The next step is to load up the Addictive Drums 2 standalone application. If your e-drum kit is connected via MIDI In on your audio interface, make sure that the audio interface drivers are installed and up to date. If your e-drum kit is connected to your computer directly via USB, go to the e-drum manufacturer’s website and get the latest software drivers for your kit. Now that you have all the necessary gear it’s time to set up your e-drum kit so that it triggers the sounds in Addictive Drums. With that said, you could get decent results with your computer’s built-in sound card, using Core Audio drivers in OSX or ASIO4ALL drivers in Windows. Not only does it help keeping the latency at a minimum, it also gives you proper balanced outputs (instead of the headphone jack on your laptop). Regardless of the connections on your drum module, we recommend that you get a dedicated audio interface for music production. Otherwise you will also need an audio interface with MIDI in, or a MIDI to USB device If the drum module has a USB jack, you can simply use a regular USB cable.
