Hi.
Have you tried it like this?
1. Mount the ISO file
2. Copy the «Addictive Drums 2» folder to your computer, where you want the libraries to be installed. For instance «C:Program FilesAD Libraries» or something like that (you can not delete this folder after installation)
3. Run the «AD2_Library_Placer.exe» file. You’ll get a confirmation saying that will be the place where the libraries will be set.
4. Then install the software using the «setup.exe» file in the original folder you downloaded. The installer is already cracked, so no need to use keygen or anything.
5. Ready!Basically, Setting up a folder in your computer with the «Addictive Drums 2», and then running «AD2_Library_Placer.exe» tells your computer where the library files will live.
Then, when you install the software, the VST files and everything else are installed on your VST folders and the rest of the program files are installed in your C drive (somewhere like «C:Program files (x86)XLN AudioAddictive Drums 2» or something like that).
Good luck!

@ Mr Lyann M
There is always a Text file is every R2R release with install directions. All Demon did was copypaste that info. You would have never had a problem if you had read the NFO and Text file

I am having EXACT same problem… but i DID follow directions EXACTLY as written in r2r txt. Placed library first (did it on external hard drive) — then ran INCLUDED setup.exe and still NOGUI… Please help I have no idea what else to do…uninstalled and reinstalled 3 different ways (first all 3: standalone, x86, and x64) then just x64, then just x86…still won’t work. I’m really confused as i never have an issue with r2r stuff. Please and thank you for your help
I even just tried copying Library to C: drive instead of external. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Re-ran library placer. Still no GUIBoot found.. I really am lost and confused as to what i could be doing wrong. Even tried to update video drivers. No change. Please help!

Anyone have any ideas? Please. Im stumped…

Are you on Xp or vista by any chance?
If so, I’ve just been reading about some people having problems installing on those operating systems
Check the audioz/windows software page for the potential solution

Hey midigin,
After I was connected to your computer I had a thought. This is happening a lot with computers that use the bootcamp drive feature. I think that is the problem, and hard to find a solution. I helped someone else with this that used that feature and it actually worked. I’ll try to look into it and let you know.
In between, I hadn’t realised you were using bootcamp until later. That would have saved us a lot of time. Sorry!
-
Mr. Lyann Music,
I saw that you were having the same problem that I am. I feel like I’m really close to solving the problem. When you said it was a problem with your library being corrupted by the online installer, what does that mean? Is there a file that needs to be deleted? Or do I just need to disable my internet connection before installing? Any help you could provide would be appreciated
Thanks and have a great day!

Demon,
I seem to be having the same problem Mr. Lyann Music did. I think he was talking about the online installer left over from the trial version. I never had the trial, just the R2R release. I was wondering if you could help me out? I’ve done the install the same way listed in this thread at least 4 times. I’ve re-downloaded the pack twice. I’m still getting the no GUI Boot error that he did. Also, I don’t see any .iso file in the pack. Would it be somewhere else? Any help would be very appreciated. I feel like I’m missing something small here.
-
Hi Jake, please send me a PM with your specs (platform, version, etc). If you’re on a mac, not much I can do. If you’re using bootcamp… that makes things harder, but we can always try.
Talk soon.

«No guiboot found» Addictive Drums 2 что делать?
Вариант 1:
«Я решил помещением этой раздачи в папку к установленным вст, и установке сразу от туда.»
Вариант 2:
«Просто не надо было библиотеку ставить в папку с кириллицей. Переместил её, теперь все в норме.»
Вариант 3:
«Если у кого возникает проблема no GUIBoot found на Windows_10_64, то, возможно, поможет этот порядок действий:
1) R2R_IS_AGAINST_BUSINESS_WAREZ_170811.cmd (от имени администратора);
2) Setup Addictive Drums 2 v2.1.7.exe (от имени администратора и устанавливаем всё не меняя пути);
3) Addictive Drums 2 переносим на диск «C» в папку документы;
4) после окончания копирования заходим в Addictive Drums 2 лежащую в папке «Документы» на диске «C» и запускаем от имени администратора AD2_Library_Placer.exe;
5) далее активируем прогой из папки R2R
6) запускаем Addictive Drums через иконку на рабочем столе (если там запустится, то в DAW тоже будет робить).»

Addictive Drums 2 тормозит
- Попробуйте в нем отключить все обработки внутри модуля, посылы на эффекты компрессора еку и т.д. и китпис настройки и т.д. там их во всех пресетах по умолчанию очень много.
- Вместо пода звуковую карту надо и проблемы уйдут. И советую купить ssd 4
- 1-е, отключить кеширование только используемых семплов (т.е. грузить всё в оперативку), 2-е проверить, хватает ли оперативки (с запасом) на подгружаемый пресет.
- Дело скорее всего именно в хардах- низкая скорость чтения с диска-5400 об/мин… Такие харды в 95 % ноутов

Многие гитаристы долго ждали Addictive Drums 2 от XLN, но оно того стоило!
Скачайте торрент Addictive Drums 2 для windows 7,10 32-64 bit + Mac и вам на выбор будет представлено множество виртуальных барабанных инструментов, предлагающих очень подробные наборы ударных инструментов, которые «с любовью») записываются в дорогих студиях.
Некоторые люди используют Аддиктив Драмс 2 исключительно как инструмент для демонстрации своего демо или написания песен, другие считают их действительной альтернативой реальным барабанам и уделяют много времени и сил тому, чтобы сделать их важной и признанной частью их музыки.
Какими бы ни были ваши убеждения, существуют такие факторы как стоимость, качество звука, уровень детализации реализма, расширяемость и простота использования, которые влияют на решение взять на вооружение тот или иной виртуальный барабанный инструмент.
Начиная с 2006 года Addictive Drums (иногда их называют просто AD) становится очень популярным. Хотя, возможно это не настолько тонко настраиваемый инструмент как скажем BFD FXpansion или Superior Drummer Toontrack, зато здесь присутстует философия от XLN Audio которая гласит «есть всё необходимое и нет ничего лишнего», что позволило легко получить отличные результаты с минимумом суеты.
Их постоянно расширяющаяся библиотека включает в себя множество наборов с 1960-х годов по сегодняшний день, все в высшей степени настраиваемые — по сравнению с другими, если это необходимо — с использованием хорошо продуманных эффектов и очень привлекательного и удобного интерфейса.
Принимая во внимание постоянный спрос на новые и улучшенные функции, Addictive Drums 2 (AD2) устраняет некоторые ограничения в оригинальной версии и извлекает выгоду из улучшений и дополнений по всем направлениям.
Установка Addictive Drums 2
Установка всех продуктов XLN теперь требует от вас использовать свой собственный онлайн-установщик, с использование Addictive Keys. После запуска приложения online-installer и входа в учетную запись, существующие библиотеки (если таковые имеются) сканируются и проверяются на наличие обновлений.
Эти и любые другие продукты Addictive Drums 2, которые вы только что приобрели, будут отображаться как «доступные для обновления» или «доступные для установки». Вы можете выбрать, чтобы загрузить и установить элементы по одному за раз, или все за один раз и с умным видом) наблюдать за процессом установки.
Вывод
В Addictive Drums 2 сделали многое, чтобы значительно повысить эффективность и удобство работы со своим продуктом: дополнительные слоты для компонентов, связывание компонентов, новые эффекты вставки (особенно Transient Shaper) и совместимость со старыми пресетами Addictive Drums 2, значительно улучшенная страница Beats и тд.
Система ценообразования от XLN является разумной, позволяя новичкам добавлять те наборы, которые они могут себе позволить, а не платить за огромную базовую библиотеку, которую они никогда не смогут использовать. Да, забыл сказать самое главное. Addictive Drums 2 звучит чертовски изумительно! Маст хэв для любого гитариста!
Альтернативное мнение об Addictive Drums 2
Привет, сегодня у нас на обзоре плагин ударных от компании XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2. Cразу хочу сказать, что как-то высказаться однозначно по поводу этого плагина очень сложно, потому как он имеет массу библиотек и все эти библиотеки звучат по-разному, какие-то звучат неплохо и даже очень хорошо, какие-то звучат отвратительно. В общем я решил скачать торрент Addictive Drums 2 и …
Мне очень не понравилось, что здесь есть библиотека «метал», как раз это та библиотека, которая звучит плохо и огромным минусом этой библиотеки является очень сильно пережатый звук. Не знаю от чего это зависит, может быть плохие пресеты, может быть просто правда плохая библиотека, но звуки хреновые, хреновые бочки, хреновые звуки малого барабана, то есть если вы хотите записывать какой-то металл, то лучше выбрать библиотеку «блэк вельвет», которая звучит намного лучше и намного чище.
Вы сами можете в этом убедиться, библиотека очень такая пластиковая. Не знаю, для домашней записи возможно она подошла бы неплохо, но мне она не понравилась и я ее не использую, в остальном я очень часто пользуюсь этими ударными, особенно когда не нужно настраивать какой-то звук и нужно что-то по-быстрому записать.
И так, здесь порядка 17 библиотек для разных стилей музыки, начиная от инди и заканчивая вообще электронной музыкой. Здесь также есть всё для этники, для рока, для металла, для электронной музыки, для латинской музыки и другие.
В любом случае скачайте торрент Addictive Drums 2 windows 7,10 32-64 bit + Mac и сделайте собственные выводы относительно этого продукта.
Сегодня, чтобы быть музыкантом, не совсем обязательно иметь в квартире десяток музыкальных инструментов. Достаточно лишь мощного компьютера, хорошего микрофона, наушников с отличным звучанием, неплохой акустики в комнате и умения пользоваться всем этим.
Существует большое количество программ для записи, имитации и сведения аудио-дорожек в одну. Так что вы легко можете стать обладателем профессионального домашнего оркестра даже не вставая из-за компьютерного стола. И всё это совершенно бесплатно!
Например, утилита Фрути Лупс позволит вам программировать реалистичное звучание множества инструментов. Но для этого необходимо иметь несколько плагинов.
Чтобы сымитировать звуки барабанов чаще всего используют адиктив драмс 2. Он функционирует без ошибок в шестой, а также седьмой версии приложения и поддерживается даже на Виндоус ХР.
Итак, вы решили применить данный плагин. Для начала скачайте установочный файл, проверьте его антивирусом и приступайте к распаковке.
Запустите установщик. Он предложит вам завершить дефрагментацию диска, но этот этап вполне можно пропустить и сразу нажать далее.
Следующий шаг — указать корневую папку для софта. Затем нужно прописать ещё одну папку, в которой будут храниться dll-файлы.
После того, как вы всё выберете, начнется установка. Дождитесь её окончания и зайдите в FL Studio.
В студии выбирайте меню options, перейдите к пункту file settings. Тут вы находите ту самую папочку с длл-документами.
Теперь, когда эдиктив драмз доступен, нажмите правой кнопкой мыши по любому инструменту, щёлкните insert, затем more. Поставьте галочку напротив барабанов.
Вот и всё. Если вы всё сделали верно, то программа должна работать корректно. Наслаждайтесь звуками ударных и творите историю прямо у себя дома!

Как установить addictive drums в reaper

Здравствуйте, дорогие друзья. Сегодня мы узнаем как установить плагин addictive drums в reaper.
Для начала нужно установить сам плагин addictive drums. Он устанавливается в папку Program Files/VstPlugins/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums/. Эта папка нам далее будет нужна.
Да, следует помнить, что нужно смонтировать диск с самими звуками барабанов. Без этого диска плагин работать не будет. А будет появляться вот такое окно:
рис. 1
Теперь, когда плагин установлен запускаем Reaper.
Для установки плагинов нам надо вызвать окно REAPER Preferences. Сделать это можно выбрав Preferences во вкладке Options.
рис. 2
Или просто нажав «Ctrl+p».
В появившемся окне выбираем вкладку plug-ins. В ней VST.
рис. 3
Справа в разделе VST plug-ins settings надо выбрать ту самую папку, в которую у нас установился плагин (C:Program FilesVstPluginsXLN AudioAddictive Drums). То есть жмём edit => add и выбираем эту папку.
рис. 4
Далее жмем «Clear cache/re-scan».
рис. 5
После этого reaper должен найти плагин и он нам будет доступен для использования.
Использовать его можно нажав правой кнопкой мыши по серой области окна программы вот так:
рис. 6
Выбираем Insert virtual instrument on new track.
Далее в списке доступных инструментов находим нужный плагин:

Under Options/Preferences/VST, have you tried Clear cache and rescan directory?
Under Options/Preferences/VST, have you tried Clear cache and rescan directory?
OK, things have taken a turn for the worse. I reinstalled Addictive Drums this morning and thought that while I was doing it, I would go ahead and move my VST directory to the default under Reaper (Program FilesReaperPluginsFX). I had it under the Cubase directory as I was using Cubase when I first installed. So I uninstalled AD and moved my other VST plugins to the Reaper directory. Opened Reaper and everything looked normal. Reinstalled AD and told it to put the dll in the Reaper directory. Opened Reaper and did a «Clear cache and rescan» and saw it load Addictive Drums.dll. Inserted a new track and went to FX and AD wasn’t listed. I opened a project that had an AD track already and it loaded. Woo!
BUT, now when I load the FX list, the only thing listed is AD! So it went from every but AD to only AD. WTF. I had to leave for work, so I couldn’t try anything else.

BUT, now when I load the FX list, the only thing listed is AD! So it went from every but AD to only AD. WTF. I had to leave for work, so I couldn’t try anything else.
This folder «Program FilesReaperPluginsFX» is NOT for VSTs — it is intended for the rea***** plugins.
I suggest you uninstall AD, move the VST folder back where it was and reinstall AD.
Then in Preferences >> plug-ins >> VST, add your VST path, edit the list of paths to make sure it’s all OK, then click [Clear cache and rescan directory]
If AD does not appear in the FX Browser, have a look at the file reaper-vstplugins.ini to see if you can find it there. If so, post the line of data here. For some VSTs the name declared to Reaper (the one that appears in the FX Browser is not the same as the VST product name).
edit: Oops I see DarkStar has already covered this while I was writing my post.
I’m not sure what’s caused this.
As far as I’m aware Reaper automatically looks in the directory under
So you wouldn’t have to create a path to it.
Personally, I feel it’s safer to keep my non-Reaper plug-ins in a separate folder area to Reaper. That keeps things neat and tidy in the Reaper folder.
Most of my non-Reaper plug-ins are under C:Program FilesVSTPlugIns. Then I create a path to this folder as described in the section of the User Guide called Enabling Plug-ins.
I have seen behavior similar to this with other commercial plugins. Just placing the DLL in the Reaper directory does not work. I have found that going through the plugins installer process and directing that process to install in some directory, then clearing cache and rescanning that directory clears it up.
I suspect there’s some registry tomfoolery causing this.
Where should the reaper-vstplugins.ini file be? I don’t see it under my Reaper install directory.
I moved the VSTis to c:program filesVstPlugins and rescanned. I got all my FX back, but AD is still missing. I scanned the registry and found where it tracks its install directory and I changed it to the new directory. Still no go. I guess I’ll try reinstalling again this afternoon.
I really don’t understand how this happened. I haven’t changed anything related to Reaper or AD in forever and AD just suddenly stopped working. Makes no sense.
It was a long time ago when I installed AD, but if my memory is correct I allowed it to install everything in the default locations.
The libraries ended up in C:Program FilesXLN Audio
I think the ‘Addictive Drums.dll’ ended up in somewhere like C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins. But I sinced moved it from there into my VSTPlugins folder.
You can move the Addictive Drums.dll to where you like and just tell Reaper where to find it by creating a path, as explained in the Reaper User Guide. It shouldn’t be necessary to make any changes in the Registry for the path to the dll.
You mustn’t change the original location of the libraries.
Problem solved! I uninstalled and reinstalled again and told AD to install the library files on my G: drive (where they’ve always been) and install the VST to Program FilesVstPlugins. Ran Reaper and did a rescan and it showed up!
Thanks for everyone’s input and help on this.

Hi Mike and welcome! 🙂
I Don’t know this. Is it a VST plug or has it got ReWire capabilities?
If It’s a VST, you can do two things:
1. You can uninstall it and install it once again in your VST-folder or
2. you can add the folder, where you installed it in «Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> VST». In the latter case you have to put a comma or a semicolon (don’t no which one of them at the moment) after the first path.
If it’s a ReWire thing, click the FX-Button and look under Rewire instead of VST.
You need to find a file called Addictive Drums.dll and put a copy of it in the folder you use for your VSTs. Alternatively, if you want to leave it where it is, you can create a path to where it’s located as described in the section called Enabling Plug-ins in the Reaper User Guide
I think when I first installed Addictive Drums, the dll ended up somewhere like C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins. But I sinced moved it from there.
A VST dll can be moved where you like, you just need to tell Reaper where to find it. It’s the associated sound libraries that you mustn’t move.
Strange. I’ll explain how I’ve got things set up on my computer. Things will be a bit different on your computer (e.g. usernames etc), but at least you can make a comparison.
Just so you can check the installation, these are the locations on my computer.
The installation put the main sound files in:
C:Program FilesXLN Audio
The total contents of this folder are quite large
Settings and my user presets are in:
C:UsersPeteDocumentsAddictive Drums
I moved the Addictive Drums.dll file (http://stash.reaper.fm/oldsb/72896/dll.jpg) into a folder under a folder where I keep my other VSTs. For me, this happens to be C:Program FilesVSTPlugIns
If I click on a track fx button then VSTi, Addictive Drums is first in the list (see picture below).
The picture below also shows my Reaper Preferences and the Track fx window.
Have you tried clicking on the button called ‘Clear cache and rescan directory’?
I think I had a slight problem finding AD when I first installed it.
I just checked and i have an AD .dll in SteinbergVSTplugins (put there by the installer I presume) I also have one in my VST folder which Reaper is pointed at (put there by me).
Seems like I had to copy the .dll for some reason, although I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t tbe found if you point Reaper at the SteinbergVst folder.
I have an Addictive Drums folder in My Documents and I have an XLN folder in Program files. The .dll file is in C:Program FilesVstplugins.
This makes no sense to me. Do I need something like another host in Reaper?
Also, I’m still running Reaper in demo mode. I was going to register it after I get this thing figured out. I don’t know if Demo mode has any limitations that might be affecting this or not.
OK. This probably isn’t best practice, but maybe extreme measures are required. Try putting a copy of the Addictive Drums dll in the following Reaper folder (or whatever the equivalent is on your computer).
Somtimes I have the same problem with new plug ins.
All I do to fix it is put it in a different folder(FX,VST,Virtual instruments,etc..)
Then I close Reaper,open back up and . «There it is!»
Pretyy backward way to do it but it seems to work for me.
Yes this has got me stumped. Have you tried posting a question on the XLN forum? See link below.
Can I just double check. Do other VSTi’s you’ve downloaded show up OK in Reaper?

This is how I got it to recognize my addictive drums demo
Yes this has got me stumped. Have you tried posting a question on the XLN forum? See link below.

I haven’t DL’d any other VST(i)’s, but plenty of VST plugins are there and the included REeaper VSTi’s work as they should.
My Addictive Drums.dll is in my Reaper Plugins folder and I added this folder in the Reaper/Options/Preferences/VST using the Add button and then re-scanned.
One more thing to check is whether it opens in another DAW? If it doesn’t, then I think it can be pinned down to AD.
Do you have another DAW? If not, you could try downloading the FL Studio demo. Obviously, for experimental purposes only.
OT. WARNING to any AD registered users that might think about trying this. I just tried AD in the FL Studio demo and it did open, but it came up as Unregistered. Then, when I went back and tried to open AD in Reaper it came up as unregistered as well :(. I tried to register it, but it wouldn’t let me because it said it was already registered on two computers (I’ve also got a copy on my laptop). I had to unregister AD then register it again. Fortunately this worked, but it was a very stressful few minutes, being as I’ve got 4 tracks to finish by Saturday. I need to go and lie down for a bit.
I store all of my pugs in this folder. Cuts on confusion on my part (i.e. me sitting there scratching my head for a half hour wondering where «XYZ» plugin is), and makes scanning alot quicker (especially on my system, with 11 billion plugs installed*)
* Note to self, maybe I should delete some of these. ugh, that’ll be a chore!
I am frustrated with this exact same problem. I’ve tried every solution mentioned on this thread and still can’t get Reaper to detect AD. Unfortunately I don’t have another computer to switch to. I have to make it work on this machine.
Any other suggestions?
Stratman, my preferences folder looks just like yours and I have the AD .dll file in my VST folder.
I’m going to try reinstalling AD.
It’s worth doing, as AD sounds great in my opinion. Even the demo version. Add a few free soundfont toms and hey presto, instant very pro free drums 🙂 Also download the free Kore Player for extra excellent drum sounds. Don’t forget to rescan your vst folder in Reaper. It’s quite good to have separate vsti and vst fx folders, just tell Reaper where they are. Cheers, Nev.

I had a problem with the NI,»Kore Player».When rendering it chopped sounds out especially cymbals.I spent way too many hours trying to find the casue and in the end decided it was just the player itself.I had to stop using it for this reason which was a shame because the 1 kit sound it comes with was quite useful 🙁
I’m in the same boat with you. I’ve put that dang Addictive Drums.dll file in every location I could find (or create).
Reaper just WILL NOT recognize Addictive Drums.

Carla : wrong binary location when loading Addictive Drums 2 VST
Hello,
I’m trying to use Addictive Drums 2 VSTi with Carla 1.9.6 in ardour 5.4 but the VSTi plugins complains that the binary location is wrong.
In fact, carla uses z:homeeleandar.wineADdosdevicesc:Program FilesSteinbergVstPlugins … in place of c:Program FilesSteinbergVstPlugins
Is there a way to tell Carla to use the good location path (the one used during installation of Addictive Drums) ?

Hi,
It’s been a while since I used AD with Linux but when you run the Addictive Drums installer you can also place the AD .dll file elsewhere on your system. For example when I installed Addictive Drums I would install the VST .dll in /usr/local/lib/vst but you could also just create a ‘.vst’ folder in your home folder as well and install to there and use ‘Configure Carla’ to add that VST path to your system.

Thank you for the tips.
The tab «Advanced» in XLN Audio installer let you choose the install path for VST32 and VST64. I changed the path for VST64 to something like Z:/home/eleandar/.vst and it works now.
But my old conf doesn’t let me use AD2 in ardour5 with Carla without a lot of Xruns below 512 buffers … So i cannot play my drums roland TD4KP with AD in realtime.

I downloaded the demo but Reaper can’t find it. It’s not in intsruments or VSTi. I click Insert > Virtual Instrument on New Track and Addictive Drums is not there. I;m not even sure if the dll is there but a bunch of addictive drum folders are in folders but I think it’s the BS nobody reads or needs. There are three adobe reader files and 3 files called Addictive Drums, Use Map and Midi file, settings, user presets, start up, don’t trace, live stage demo, machine demo and start up but there is nothing else and nothing in programs. This make me reluctant to buy Addictive Drums if getting them into a DAW is a pain. I wanted the option of a virtual drum machine and a real one. I would like to see a tab in Reaper called add VSTi WAVs, ect.. |

I use Addictive Drums very successfully in Reaper, and have for over 2 years. It sounds like you do not have the dll’s in a location that Reaper is scanning. Where are you having them installed? This is quite certainly a user error, but it’s common and easy to fix. But I can assure you that Addictive Drums and Reaper are an awesome combo!

That’s true. AD works flawlessly with Reaper. Loads fast and is extremely stable. By default, XLN installer puts only different versions of «Addictive Drums.dll» file (actual 32- and 64-bit plug-in) in both VST32 and VST64 folders, respectively. Library and support files are placed elsewhere and they don’t need to be scanned by Reaper. If you have used common procedure for placing VST plugins in their proper locations, plug-in DLLs should be there, in either root VST folder or one of its subfolders. Therefore, search for «Addictive Drums.dll», write down it’s location (beware of the version!) and then put that location in Reaper’s VST search path box (Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> VST). Rescan if needed; Reaper automatically scans all the subfolders. AD is listed under both VSTi and Instruments in Reaper’s FX Browser. HTH

I have serached for Addictive Drums.dll and window can’t find it. Gonna keep trying. Reaper can’t find it either. Editing post: The actual drum machine is either not there of windows can’t find it. It is listed in my programs but when I click it it goes to their webste and says «product up to date» I have done the rescan several times. Maybe XLN Audio is scamming.

Can you recall where the ADS installer put the VSTi plug-in? That’s the path you need to make sure that Reaper in scanning. Search the complete disk for the AD dll (I do not know its name). NB It may be is a hidden / protected folder.

But relax, XLN is not scamming anyone, the software is no bogus, it’s quite powerful actually. By the way, the dll is called «Addictive Drums.dll»

When I seach for addictive drums files and folders show up but none are the drum machine. |

I think you should uninstall it and start again from the beginning — this time either choose the place it installs the vsti or make a note of the location AD chooses for you. Like others, I’m using Addictive Drums with Reaper and everything works fine, you probably just made a simple mistake while installing (we’ve all done it some point!) |

Windows operating systems, by default, hide certain areas of the system drive or partition. So if you don’t trust dealing with companies that hides folders and/or files, you may need to change operating systems…. Just hassling you. Anyway, XLN does not hide folders. This sounds like a big confusion and you are not helping with your attacking and mistrustful attitude. Enough people have already tried to tell you that the issue is not some scam from XLN, Reaper, or anyone. This is a case of a possibly botched instal due to lack of paying attention or lack of experience. We’ve all been there, but you need to relax and have a better attitude or no one can help you. I suggest completely uninstalling Addictive Drums, and then reinstall and PAY ATTENTION to where it is putting things. Most apps have a running readout as it is installing. Addictive Drums is perfectly fine, just take a deep breath and relax, we are trying to help you…. Edit:

That choice is under Advanced in the installer and you set the 32 and 64 bit paths there. Whatever it says now is where it went and you can change it there post install and IIRC it will move it to the new location for you. The much maligned online installer is very good when not trying to outsmart it.

After reading the XLN Audio forums and all the customer complaints I think I’ll pass on getting Addictive Drums. I will try out these VSTis http://freevst.webs.com/drum_machines.htm I truly appreciate all the help and suggestions. Addictive Drums and XLN Audio need to get their act together before I will deal with them. I will probably get something tried and true like a Zoom, Boss or an Alesis machine. |

XLN does have their act together, but there are so many choices for different tastes. Personally, I have tried the one’s you linked to and preferred AD by a mile. But to each their own, lots of luck to ya!

VST plugins have .dll extension and don’t have to be registered, unlike DX plugins. So they have to be put in some folder from which DAWs can locate them. AFAIK, anyway. Maybe demo version has some other name?

The thing is I have read good things about AD but the fact that I downloaded them and they are no where to be found other than a about 15 files none of which contain tha application to be is BS. This is a common problem according to other users. There is also problems with them crashing day when more kits and sounds are added and this seems to be the case regardless of the DAW. The fact that I cannot even hear them on my computer and that when I click the link for them in my programs and I get taken to their site not only pisses me off it make me suspect of the company as a whole. Somebody needs to be fired. The software SHOULD down load and install like most software. It should find the DAW and work without all the BS. I’m not into solving mysteries and hide and seek. One guy on their forum bought added the brush kit and now it won’t work and they are doing nothing for him. So he’s out the cost of the original kit $179 and the cost of the add on. They may have had some great developers making their products but from what I can tell their business practices suck. If a real drum machine breaks you have a warranty and companies like Amazon, or Muscian’s Friend will do right by the customer. Based on what I have experienced and seen I don’t trust XLN. |

Dude, you really need to chill out. Addictive Drums totally rocks. I use it every day, and so do millions of other people. YOU did something wrong when you installed it. YOU didn’t pay attention to where the .dll was installed. It’s there. If you can’t find it, there’s no reason to launch into a bunch of conspiracy theory bullshit based on your mistake. No malware, no spyware, XLN isn’t trying to infiltrate your computer. You screwed up during the installation, plain and simple. I personally don’t care if you get it working or not. Mine works like a dream, and your attitude sucks. Man up and admit that you might have made a mistake. Have a nice day. Edward |

No malware, no spyware, XLN isn’t trying to infiltrate your computer. You screwed up during the installation, plain and simple. I personally don’t care if you get it working or not. Mine works like a dream, and your attitude sucks. Man up and admit that you might have made a mistake. Have a nice day. Edward Check your own attitude, actually. There is no need to lash back at an already angry dude. I agree with you, I use AD, had no problems installing, but I also am very comfortable with different installers and such. But everyone can deal with a dose of chill…

richie43, you’re right, and I apologize for the outburst. But I saw several people here trying to help this guy, and he just keeps coming back with more and more negativity. He never did say if he tried to reinstall, so who knows what happened. It just irks me when someone has the attitude that something is junk just because they can’t figure it out. I guess you can’t help someone who won’t help themselves, or at least try the solutions given. I was a bit snippy, but I still think he has a very negative attitude, and thinks the world is out to get him. I’ll stay out of this one, as I said, my AD works brilliantly. Again, sorry. Guess it just hit a nerve this time. Edward |

Guess it just hit a nerve this time. Edward No worries. Like I said, I agree with everything you said, he has been pretty negative an unwilling to try some of the suggestions. And I too have awesome results with the software- I’ve fooled many drummers even. I am just a bit «overly-positive», maybe annoyingly so. I have had so much help here, I tend to try very hard to remain helpful. It’s all good….Enjoy your music making!

OK, I’ll try it one last time… I’ll also use CAPS to emphasize what I think is important to understand or do. Addictive Drums DOES NOT have a standalone application (file with .exe extension), something you mentioned on several occasions, just a VSTi plugin (file with .dll extension). So there is no point searching for something that isn’t supposed to exist. Which also means it doesn’t work by itself, only via some VST host application — like Reaper. Try REINSTALLING (this means completely uninstalling first, then installing again from scratch) the software and write down exact path of VSTi plugins, both 32- and 64-bit versions. Library path is not of importance for the moment, plugins know where to find it. You didn’t even mention your CONFIGURATION, I suppose it’s Windows 7 64-bit and Reaper 64-bit, but I’m totally guessing here. In your original post you mentioned that you wanted Reaper to have VSTi tab. If you open FX BROWSER (View->FX Browser), you’ll actually find VSTi node in it. Most instruments can also be found in Instruments node. You won’t find Addictive Drums in VST node, because it’s VST instrument, not an VST effect (therefore it’s listed under VSTi instead of VST). That’s what I can think of right now, with little or no knowledge about your system. If you need more help, calm down, ask nicely and we’ll try to help you through this. It’s worth it, because Addictive Drums is excellent piece of software (and I have MANY drum sample libraries, so I know what I’m talking about). I (and other users, of course) had some issues with the first version XLN online installer, complained about them on their support forum and issues were promptly dealt with (promptly meaning — as soon as possible). It pays off to be polite and informative.

The 21st century brings me down. This is definitely Obama’s fault. CGB: make sure you have nothing interfering with the install. As in, antivirus sandboxing it, some sort of «active protection» (Comodo, Windows AV) stopping it, and for bonus points install it as administrator. If the .dll files end up in a director listed under reaper’s VST scanning directory (found in the settings menu), IT WILL WORK. As it does for me, about 7 friends I know who use it, and apparently a whole lot of people. You are making conclusions based on *terminology* that you don’t completely understand. «Hidden» does not imply deception in operating system parlance.

That doesn’t work. I ran the installer several times. It is an online installer and it says every thing is up to date. When I run the online installer advanced option does NOT show up. |

When I run the online installer advanced option does NOT show up. You are being silly again. If you are going to get anything from any of the good advice here, it would be extremely helpful for yourself to read what people are trying to tell you, and read all of it, not just bits and pieces…..You need to UNINSTALL first, then run the installer and look for the advanced options. If you run it after it is installed, it can’t run any advanced options, it’s already done installing. Uninstall the whole thing and start over, and this time pay attention to where things go.

The installer app itself is installed on your computer, but it draws from an online database to install the drum files. The installer is what we are asking you to uninstall first. Hang in there and relax, we are trying to walk you through this.
