequencies, making it easier than ever to fine-tune your sound with clarity and precision. Best of all, this update is fully backwards compatible, so all your previous presets, tweaks, and settings will work seamlessly, and it supports every Addictive Drums 2 expansion, including ADpaks, MIDIpaks, and Kitpiece paks.
Captured in a legendary Los Angeles studio, the history filling the walls of the recording room cannot be understated. Steeped in rock and roll history, some of the most successful albums of all time have been captured in this exact room, using the exact drum kit featured in Fairfax Vol. 1, including the biggest grunge album of the '90s! A lively and characterful room, the Fairfax Vol. 1 ADpak is balanced and articulate, allowing every nuance of your drum performance to come to life in an exciting way. Perfectly positioned in the room, the modern Gretsch Stop Sign drum kit is balanced perfectly in frequency response with thunderous lows, defined midrange and smooth top end as well as in stereo spread, ensuring that each piece of the kit can be easily identified in the stereo field.
Captured using only the finest equipment available, Fairfax Vol. 1 produces ultra-high fidelity samples that suit any contemporary rock production. A collection of vintage and modern microphones has been used to capture the drums, giving you the ability to customise and blend yourself for maximum versatility with state-of-the-art hardware including a vintage 1960's discrete analog recording console.
Suitable for even the heaviest of rock mixes, the Gretsch Stop Sign kit included with Fairfax Vol. 1 is a 6-ply modern classic that's tuned to perfection to deliver maximum punch and resonance within your mixes. The thicker construction allows for more internal reflections within the shells, creating more resonance and tone from the drum that explodes to life in the expansive and characterful room. Paired with two expertly matched snare drums, the Fairfax Vol. 1 will have no issues in cutting through a dense mix. Affectionately named 'The Terminator', the included 14x6.5" Tama Bell Brass snare has been featured heavily on rock and metal albums ever since the '80s, famously known for its immaculate tone, heavy punch and sustain that only a bell brass snare can provide. The custom made 14x7" Craviotto Custom Shop drum is a boutique hand-made, steam-bent drum that provides a huge character with rich and complex harmonics. Matched with a selection of Zildjian cymbals that have been chosen for the bright and rich tone, the Fairfax Vol. 1 delivers the perfect solution for modern rock producers looking to add dynamism and precision to their arsenal.
FairFax Vol. 2 features a '60s Gretsch "Round Badge" kit with 3-ply construction, giving your tones a more rounded and natural sound with shorter decay. Although they may be vintage drum shells, this doesn't mean your sound won't be hi-fi, packing a huge punch and balanced frequency response, the Gretsch Round Badge kit is perfect for all things rock! In order to cut through a dense wall of distorted electric rock guitars, bass and vocals, the Fairfax Vol. 2 features two staple snare drums of hard-hitting rock drums, a Ludwig Black Beauty and a Ludwig brass snare. Both chosen specifically for their cutting tone that will sit above a heavy mix and give the impact and punch needed to drive your music with movement and energy. Matched with a selection of custom hand-made cymbals, the Fairfax Vol. 2 produces a silky smooth top-end to keep in line with the vintage shells, creating a cohesive and glued together sound that is perfect for taking your rock productions to the next level.
