Thanks.
I ran the installer but my 'About' in AD2 says 2.0.0 still. Anyone else see that?
Edit: Ok, got it.  The installer needed to update itself (?) and I thought that was the update...

After the Installer has updated itself you have to click on any update buttons in the list on the left of the Installer window.

Thanks for the notice- mine updated no problem, and in doing listening and measurement tests between AD1 and AD2, right off the bat AD2 identical settings for the same set is about 5.5dB softer. It appears to have a bit more dynamic range, as well. Has anyone else done any testing?

Thank you Carl!!! I have quite a delay when maneuvering within AD2. To listen to toms or any piece there is shuddering and at least a second delay/reaction  time. Building a kit took forever. I don't know why. AD1 runs fine. I don't have this problem with any other soft synth. I do love AD though!

AD2 in my rig is a CPU hog! Most of you here know I am a Superior Drummer guy and I do like AD1 for it's quick load times for live gigs. AD2 is chomping down on my CPU so much in some projects that my i7 first core is bouncing in the red all the time. AD1 didn't do this. Superior is the least hungry of the 3. I can't even use BFD Eco if it's over 5 or 6 tracks. If I start shutting off the FX in AD2 I can get the CPU down but then I've lost the character sound because the FX are shut off. I guess I'll keep on playing around until I find that sweet spot.

I feel better now Sidroe but only because I thought what was going on with AD2 was something I set up wrong. I'm just now trying AD2 2.0.1 so hopefully it won't tax my PC as much now. I love AD1
