Where is Addictive Drums?

you have to go online and get it ...
they want you to register with them and do the download from their site 
they have an installer with a whole process to follow ..
I think this is the link I might of used , anyway they explain it here ...

it was actually pretty easy , and I wound up using the same installer for Addictive Keys 
every thing went smooth when I did this a few days ago

Jinx! Bed time.

 Be sure to click the Advanced option to specify the installation path if you don't want the default on your system drive. But the cool thing is you can change your mind later, and the installer will move it after the fact.

Dave , 
Do you happen to know if you can change your mind after the fact if you did a normal default install ?

Ok this is supposed to be the Full version? I only recieved the Demo version?? How do I get the Full version?

But I was mistaken about getting the key from my Store account; I got it from the e-mail sent by Cakewalk containing all the S/Ns for bundled products. I just checked, and it's actually not showing in my Cakewalk Store account for whatever reason.

 
Ditto on all counts  

I blame the pirates, not those trying to protect themselves from piracy. This went smooth as silk for me in any case. What does "Get thrown out" mean?

brundlefly
Yes, because I did it. It installed to my system drive by default, and I moved it to D: after the fact by going to the "Advanced" section of the online installer.

wow,  thanks for the info

Hi Dave, I actually installed AK first using the downloader on the DVD.  Then used that again for AD.    But I did have to create an account the first time out.

I sort of hijack this thread ;)
I have just upgraded my Sonar to the X3 Producer edition and installed the full Addictive Drums. So far so fine...
But when i open X3 it only reccons the AD free x32. I can't find the full version. What am i missing?
I did restart the computer. 
Does anyone had this experience and found a solution?
Cheers!

Well, I hear you guys, but it still ain't working here - and I have been here since Pro Audio 9, so I'm not new to this.  AD is in my XLN product list on the Installer, but it kicks me out with this: "ERROR File download failed! Please check your internet connection and try temporaily disabling firewall or anti-virus apps...Cotton XLN Online Installer/1001/InstallData_app_ad/FactoryPresets/AD/PopRock/MediumSmack n Pop.ADPreset".  Obviously this message would be unintelligible to the layman, but luckily I have worked with IT professionals over many years, so I can interpret.  Translated, it means: "Go away, you are an idiot and we don't want your business.  We have expensive toys to play with, leave us alone".  No problem.  XLN won't be getting any more business of mine!

Great working I contacted Xln and figured out which account I had originally Registered under updated and voila! Thanks

Bristol, just an FYI, even if Cakewalk had included a disc, you would still have to download AD.  As many who have ordered discs of XLN's products will attest, the disc is nothing more than the videos available on youtube and a serial number for you to go download the product.

Hey Bristol
I take it you're not thinking of upgrading to BFD3 on account of it's new interface ?
 
Sorry to hijack this thread

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your contract ? Were you aware it could happen when you started breaking up your studio ?
I was going to say it's as well you got it done before hand at least as you might not have done so once you'd found out about your job. I too am unemployed and have also been suffering from what is probably a bulging disc in my neck that's pressing on a nerve which means I can't spend a lot of time sat at my computer which is a mixed blessing.
 
 
I don't ever visit the CH, I went occasionally when the forum when news group based.
 
Whilst I completely agree about the overall look of BFD3 compared to BFD2 it really is a LOT easier to work with and absolutely no tweakability has been removed whatsoever, in fact quite a lot more tweakability has been added in the form of cymbal swell and tom resonance which I'm only just starting to understand but it's a very powerful weapon in the right hands
 
Also some of the new platinum sample kits are really another level up though I still love the Cocktail Kit and I have quite a lot to choose from now. It's claimed there are 7 new kits with BFD3 but it depends how you look at it. I'd say there were 5 in reality, one of the kits though is brushes and mallets along with sticks. Some would say that equates to 3 kits whereas I would say it's one kit hit with different objects, and of course I'm right
 
Not sure I'll upgrade to X3 for a while. It looks to me to be 75% third party additions with a few new features thrown in.
Some would call it bloatware, especially those like myself who already own a lot of that stuff anyway. I've had addictive drums for about 6 years but stopped using it once I learnt how to mix with BFD2.
 
You sell me X3 and I'll sell you BFD3 ?
 
There should be a demo for you to try BFD3 in a week or so.
 
Steve
 

Yes, pardon the pun but it is indeed a major pain in the neck, and arm and I have three numb fingers which makes playing guitar very odd.
 
I just had another look at X3 and there are a few tempters but I'll wait a little while and see what santa brings me.
 
The cymbal swells aren't quite the same as they are in BFD2, for a start they are automatic (though adjustable) and they also work for hi-hats too which makes for very smooth transitions when going from closed to open. I need to sit down and read through the manual as I know there is a lot I'm missing out on. There are supposed to tutorial video's being made but no word as to when they'll be available yet. Some nice new effects included in particular the new reverb and drive delay.
