Thanks Ghenghis - I closed AD down and when I reopened it, they were there. All good now!




I had question XLNAudio support on this and they told me that to avoid clutter they did not show the MIDI

Hey Musec03,
I did the same as you and it all went well, but I can't figure out where the 3 midi beats packs I chose have gone. They did not appear in the XLN download queue like the AD packs and kit pieces did. Any ideas? 


I emailed support about this when I purchased the Producer Bundle earlier. They informed me that in order to avoid clutter in the download, the MIDI Beats Pacs do not show up, but do install.

The Midi packs I selected are still showing up as demos in AD2.  I'll email XLN.

Thanks musec03. You saved me time and a support call. Much appreciated!
 
The CCC still shows AD2 as not installed. It doesn't really affect me, so nothing to worry about. I'm sure the bakers will get that figured out. All is well on my system with Sonar and AD2. Time to delve into the new adpaks...

...ran into a small snag ... it was my fault.... maybe this will save YOU some time... if you have the same situation
 
Upgraded to SONAR Platinum ...
Installed all except Addictive Drums 2 & Melodyne ...because I had already purchased the full version of both prior to upgrading SONAR
 
Didn't want to re-install AD2 ...I did want the 3 AD PAKS!!!

*** after some confusion ***
 
I ran the XLN Online Installer
In response to the question "Where Did You Get This Product?" ...it's important to click "Other, Not Sure"
reason being the Others did not allow full entry of the given serial number 
 
...CAREFULLY entered the product serial number for AD 2 displayed in Command Center

Hit Register Product Key and BAM!!! - the three AD PAK deal popped up...

Installed my choices and good to go....

...hope someone benefits from this!!!
(or maybe I'm just slow as hell)

NOTE ... VERY Satisfied with the new Upgrade process ...Cakewalk COOL!!!
 
 


Yep... It took me a bit to figure it out but once I found the XLN installer, everything became butta! I picked my three kits but am taking my time with the midi and pieces. Just go back to the (IIRC) installer/installation page and there are the options for picking the rest of my stuff. Am happy with it. I WAS confusing at first, going through CC.

How do we access the ADpaks we had purchased for AD1 in AD2?
The Upgrade details on the XLN site states "AND upgrades all of your existing content to the new AD2 format".
I have the 3 ADpaks deal available in the XLN installer (which I haven't chosen yet), but my previous sets aren't available in AD2.
Thanks.

You'll need to (pay) upgrade your AD1 for it to be available in AD2.........there's no way around this. XLN is pretty good with giving you a discounted price on the upgrade, so you may want to contact them directly.

I'm still screwed.  Apparently if you DON'T choose "other" you're hosed.  Have not been able to register / get my copy of AD2.
 
I have an email into them but no reply yet.

Thanks for your great info.  I did not update my AD1 to AD2 last summer, knowing that the new version of Sonar would have AD2.  I have only one adpack, but if I understand what others are saying, I need to still upgrade to AD2 to use it.  Is this correct? 
 
Thanks for your time, and remember "We're only in it for the money".  or Mudsharks.
