XLN Audio touts Black Velvet as one of the 3 top selling Adpaks for AD2.
I'm leaning towards the Blue Oyster Adpak instead.
Apart from buying both, if you had to choose just one, which one and why?
Thanks in advance!

Don't want to spoil it but they already had a summer sale (30% off) last month. It ended June 24th and was it like like 3 days or so. I picked up AD2 XL custom during that sale. Perhaps they do another one in august. Wouldn't mind to feed some extra midi snacks to the drumbeastaudiot wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 6:01 pmWait a few weeks and buy both They usually do a summer sale in august:

They also did a 45% off sale in March (which iirc was also down from 50% in previous years).audiot wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:15 pmDamn ... seems i've missed the newsletter. XO was on my demo list And only 30 % this year? The summer sale discount was always 50 %

Personally, Id choose Black Velvet. This pack was made at a later time than the Blue Oyster & XLN's sampling techniques got better. The sound is a little more versatile and not dependent upon effects. My music is HipHop and at times I need some real powerful drums and these do the trick, but I have most of the AD2 packs as well to compliment.

If JRRShop comes back up, the bundles they sell for Addictive Drums are awesomely priced. You can pick 3 or 6 different kits, midi packs and kit pieces depending on the bundle.

I wondered about the sale too. Different month (June as opposed to August), different discount (30% as opposed to 50%), but similar name and artwork (if memory serves). I can afford to wait a couple of weeks and see if an August sale is coming.

Are we losing hope for this sale?
