Reid Rosefelt Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 They are now selling bundles of ADpaks and MIDIpaks. Did they ever do that before? 10 MIDIpaks for $65. I think I would have taken that deal long ago. Even on sale, that's $100. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely new, would have saved me a bunch since I ended up having to buy bundles to get all the MIDI (which also got me all the drums) and 4 left over kitpieces with nothing to choose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Verstraten Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Are they doing any active development anymore? Can't remember anything since XO Light last year. AD3 really has to be something special to get people to move away from EZD2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 AD3 is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong overdue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Toontrack does more drum sets and MIDI in two weeks than XLN does in two years. But I am happy with the Addictive Drums I already own and there are lots of places to get MIDI, like Ugritone, where you can get 20% off with the Code TIGER. (please note: affiliate link) Full disclosure: I am not just a shill for Ugritone. In fact I purchased one of their collections just the other day. For a dollar.

jesse g Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I don't need any more MIDIpaks or ADpaks, I jut new a new GUI that has new features like two kick drums or a drummers perspective. Maybe give me separate outs for cymbals or allow me to alternate different mics on my kits. Give me AD3 Edited November 11, 2020 by jesse g 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwaffel Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 When I talked to them last, they were hinting that AD3 was coming. That was over a year ago now though so who knows what they are doing. I use AD2 as my main drum plugin but I'm seriously considering just moving to SD3 at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sorrels Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'll admit I horde MIDI files like a fiend. But sadly good ones are never very cheap. Ugritone is very nice, recommended. I also like the AD2 MIDI packs and drums to be honest. My big headache now that I've finally gotten all the EZKey MIDI files is to figure out how to get all the Toontrack Drum MIDI files without going broke. All the good sources for 6 packs have increased their prices a bit. Took me two years to get caught up on the EZKey MIDI files. I think completing the drums may take even longer. I hope AD3 is in development though. I'd hate for Toontrack to be the only one left standing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. And I also noticed the EZ midi 6pks went up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really cheap but The Loop Loft was the go to for MIDI loops. Not sure what's happened now that NI bought them. Groove Monkee has great MIDI files. And of course Toontrack and Addictive Drums. I'm sure I'm forgetting some though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Grabed one of the Midi 5pk. HAven't picked them yet. Might get that Studio Pop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Matthew; The Loop Loft, Groove Monkee are two that I've used and the quality is pretty good. Don't forget the MIDIs that come with your chosen drum sampler are often pretty good too. Ugritone as mentioned above is good and you can get cheap deals on them every now and then. And for those writing music in unusual time signatures, OddGrooves is great too. The drumming on those is pretty busy though, which might be good or bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSMcGuitar Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I use and like AD2... but it's hard to want to buy further into a product that seems to be dead. Been 5 years since release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
