I almost went for the Fairfax but thought the Rock Classic would be the most generic. To bad I didn't pre view. I guess they have sales and special offers and I'll grab a few more down the road. It looks like it has a lot of editing options so this is all good. I'll get the hang of it. 
I think I can tweak the sounds a little. And whats with the Hi hats being on a different note from GM? I'm getting a rim shot on F#?? That sucks. 
Alex my Midi buffers are always at 1200. But you could be right. I figured this computer should never barf on one of my simple projects. I never go beyond 16 tracks ever and only 4 soft synths tops. Session drummer, True Piano, TTS-1 and sometimes Dim Pro. I might have 2 effects busses and a few Sonitus compressors. I haven't had audio issues since I ditched the Tascam us1641. so this freaked me out.  
 
So far working in Professional for me is absolutely no different than Studio. It looks the same and other than the buttons for Mix Recall I forget I upgraded.. 
Not complaining as I don't want to fall behind, but this is not at all like going from 8.5 to X3. Kinda anticlimactic. 

Just out of curiosity, did you have the ProChannel before? That's one of the best parts of X... Some excellent plugins in an easy to use syste... The included pc76 compressor and Quad EQ alone are brilliant!

@ Mesh    How do you upgrade AD1 stuff to AD2? I see Legacy things in my AD2 and I guess I assumed they got upgraded automatically, both the kits and midipaks.

Keni - if you can download the AD2 demo first from XLN and you can hear audio clips of the different ADPaks. They will also offer to download a demo version of Fairfax 1 (minus some of the kit pieces) via the XLN installer. You can also hear samples of each kit piece and ADPak on their web site although I must admit some sounded better there than in the AD2 demo. I just uninstalled the demo and the demo Fairfax 1 before I entered my serial from Cake to choose my stuff.  

Thanks DaGeek...

It's not reasonable for me to download the demo... I have extremely limited web access...

Studio has Pro Channel. But some of the modules were missing as I expect they still are in Professional. That was always one of the few differences between the middle and top version. 
I'm not a huge user of those types of processing anyways. I try and capture the sounds properly and hopefully they don't need processing after the fact. I get by using the basic EQ that is in Pro Channel and using the Sonitus Compressor still.
