XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2: Reel Machines ADpak

Recorded on half-inch tape

Ok, are you strapped in? We took real mint-condition electronic drum machines from the '80s, and recorded them through Neve 1073 preamps onto half inch reels of audio tape on a two channel 1/2" Ampex tape machine with heavy saturation.

Basically, it's a bit like Weird Science… we made the computer stuff come alive, and it's BEAUTIFUL!

All classic drum machines - Simmons, LinnDrum, 808, 909 and DMX

Are you ready to get your geek on? One of the main benefits of being a digital drummer is you don't need a van to transport all your kit, so this expansion comes complete with no fewer than five original drum machines from the '80s, amped up and sounding just as rad as they did back then.

By using the kick and snare microphone balance settings in Addictive Drums you can mix between the clean and the saturated signal.

We also added a special Stocktronics RX4000 Plate reverb, and real room ambiance, which you can dial up or down, allowing you to go from raw electronic sounds to large and roomy. The included presets cover electronic styles ranging from eighties pop to house, dubstep, drum & bass and techno.
