I've had several people recommend Acoustic Sample's basses, but I haven't tried them.

Yes. Everything was NI except the cowbell. 😆

@@rcarrillo7 The cowbell was amazing

Well, I don't know for this one yet... but I am a guitarist, and I totally love Electric Mint and Vintage Electric and use them in nearly all my productions :) EDIT: watched the whole video, and well, yes, the patterns do not seem to be very useful or inspiring, and yes some of the other NI basses sound probably as good, and probably better when soloing.

Or for people that do not want to buy a bass and the rest of the hardware gear just to include a simple bassline in a composition that they have made with sample libraries. Just as they have not purchased a cello, a mandolin orchestra, a symphonic brass section and a hardware modular synth and learned how to play them, but still they want to be able to bundle up a small composition to have some fun.

@@paopis I don’t think you read my post correctly. I’m not talking about people playing real basses, guitars, cellos. I’m talking about the progression of pluggins. Many of them come with preset lines and grooves for non musicians, which is fine. I was just pointing out that other older plugins like the scarbee basses are just as good if not better, they just don’t have the preset groove features and they require you to know how to play a keyboard or some other midi instrument. That’s the only reason I mentioned newer plugins cater to non musicians, which again, is not a bad thing.

@@albtii Oh, yes.. now I see your point. True that! :-)

@@albtii agreed! BTW I purchased Prime Bass, after having watched videos that convinced me it could be a fun tool. Presets are in fact very inspiring, and combining both melody and presets can really give nice ideas. But even with no presets, it sounds as good asmy Pre Bass, has more articulations (muted/slapped), and more control over the sound. I miss the natural slides that some old NI basses have, but you can somehow emulate them with the slide keyswitch. The good thing with pre made patterns is that some things sound more natural with them - for instance, repeating the same note on 8ths... even with round robins, even with nice libraries, it does not sound totally realistic. Here you have real 8th repeating performances, you can use them when you need them, and then switch to normal, melody mode, with the same sound. This is more powerful than any other library I own currently. And at under 50€ currently... no-brainer for me :)

Cubase midi export is so much better. Also, audio editing in cubase is a dream. and it has way more midi functions that are easy to access.

@@hifimidi Thanks so much for your answer. I've been with Logic 15+ years. I recently got Cubase 12 to try to explore a new DAW, but It hasn't convinced me yet.
