Hi i am trying to get Addictive drums to work, i have managed to get it appear in the VST's and the drag it to a new track, but when i add midi or click on the piano roll there is no sound?

When you play AD2 midi files in the AD2 beat browser do you get any sound?

Hello, thanks for the reply, no i am not getting no sound from the Addictive Drums interface either

Is the output of the track routed to your audio device? ( or routed to a bus which has its output set to your audio device, which is the prefered method.) You won't hear anything if it is not.

How do i find this? On the track under input/output it says I Omni and O Addictive Drums but when i try edit these it doesn't give me no other options

You can put AD into the synth rack.
 
Create a track and set the input to Addictive drums Main out Stereo.
 
You should be able to hear them after that.
 
You can create additional tracks for all, or some, of the outputs for AD. I use the individual outputs for AD. There is a down arrow at the bottom of each fader in the AD UI. You will need to set those if you choose to use the individual outputs for AD. I prefer the individual outs method as it acts more like a recorded kit. IMO, it sounds better as well.

Just to be clear on my end. You should have a midi track and an audio track. Any added midi drum data should be put in to the midi track. On the audio track, insert AD2.
Now, set the midi tracks output to the audio track that contains AD2.
Set the audio tracks output that contains AD2 to the audio interfaces output. If you are using a template that has a master buss in it, the audio from your track should be set for the master buss. Make sure the master buss output is set for your interfaces output.
That should cover all the things I can think of. If you are using a midi controller to trigger AD2 you have to turn on the monitoring button on the audio track. It is the button on the right of the record button on the track.
 
 

I just saw the previous post. The way I told you to set it is if you want to use just the stereo outs from AD2. He is correct in the multiout setup. I just thought it would be simpler for now for you to deal with just getting some audio out. Hope these posts have helped.

Ok what i do is insert a Midi track because i have midi tracks i want to edit with addictive drums but when i select the Input on the track it doesn't give me no options, where as when i insert a audio track i do get sound from addictive drums but can't use my midi tracks
