Before you do anything, read these instructions completely. There's a right way to do this and a wrong way - and the right way takes about thirty seconds.
V1.0.1 is live. Here's what's changed since V1.0.0:
Pro Tools crash fixes
General bug fixes and stability improvements
Performance optimisations
The update runs through the DF-XCITE 2 Updater, which was installed automatically alongside the plugin.
Follow these steps exactly:
Open the DF-XCITE 2 plugin window.
Click the question mark icon at the top of the interface to access Settings.
Click the LAUNCH UPDATER button to open the updater.
Save your session and close your DAW before proceeding to ensure a clean update.
Open the folder where you installed DF-XCITE 2.
Double-click the DF-XCITE 2 Updater executable.
Select "Update Components" and make sure all boxes are ticked.
Run the update.
That's it. No reinstall. No drama.
If you're starting fresh, grab version 1.0 from the original download link in your email. After that first clean install, all future updates go through the updater.
Reach out to the Drumforge support team at support@drumforge.com. We'll get you sorted.
Every future update to DF-XCITE 2 - and all Drumforge plugins - follows this same process. Once you know it, you know it.
Get updated and keep creating.

Joel Wanasek's mix of Skillet's "Lift Me Up" hit #1 on iTunes Rock and #9 on iTunes All Genre charts day one. That's his eighth number one overall, and the seventh in the last three years. "It is always exciting to get one," he says, "because you might only get on a couple of tracks a year that really have the potential to chart like that.” "Lift Me Up” was produced by David Cowell, who Joel describes as “one of the hardest working and most focused producers in rock.”
