Hi Mike,I believe you can load addictive drums but you don't have access to the separate microphones and I don't believe we have the access to enable us to have separate audio tracks for each drum.
If we come away from Andrei's fabulous performance and just look at the drum kits. They all were very realistic but like Sonivox pluggins they lack real presence when added to a mix. You may have heard Andrei saying that some of the cymbals were too loud, well he has no way of being able to adjust them.
Superior you have all the audio tracks, you're able to change the level of each audio track, you can add effects to individual drums, this is as you know very important when getting the kit to sound right for your mix.
I thought the snares, Toms and the cymbals on addictive drums were very crisp. I wasn't impressed by the bass drums and cow bells.
Superior's bass drums are so good you almost have to hold them back. If Andrei had used Superior, it would have sounded superior. lol I'm sure Phil will chime in with a more detailed comparison. Steve W----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Tyo" <mtyo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I finally got to listen to the file, and it's pretty impressive. Aside from the musicianship, I was more interested in the sound of the plug-in, and I thought it sounded quite realistic. Yes, there was a lot of compression, but it sounded to me like it was put on the overall recording. The reason I say this is because I could hear the gentleman's voice cutting through all of the drumming, etc.I don't recall whether anybody mentioned it or not, but is this synth accessible? Also, does anybody know off hand if it's comparable in cost to Superior Drummer? I do want to look toward getting a better drum synth in here at some point - but this economy's gotta improve so that clients will start spending money on custom work so I can make money.Cheers!

You can hear he's put in hours of rehearsing with those drum kits. At the end where he's struggling with some of those intricate fills, I've rarely heard drummers perform such complicated ideas. Phil do you know who he is? He's obviously English which explains why he's so good lol.Steve W----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Muir" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2011 9:42 PMSubject: [ddots-l] Never Heard Drums Played Like This On A Keyboard BeforeHi all!Saw this post on another list. Not that keen on the drums in the demo as I personally think Addictive Drums sound over compressed. But, the playing isamazing. http://media.libsyn.com/media/bct/bct1554AddictiveDrums.mp3 Regards, Phil Muir Accessibility Training Telephone: US (615) 713-2021 UK +44-1747-821-794 Mobile: UK +44-7968-136-246 E-mail: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx URL: http://www.accessibilitytraining.co.uk/ PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
