Hey guys,

I'm relatively new to cracking on Mac. I'm on Big Sur 11.6. First I've downloaded the xln-audio-addictive-drums-2-update-v232-macos-trazor most recent AD2 update, v2.3.2 from Trazor. So far so good. Then I opened my DAW (FL Studio), and it told me that none of the adpaks had been installed. Every kit is a preview, even Fairfax. I checked XLN's application support folder, went into the folder "ADBV0002" (which I'm assuming is the main AD2 folder), and saw all the .xpak files there, loaded with the AP_# files and files like "AP_B_Studio.xpak," which I'm assuming is the Studio kit.

I'm assuming that Trazor's download only includes the unlocked AD2 software itself, so I dug a little harder. Eventually I found xln-audio-addictive-drums-2-complete-v2115-macos the AD2 v.2.1.15 complete package by certi4real, and got to downloading that. Ok, now I have 13 different parts of the "200056.rar" file.

However, upon opening any of them, there is no .txt installation file for me to follow, just a folder called "XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 Complete v2.1.15 macOS" containing .7z files of the same name, only within each folder there are another 13 parts and all of them have numerical extensions after the .7z (i.e., XLN.Audio.Addictive.Drums.2.Complete.v2.1.15-macOS.7z.001, XLN.Audio.Addictive.Drums.2.Complete.v2.1.15-macOS.7z.002). I can't unzip these because of those ending numerical extensions, and when I try to delete them off the end to just leave the .7z extension, the files are still unreadable. Each 200056.rar file, no matter if it's 200056.part04.rar or 200056.part13.rar, contains seemingly the same exact files.

I'm so deeply confused as to how I'm supposed to install these files. Any help is appreciated! Is there a .txt file somewhere that I'm supposed to follow?

Thank you so much!

.7z.001 .7z.002 / .zip.001 .zip.002 / .rar .r00 .r01 are Multi-Part Archive Files.
same with your 200056.part04.rar or 200056.part13.rar

7z is 7-Zip https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

 

use Keka for archive extraction on MacOS

 

AD2 is the easiest installation of any Drummer on Mac. Installing the update release from Trazor that you already downloaded will fix the black gui problem, if you have that happen. Just install it on top of 2.1.15.

There is an install instructions file.
