As a bass player, I love using EZBass as it sometimes adds things that I would never have thought of. Or it adds the highs or lows I wasn’t able to get. Mike, these videos are awesome!

Hi, Mike - great stuff and much appreciated! I have both of these tools, too. On my system I kind of hear your example has a slight chorusing effect when you added EZBass.

Thanks again Mike for the review/tutorial on the EZbass and using it with SD3. I would think this would be useful in creating my own music, especially if it was used in conjunction with EZkeys. Your videos are well done production-wise, very good quality both video and audio. I would like someday to ask how you create these videos. A noticeable difference in sound from the original recording. Very impressive.

This is amazing. I have some bass libraries based on Kontakt, I also use Modo Bass from time to time but I like this far more than Modo, it sounds way more realistic (because it is lol) and features way more articulations. Now I hope they release a fretless model, a Dingwall model, and a Warwick Thumb xD

@TryptychUK4 жыл бұрын
Some interesting points there, but I have to say I'm not overly impressed with EZBasses sounds. You basically have only two guitars and limited effects. Better to dump the MIDI onto the DAW track and then replace it with a better VST like IK Modo Bass or Spectrasonics Trilian.

Cooles Video Ich setze es als Ideengeber ein. Wenn ich einen Groove und Harmoniespur habe ist es mit NI-Kontakt mühselig einen Groove über Tastatur einzuspielen. Ich könnte direkt den Bass einspielen , aber zum komponieren und ausprobieren mühselig. So kann ich auf Drums oder Keys passende Linien finden oder ich kann mit Gitarre Bass einspielen und hab somit auch MIDI Spur die ich tweaken kann. Unglaublich viele Möglichkeiten, die mir Zeit ersparen und meinen Workflow beschleunigen. Preis finde ich mehr als gerechtfertigt.

Mike I bought Ezbass yesterday and I do have a question for you. Is it possible to use the standalone Ezbass software to jam along with a song using the presets as a sound like SD3 on my e kit?
@MikeLuke4 жыл бұрын
I don’t know 100%, but I don’t think so. Because the software is based on MIDI information just like the drum software, but your Bass guitar does not create MIDI notes. It’s meant to be that you play your part and then afterwards convert your playing into MIDI and then use the presets. If you want other sounds, you’d need to use a common amp plugin (EZmix for example).

Thanks. I see you were using Studio One. Any particular reason? It seems to have a bug (Presonus says unrequested feature) in that it won't save polyphonic aftertouch used for cymbal chokes, etc... whereas Reaper and a few other DAWs will save the events properly.
@MikeLuke4 жыл бұрын
Hi David, I still use Reaper, but now additionally Studio One as well. They both have the pros and cons, but you are right. There’s nothing Reaper cannot do. But I start to like Studio One as well, it’s very intuitive and feels like a modern DAW. Haven’t found out about this missing aftertouch feature, to be honest.

Hey, I have been trying to use the audio tracker to input my bass track for an original, and with followhost on, in the same tab, it plays on time with the song. But when I add midi to song track, the timing is haywire. The midi has over double the bars of the sing, despite the same signature and tempo of the DAW(in my case - FL Studio). Could you help me with it?
