Addictive Drums???

so you have AD installed?

if it's on a new PC you might have installed AD into a different directory than you installed it before, causing an error in the registry when opening an older project because the plugin manager has a registry entry for that plugin in a different directory.

then that's just not making sense unless someone else gave you this project to open?

That definitely does not makes sense as AD is a paid plugin and not bundled with Sonar (although Sonar is one of AD's recommended hosts). Are you sure you didn't download the demo at some point? The demo is fully functional but only gives you a few drums to tinker around with and I don't think you can add anything above that. It is however a super cool program and I intend on buying a full version very soon (Session Drummer is annoying the hell out of me). I'd say go to the XLN site and post a comment on their forum. They are super helpful. I always got a reply from an actual XLN rep within a day even though I don't actually own the software yet. Also if I were you and wanted to get something like that working on a new system I'd uninstall then reinstall the offending plugin.

he should theoreticaly be able to use the midi track with session drummer three.
but a.d. drums have a different map.
so some instruments may be different.

if by some strang reason the mappings line up and everything is where it is supposed to be while using session drummer 3...

i got nothing.

@Beagle. If someone gave him a project file that used AD and he didn't have AD installed wouldn't he have to pick a new plug in to play back the tracks that use AD? Even as a bundled project file I don't think it would install AD components just to playback the track. I'm not sure how that would work.

I'm pretty sure it would pop up a message stating that it couldn't find AD.  but no, it would not install AD or any of its components even with a bundle.

Yes, I'm sure I've never installed the demo but the following may explain something:
I scanned all drives for the word addictive and XLN Audio Addictive Drums popped up on my 2 day old SSD C drive...I thought wtf?!
It is a template file in C; Prog files\comon files\native instruments\controller editor
Must have something to do with the Guitar Rig installation since they are the only native instruments product I use.
Sure, but that still wouldn't explain why he saw AD in his plugins browser.
Charlie, I saw it in the synth rack not necessarily in the plug-in browser.
I will check to see if it shows up there also but maybe I should delete the file...I dunno it's not causing any problems I can see just weird.

Maybe AD is inserted in a track's effects bin?

Bah... sorry. I see you have the path listed. I'm about to fire up my rig to do some other stuff but I'll take a look.

Weird. Do you handle other peoples projects?

Heh. Well the only thing I can think of is this. AD isn't a standalone software. It needs a host like Sonar or FL. Perhaps Native Instruments can act as a host as well (it would make sense because can run Guitar Rig as a standalone). That said... you know how sometimes when looking through your plugins you find empty folders where certain sounds should be (because you have not installed them)? It could be a placeholder like that within NI. They do make a lot of drum controllers and stuff which one would use with AD. How it got onto your track... well... do ya like the barley pops as much as I do? ;-p

LMAO...well I will say that wouldn't be impossible
