I used the downloaded installer to download AD2 to my new PC. However I cant hear it in Cakewalk through headphones, and I cant even get it to make a sound when using the standalone AD2 through my Windows (10) Realtek speakers either. So it seems to be an AD2 problem rather than a Cakewalk problem? I've also e mailed the makers but these can take a good while to get an answer so I thought perhaps someone knew a way forward?
3) Once you select your audio driver mode in Addictive Drums, load a drum kit into it, then you should be able to simply click on the various drums and cymbals in the kit, in the Addictive Drums user interface window, and they should produce sound - routed to whatever audio driver mode/device you selected in the preferences.
Thanks for this...I've just noticed a crafty " not installed" banner at the top corner of the standalone version. Odd as I went through the process of downloading it and signed in with my account details. So it looks like I've made yet another schoolboy error...I'm now going to figure out what I didnt do..Doh!
It doesn't get much more '70s than this. The 1968 Ludwig Silver Sparkle is like the drum kit equivalent of a glitter ball, and it'll make you feel just as groovy. But to get the sort of authentic '70s drum sound that's been brought back into vogue by artists like Daft Punk and Justice, we pulled out all the retro tricks. We started by tuning and dampening the individual drums using authentic '70s methods: The kick was stuffed with a pillow and a large sheet of felt. Newspaper was taped to the snare heads and more felt sheets were pinned to the toms. Then, to ensure audio authenticity, we recorded it using only microphones from the 1960-70s (Coles, Neumann, Sennheiser and Bang & Olufsen) sent through the studio's vintage API console.
