Render Addictive Drums 2. Two files aren't the same

[tomo34]

Hi,

I'm trying to render drum track comes from Addictive Drums 2, but two files after rendering aren't exactly the same to the sample.

For example: first and second render contain the same midi item. Then in new project window > create two tracks and insert those two track rendered, but second track has phase reverse. If files would be the same I should hear nothing but I hear a lot of stereo image information from overheads, kick and snare.

Why is that?

Multi-sampling? Remember that AD2, like most good drum programs does round-robin on the samples to avoid the "machine-gun" snare rolls...

Round-robin, humanization of velocity and/or timing: these things will mean playback won't be identical twice in a row.

Ok, thanks for answers!

Given that you hear mostly stereo info in the null I would guess you are using the built in reverb?

No, any FX comes with AD2 (buss, room, etc) was turned off.

What everyone else said; any half-decent drum VSTi will have multiple samples for every kit piece and velocity layer and will trigger them randomly to make the sound more human-like.
