What it is
Addictive Trigger is XLN Audio's intelligent drum replacement plugin. It uses a proprietary Audio Fingerprint detection system, built on FFT-based analysis, to identify individual drum hits in a live recording and convert them into MIDI-triggered samples, even when the source has heavy mic bleed or background noise. The included sound library pulls from Addictive Drums' award-winning collection, recorded at studios like Fairfax Recording and United Recording.
Who it's for
Recording engineers and mix producers working with live-tracked drums who need to reinforce or replace weak, inconsistent, or poorly captured hits without re-recording. It suits anyone mixing rock, metal, or pop sessions where a tighter, more consistent drum sound is the goal.
Key features
- Audio Fingerprint hit detection tells apart stroke types played at similar velocities, even under noisy conditions
- SuperStart analyzes a few seconds of source audio and auto-configures detection settings, skipping manual parameter tuning
- Direct compatibility with Addictive Drums 2 presets and ADpaks means no conversion step
- MIDI export lets the detected hits drive any third-party drum instrument
