Troubleshooting "Addictive Drums 2 Could Not Find Bus Layouts" Error: A Step-by-Step Guide

macOS Users

• The Problem: Apple’s security permissions (Full Disk Access) or a corrupted .plist file.
• The Fix: Go to ~/Library/Preferences/ (In Finder, hit Cmd+Shift+G and type that). Delete com.xlnaudio.AddictiveDrums2.plist. Restart.

1. Close your DAW completely (Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio, Reaper, etc.).
2. Open File Explorer and type %appdata% into the address bar, then press Enter. This takes you to C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming.
3. Locate the folder named XLN Audio.
4. Open the Addictive Drums 2 folder.
5. Find and delete the file named Settings.xml or AD2.settings.
6. Re-open your DAW and load Addictive Drums 2. The plugin will rebuild a fresh Settings.xml file with default bus layouts. The error should be gone.
