I saw a nice video about Addictive Drums 2 on the Cakewalk FB feed and it looks like it comes with X3 Producer now. I've been a producer user since it first came out. Will there be an upgrade available for existing producer users?

Well if yer on X3 P already, like I am...........I wouldn't be holding my breath.............
 

There is an older thread where this was discussed for days! Cake users are welcome to the $75 upgrade price. This has been a point of contention since AD2 was released. We older users felt kind of slighted for not getting a slightly better upgrade price at least. On the other hand AD1 was FREE! Why can't we be happy with the $75 upgrade for something we received for nada? It was a quite good thread for a while. Until everyone paid and upgraded! HEH!

I 've own AD for years so the X3 wasn't as beneficial to me as for others.
But I am rewarded at last and get a discount to upgrade to AD2. 
I gotta wait till next months internet quota is replenished and been getting into the videos.
It is much more improved than I first suspected.

Feature-wise, sound-wise, or both?

Both. I had to pay for the upgrade as well and I think it's worth it. I don't know if it's still available but the upgrade is $79 and you may still be able to get the Fairfax ADPak as well for an additional $20. The Fairfax ADPak is listed at over $100, I'm not sure of it's price offhand.

Same here.   Even though I actually haven't used it yet, from the playing around I've done so far I really like the Fairfax kit.   I'm happy with the AD2 upgrade as-is, but the two together make for a great upgrade combo IMHO.
 

I have a question.  I recently upgraded to Sonar X3 with an email stating that I would receive a free upgrade to AD2.  Well, I already own and registered AD1, so I was interested.  The instructions state that I am to register the serial number on XLN's website and I will receive a new AD2 in my account.  However, after I registered my new AD1 Serial, nothing changed!  It now knows I own two serials of AD1, but it only shows 1, and to make things worse, I still don't see any free upgrade to AD2.  I tried contacting XLN in two different emails, but I still haven't heard back.  What am I supposed to do?

I'm not sure what would happen. You should get in touch with XLN's support. Explain to them what's going on and see what they say. I already owned AD1 when I bought X3 and in lieu of having another AD1, I received two ADpaks instead.

Sure you got the right deal?
