Maybe it's just me but I have always felt as if they lacked the kind of explosiveness of a real drum set. The reason for this is that I have never been that thrilled with the cymbals on Superior Drummer. Note: I originally had Superior Drummer and used it for a year or two before recently getting AD. I'm definitely no purist though as Superior Drummers velocity sensitivity on the snares and toms particularly seem more real to me. my SD2 libraries are under S:ToontrackSuperior Drummer.) The only thing I entered manually during the installation process was the path for Sonars VST.

Open the Product manager application on your computer and Login if its the first time using this application. Its found by logging into your account and clicking My Account > My products. If I absolutely had to choose I would probably go with AD as it is less CPU heavy, has an interface that I find more fun to play around with, and has a wider range of "out of the box" possibilities. Installing the Superior Drummer 2.0 download with the Product Manager Download the product manager application if you do not already have it. I really wanted to try and make my drum VST have that classic drum break sound and XLN AD gives you an amazing range of out of the box options that can sound both modern and dated. At an additional cost, there is also an option of getting the full sound library pre-installed on an SSD hard drive and. One thing I do prefer about AD is that you really get such a wide range of sounds out of the box. Version: Crossgrade Plattform: Mac/PC Supported plug-in formats: VST/AU/AAX Boxed: No Licensing type: Internet Plugin Format: vVST/Audio Unit/AAX. Death & Darkness plus the newest Area 44 are awesome and can be used for almost any music style. Superior Drummer is a larger package and has some great SDX expansions. I feel like I have good insight here as I have used both extensively.
