Tweak your sound with the built-in mixer and effects

Addictive Drums comes with a set of high quality built-in effects and a powerful mixer giving you all tools you need to shape the sound. All channels have their own equalizer, compressor and distortion module and there's also an effect send with dual reverbs.

Microphone positioning

On the kick and snare drum you can adjust the microphone balance. The kick has one microphone on the front head and one aimed at the beater. On the snare there's one microphone under the snare and one over.
Snare buzz adjustment

Hitting the kick or toms will cause the snare to give off a buzzing sound. Add more buzz for a dirtier sound or reduce it to get a more controlled sound.
Room microphone distance

The room microphones are used to record the natural reverb of the recording studio. Adjust the distance to alter the delay between the room microphones and the close individual microphones on the kit.

Multiple outputs

Do you want to process the drums with your own gear?
By using multiple outputs you get complete control over the sound. Each channel in Addictive Drums can be directly routed to a channel in your music production software. This allows you to use your favorite compressor on your favorite drums.
