As a guitar player that switched to bass a few years ago, then back to guitar more recently, I can not emphasize enough, that bass and guitar are not the same instrument, despite the similarities. I made the mistake of thinking I could play both and quickly found out that it takes a certain approach and finesse to execute a great performance on a bass, no matter how well you know the song in your mind and on your guitar. This is such great info and software to have available. You the man for breaking all this down to us, Rob🤘🤘🤘
Amazing content as always mate. I’ve only just started down the DAW rabbit hole and it’s overwhelming the amount of knowledge required. This broke it down so well, your little tips like the MIDI volume are really appreciated. Years of learning in a 22 minute video!
Thanks for making this! If you have Ableton, and I'm pretty sure other DAWs also have this, another cool and quick way to do this is to play the root notes of your chords (basically your expected bass line) in a higher octave and then use the "Audio to MIDI" function to convert that recorded audio into a midi track. Afterwards you can just move your midi notes down an octave, maybe quantize if you want to, and you got your bass track more or less done :)
Awesome tip! A year or so ago, I tried this method with Toontrack's EZ Bass plugin, and it didn't work as expected. (It also has a "Audio to MIDI" function). The results were unusable unfortunately. Perhaps I'll try it in Ableton! Or Pro tools might actually have that feature now too... I'll have to take a look!
@@RobArnoldWorld yeah Abletons audio to midi function so far has worked the best for me and the higher octaves always gave me better results in detection. Hope you can get some good results on your next try :)
Audio to midi can also be achieved with the sonuus g2m. It's not perfect all the time but it helps speed things up and is a killer studio tool. Great video Rob! I'd love to see an in depth one on your workflow for programming drums. Cheers
This is awesome! Definitely useful stuff for guys like who are still taking the first steps into recording, very insightful as always! 🤘🏻 You're the man, Rob! 👊🏻
I really need to get my head round all this. ROB PLEASE will you check my Fade to Black acoustic cover it would mean so much! Legendary info as usual man thank you 🙏
Rob, if you have guitar notes that is slight sharp or decays slightly flat, do you go through the process of pitch shifting the bass VST to be spot on or do you generally leave it as is? Thanks!
One trick I learned early on, is that whether or not you're going to actually use midi bass while making an album, taking the extra step to do so creates a pitch-perfect guide for when it's time to track guitars. The midi pitch is always true, so whenever you hear a discrepancy, you know it must be from the guitars. Now every once and awhile, there is some special circumstance, where you do need to manipulate the midi pitch, like if a guitar is doing a dive bomb, or you want something to be intentionally out of tune, or for some special effect. And in that case yes, I will pitch shift the midi accordingly. Hope that info helps!🎸
Have you checked this video out Jake? th-cam.com/video/8jy_GIu-bsk/w-d-xo.html I also show more drum programming in a few other videos in my Song Writing, Recording Tutorials, & More playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLlBg61aZ3R9gcG2rHRZtkuwliUfpwIDZv.html
This looks like a manual audio to midi procedure 😅 …. Not bad , it does spark some ideas on how to teach AI to analyze audio to convert to midi based on a guitar track… 🤔🤓
When I program bass on ezbass, I use the grid and count intervals. Each line is a half step. So like if I’m programming a bass or keys line with an arpeggio I start on on the root and go up three lines (minor 3rd) and then up four more lines to the fifth. Same thing with chords, etc. So like instead of trying to figure every note out with a tuner, you went from the root up 3 steps, then up two more, etc. even faster than finding notes.
Hello rob, why you dont make a New band ? You have talent and you are humble! Im sure you Can find a great singer, start a new chapter ! Make something New ! You dont need to do music exactly like chimaira, just be yourself! I'm serious Sorry about my english, I'm french lol

How long do you think till you can upload some, say guitar track, and some AI outputs a bass track to it? Or drums, or any combination there of.
