There are not many other DAW/plugin combinations that can easily do that. TTS-1 is especially useful when you are opening a multi-track GM song file in Cakewalk, as it can automatically assign the instruments in the GM song file to individual parts in one instance of TTS-1. Some TTS-1 sounds may work fine in the mix, but often some lead sounds tend to stand out as not as good as many new sampled instruments. The same thing goes for any other TTS-1 instrument sound you may later wish to swap out later. That can easily be done with the piano for example, by inserting an instance of Addictive Keys in your project, and then re-routing the MIDI track you had assigned to the TTS-1 piano sound over to the Addictive Keys. TTS-1 is very useful for setting up tracks or track templates for a song, but you will probably want to replace certain TTS-1 sounds in your song at some point. But I still think the drum kits and samples are much more realistic and configurable in AD2.Īddictive Keys is just pianos, but is more realistic sounding than the pianos in TTS-1. Since the company was founded in 2005, XLN Audio's main goal has been to develop market leading music creation tools that are inspiring, powerful, and easy to use.
ADDICTIVE DRUMS 2 DEMO SOFTWARE
Session Drummer is useful for some things as you can drag your own samples directly onto the kit pieces in the UI and trigger them. XLN Audio is a music software company located in Stockholm, Sweden. It still works in CbB, and you can find it here : Cakewalk also provided an AD2 drum map and track template for Sonar, which is very useful for setting up a song template. Plus you can buy new kits and patterns at the XLN website. Cakewalk added AD2 to Sonar as their premium bundled drum plugin. Yes, in my opinion Addictive Drums 2 is better the Session Drummer. Is Addictive drums better than session drummer? And is Addictive Keys better than Cakewalk TTS1? I also found Addictive Keys under soft Synth. Thanks for the information! I believe I downloaded and installed this about a week ago, I just now went to use it and found it under insert drums.
