→ What's new in update v2.5?

The v2.5 update gives all users of Addictive Drums 2 plenty of workflow improvements and several brand new features:

A brand new look: Addictive Drums 2 now has a new stunning, sleek design. It's the Addictive Drums 2 you know and love, but more visually appealing. The new look helps keep you focused on what's really important: your music.

New "Trig Gate" effect: The new Trig Gate lets you mangle your drum sound and still get perfect gate action on every drum hit. No need to dial in threshold settings - the gate is perfectly triggered by the internal midi drum notes.

New compressor "Boost" mode: Make your drums hit harder with the click of a button. The new “Boostˮ mode adds a new level of thump and attack to your beats, fueled by an XLN-approved multiband compression tailored for drums.

Even better EQ: The EQ now has clear real-time visual feedback of the signal across all frequencies. All settings are clearly visible for easier and more precise adjustments.

The installer stalled in the beginning of the install process. After waiting for 20 minutes for the progress bar to move, I had to force quit. I used Pacifist and had to check pre/post install scripts to ensure I got things into the right locations and set the permissions correctly. But after that everything works.

Works on M2 Sequoia, also if you move the Sound Data to an external drive (creating config.txt as mentioned above).

I just moved folder XLN Audio to my external SSD, created symbolic link and put it back in Library/Application Support/.
Simple as that.

BTW,

I went thru many Drums libraries. If you are looking for a clean sounding drumset there's nothing better than "Death" for Superior Drummer 3 (IMO).
I know the name is so weird but that library is really amazing.

Peace!

nice share but with so many huge drum VSTis why would anyone bother with this, toontracks ex drummer and their flagship superior drummer, bad and this is way too much of a hassle compared to tune tracks, slate and Brogen using NI Kontakt,

I say stick to toontracks, but stil a nice upload to have around and try one day

lol what? This isnt a new plugin. You're asking why anyone would choose this one since others exist? Maybe no one has the other plugins that you mention. What kind of question is that?

Addictive drummer is a great drum plugin. Has been for years.

Works on Catalina
In the end I had to first copy the installer to my desktop and drop it onto 'permissions reset' before it would complete the installation.
The installer was getting stuck trying to install directly from the mounted dmg I think
Just been playing around with it and now it's an hour later and I'm impressed!
Superior Drummer is gonna be sulking
Thanks

Note CASE SENSITIVE
Looks you have APFS Case Sensitive as filesystem and they are as lazy as Adobe on the filenames in code and on storage.

Try some volume without Case Sensitive as Install Target.

Try codesigning the plugins and then rescan the plugin manager. Steps below...

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Addictive: No such file or directory
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Addictive: No such file or directory
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Addictive: No such file or directory

and the plugins are there, I can see them.... What can I do to fix this???

I appreciatte your help....

Cubase supports VST3 format. Launch Cubase >> Click on Studio >> Vst Plugin Manager. Check the VST Instruments tab >> Click on Rescan. If Addictive Drums 2 shows up after the rescan you are good to go. When you add a VST instrument in a project, Addictive Drums should show up under Synth.

If the plugins are in the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST & /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ folders. Do the codesign in the terminal one by one as follows:

Paste in terminal:
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Addictive Drums 2.vst

Press Enter and then your password.

Do the same for VST3 as well in the terminal.

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Addictive Drums 2.vst3
