In this video, I discuss the new free update for XLN Audio's Addictive Drums 2, which I've used for nearly two decades. The update improves the plugin's layout with modern visuals, UI rescaling for better visibility on 4K screens, and some new features like a multi-band compressor and trigger gate. I'm thrilled with these subtle but impactful changes, making it a pleasure to use moving forward.

In the video, I demonstrated how to set up an XO preset in Bitwig Studio to avoid muting and unmuting the return channel. By muting the individual buses and leaving the master channel untouched, you can hear the preview of samples without any audio leakage.
