Love all your reviews, Mike. Thanks so much for what you provide to the v-drum/e-drum community, and thanks for the absolute best reviews of everything Toontrack!

A great demo thank you ,it is now on my shopping list .

Mike, you are a gift to us. Well done review. You told us just what we needed to know. Thanks! (Hope your new studio is coming along nicely.)

Fantastic! I’ve been begging for EZBass on the Toontrack forums for nearly seven years. And now that it’s finally here, it’s so much more than I hoped for. 😎🤘

Thank you. Just bought yesterday and was immediately impressed

This was a really good demonstration. The best I’ve seen so far. Thanks

I had no idea EZ even did this! Talk about going to their page fast. I hope to give a more informed comment later down the line but this is a fascinating program for a multitude or reasons. Thanks so much for the upload on this

Great review! Love that you showed how quickly you could make a song using the EZ line products together!

Hey Mike, thanks. I have been playing with it for about an hour, sounds incredible!

Thanks Mike for this clear and complete review. Cheers!

Excellent review as always Mike. I bought it as soon as it was available. I use it primarily to add to the bass line and it works great. Thanks again my friend.

A great review! THX!

EZbass released on my 68th birthday. Happy Bday to me! Bought it and am in the process of learning how to use it. Toontrack has always delivered for me. EZdrummer, Superior Drummer, EZkeys... Guess my Mondo bass and Scarbee basses will be gathering digital dust. One of the things that jumped out at me immediately is the ease of adding articulations. With Scarbee it was adding in key switches to get the performance I was after. I found it tedious and not conducive to the creative process. Thank you, Toontrack, for one of the best birthday presents EVER!

I was waiting for someone to demo this around real world expectations. I saw just what I could actually use in my work flow. Thanks for the video! Alright!...new software day!

*TOTALLY anticipated something like this for years to compliment Superior Drummer etc. I purchased it a few days ago!*

I have it now and don’t yet know what the hell I’m doing with it but it holds a ton of promise. Thanks for the video, it will prove helpful as I learn EZ Bass!

Thank you for clear and outstanding video and tutorial, best wishes.

great review--loved the blues example

Thanks for the review Mike, very interesting!

Great review thank you Mike...It is fu*kin amazing. I own SDX 2 and Ezi Keys and now I will get EzBass and come to think of it I think EzDrums. Love it man

A good "to the point" vid. Thanks. I just purchased EZ Bass a few days ago and it's everything I'd expect from Toontrack and more. And because I also have EZ Keys and Drummer, it's pretty intuitive.

Great Review

Enjoyed your excellent review - clear, concise and very informative. MVH

Thanks Mike for a concise but thorough overview of the key features I think most of us were curious about. I've got several song demos lined up that will definitely benefit from EZBass AI making the choices instead of my rudimentary and aimless plunking around.

Can t wait for Rickenbass based preset 😍

great review

Going to buy it now!

Defiantly awesome mike

omg thats amazing!!!

A dream come true

Its just Amazing

wow...just wow....gotta have this!

Very good review. I anticipate that Toontrack will follow midi styles packages for jazz standards from bebop to post bop.

AMAZING!!!!!

Good review.

Purchased the whole EZ line ❤Too 👍🏻 good

amazing !

its nice video for me and hope more in a days to come, i have just started using EZBASS< and EZDRUM

i got it and it"s pretty solid.OMG

Hey Mike Well Said ..and Well...Great Job on your tutorial ! Your always a master ....Cheers

Amazing . I can't wait for EZGuitar.

I already use EZ drummer 2, EZkeys and EZ mix.I will buy EZ bass this week.I like the tools they are great to work with.

Great video, thank you bro. I’ll be getting EZ Bass in the next few days & I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can do with it. Now if they would only make an EZ Guitar as well...

I'm glad someone is enjoying it. Wish I could order it but sadly they wont take my money.

Btw, the lowest note is limited to A0, which is a standard 5-string tuning dropped down by 2 semitones.

Thank you so much for this video, I'm currently weighing out my options between Trillian and this VST, and I think you've settled my decision. Trillian is great and all but I'd rather pay $150 less for the sounds I'm actually going to use instead of a bunch of unnecessary outdated presets.

Can't wait for a Dingwall expansion :D

Best one by far!

I bought the product a few days ago. It is AMAZING !! if you do not have access to a good bass player, this software is great. it sounds great. if I play a guitar part, it tracks my chords well and I am able to create a believable bassline which is in tune with my melody. Great product !!

Danke! G

Great review.

The crown goes to Toontrack!!! Best Virtual Bass period!!!

Hey man, great video. Regarding the tuning alternatives: On a real bass or a real guitar, the frets don't give you exactly the right note in every position. You can for example tune your open string to sound perfectly in tune, but no matter how good your playing skills are, in some positions on the fretboard your instrument will always sound just a slight bit out of tune. Perfect tuning means, every note on the whole fretboard sounds exactly in tune. The have built guitars that can do that, they call them "true temperament" guitars.

Amazing! This is like the answer to my prayers, I can play these instruments to a good level but I don't have the money to buy real drums that sound amazing and record well, nevermind the room or mics or inputs required to actually record them well, so Sd3 has been a total boon to me. Now it seems that I can give up trying to get an amazing bass tone all on my own with my hofner beatle bass and my apollo and uad software. It just isn't easy to wrestle those low frequencies into submission and get them to play nicely with each other, especially in the rooms I have available to me. This might just be the shortcut to getting a respectable sound on a limited budget! And those keys sound lush as well! I mean come on, it's all built to work well together and sound good together, and the features are mind blowing, you've definitely sold me on it, I need to get ez bass and keys as soon as possible! I'll let you know it was me when my music has conquered the world and my name is on everybody's tongue! Hehe

Awesome company.Waiting on ypur opinion pm the NEW lagacy of rock, before buying.Thanks dude.

Guitar / bass audio to midi conversion is a perfect feature (like SD3 tracker).

Love TOONTRACKS products! Would you do a more in depth tutorial on the EZBass product for the non bassist?

Am I not needed anymore? 😥 Great review. All the best!

Totally game changer and now ujam try to make same but ezbass kicks!

I have Modo Bass and Ujam's Virtual Basses ... but since I own EZDrummer2 and Superior Drummer 3, this is hard to resist. I'm not a bass player, but I really like the Toontrack method of Song Creator, so ... "where's my wallet?" I have no doubt Toontrack will build on this software with Rickenbacker, etc,etc. as well as more grooves, etc. Good job Toontrack!

Thanx a lot. A LoT ! Think the Best and the Fastest rewiew. Buy this stuff thank to You pretty hrd work and professionalism. Tell this to Toontrack $)

I see a great potential for practicing and rehearsing with those software. It is also a great asset for writing music. The sound is quite impressive, but it will not replace an actual bassist or drummer of course.

best vst in the world😭😭😭😭👏👏👏

Great review, great video as usual, thank you! P.S. No more Reaper, you moove to studio one now? Me too, after of almost 30 years of being a user of Cubase!

cool..does it have alternate tuning like detuning lower on 4th string or all?

I bought it but have some issues already. 1. To get the dynamics of EZbass you have to leave it's own editor track within the program. The moment you move the midi file from the program to a DAW (which I like to use for all tracks) all velocities were at 127 and ghost notes and slides were suspect at best. 2. Midi files within Ezkeys works great. But if you use a different midi file not originated in Toontrack software, it's not so good. I took a 4 chord progression (piano roll) and it couldn't identify if it was a drum roll or keyboard roll. It defaulted to drum roll and I had to select piano. Then it only played the root note. It didn't move like you show in your demo. It played quarter notes. When I changed the pattern from the library, it still only played the first chord pattern. It didn't switch to the other chords at all. 3. If you have to keep the EZbass line in the program and not move it to a DAW, then if you have any timing changes in the DAW, it will not be picked up in the EZbass program. So you have to manually change it there as well which takes time if you are moving through time changes. 4. The audio conversion from guitar chords is meh at best. It might identify the root. But that's it. If you have any real complex chords, this thing won't recognize it. And that's what I've found in the short time I've had it. I'm sure I'll find some more.

@mike play with ezbass for 3-4 hours now and i have to say: by far best bass plugin will sell modobass but presicion by impact soundworks also is great but this one is simply perfect and i am corious what expansions they release in the future

I program Bass. What I'd like to see is some one who plays key bass Playthe EZ BASS. It sounds good but can I use the sustain pedal to get the rock sustain? Or, Must play it and then lengthen the notes to give the sustain effect. Are the plucks and slaps velocity sensitive like Trillians or is the articulation on a nother key? I like the sound but it seems like it's for people who don't play or program Bass. I play key synth and Electric Bass synth and I'm really trying to get a sense of the work flow.

Thank you for the great video. Looks like an awesome plug-in. But do you think there will be ad-packs available like EZDrummer? More different sounding bass guitars and I'm definitely missing an upright bass with percussive tweaking for jazz and rockabilly. And bass amps to choose from? Right now the choice for this really only is Ample Sound Upright Bass. And it's not cheap coming at 150 euro's for just the upright. If you'd want the p-bass or acoustic bass, it's another 150 euro. Logic Pro X has some okay sounding upright basses. Combined with BiasFX for amps and effects. Upright bass (especially for jazz and percussive rockabilly bass) is overlooked in the world of virtual instruments.

Thanks for the video! Just ordered. More stuff to mess around with and get sidetracked lol. Can the drag and drop work both ways? Bass line into ezdrummer? Or into ez keys too

Hi. Nice vid. When you drag/drop midi in from EZ keys or EZ drums and in creates a compatible bass part, can you hear the bass part it suggests along with the midi file you drag in from EZ keys or EZ drums? So, can you hear the suggested riff in context? For example you only demo’d what EZ bass came up with, without hearing the EZ keys or EZ drums part along with it. Thanks.

Gamechanger.

My wallet was really hopeful that you would say it sucks so I didn't have to get the software ... LOL good review thumbs up!

Now all we need is EZGuitars or EZGuitarist 🔥

Its nice bass with adrictive drumer make so easy song a play good piano but hard to find some band to play drum end bass.Its so nice..

Hey Mike can u record the tones thay come from ez bass, while playing, straight into the daw like in ez drummer 2 or superior drummer?

Hi Mike. A great indepth review. Thank you. Astonishing VST instrument indeed. I'm not firm with Toontrack. Will there be a superior Bass too? Is this a dongle free software? I'm total amazed by the sound...

Wonderful product as TT usually delivers, and I'm excited for possible midi bass packs, but... it is beyond me why the bass is orientated the way it is. Not only is there no benefit, it's counterproductive to people like me who write on a real bass and then need to look at the fretboard to see if the notes are on the correct frets. Every single high-end digital guitar software has it orientated the way people play and the way tabs are written. And this must be extra difficult for lefties I imagine :D Deal breaker for me, guess I'm finally buying Shreddage Abyss. Thanks for the walkthrough, Mike!

It's my intention to buy this software to make my bass playing sounds better. So record trough my interface and use it as an plugin afterwards to create a great sound and do fix some mistakes in the midi file. Is that a good investment you think?

Thanks for a great review. Can you drag any drum or keyboard midi part into it or does it have to be from EZkeys/EZdrummer?

Is it possible to export a bass track from EZ Bass to midi so I could use third party libraries for different bass sounds?

16:11 "I am pretty sure you will know this" Not unless your'e Vanilla Ice

So far only my stand alone is working. ,My Sonar is not recognizing the dll so I can’t use it as a plug in?? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your review, however the audio tracker function don't work when i play a bassline on my telecaster into the program. Very strange.

Great job ， I will sell my bass

Good job with the ezbass. I do have one question though. If I play a a song on my DAW how does ezbass follow something not midi or can it?

how does it to you compare to Trillian , thanks

Quick question, Mike. Can you do EZBass as standalone program and create (export) wav files to import to a standalone DAW (specifically an AW2816 Yamaha) via CD-R? EZDrummer and EZKeys both have that feature. I've been told that EZBass cannot do that. Is that true?

Just all az series need more and more presets about riffs,drives,etc

The convert-audio-to-midi nailed the rhythm and notes, but not the articulation (i.e., the notes were too long, not damped or chopped as in the original). However, I believe that a few minor tweaks of the note lengths are easy to do within EZBass, and you'd have a much more similar conversion.

When is fields of rock demo?

It's a pity there is still no demo version?

Is this program overkill to just use as bass tracks to drum along to in real time? Probably but I’ll buy it anyway! Also with all the features it’s closer to Superior Bass than EZBass. Great review.

can it do hammer ons and pull offs so that you're not picking every note?

Waiting for Superior Bass 😬

What about singing? could be nice to hear it in a tune. From Logic pro x :-)

What is the lowest open string note? Awesome review like always

So, for the guitar audio-to-MIDI, it says "monophonic," so I assume that means one could theoretically record a bass part ON a guitar instead, then convert that to MIDI and drop it into a bass guitar register and go from there? If so, that's just insane : D

BTW - Your song reminds me of Neil Young's "Speakin' Out"
