The pack covers a range of tones, from clean and punchy to heavily warped and crunchy. Each patch is fully customizable, so you can adjust it to fit your arrangement and mix.

Sound Character and Low-End Processing

Drew Adieu's patches lean on distortion and saturation. Expect a mix of sounds, from tight and clean 808s to grittier subs with more harmonic content. Future Audio Workshop notes that the 808s and subs are designed to add punch to the low end, which makes the pack suited to producers who want their bass to cut through on smaller speakers as well as large systems.

The patches are named by character, including Atlanta, Banger, Heavy Reese, Thump and Rumble, so you can quickly find a starting point that matches the feel you want.

Using the Patches in SubLab XL

Because all 15 patches are designed for SubLab XL, this pack works as an expansion for owners of the full instrument. A full copy of SubLab XL is required, so the pack will not run on its own.

Each patch is customizable, which means you can start from Drew Adieu's sound and then adjust it for tuning, drive and tone to suit your track. The included names cover a range of styles, from the Reese-style sounds Crazy Reese, Heavy Reese and Low Reese to heavier hardcore and crunchy options.
