@@SongwritersLounge i use a tobias with active pups for the heavier stuff, and a fender t-bucket acoustic for the more folksy stuff i make. all done through a super cheap epi practice amp, but i'm thinking of getting a new interface since my old one blew up so i can do some DI stuff
Played with it the whole evening yesterday. This thing is crazy good. Cool job Toontrack. So glad with it. I passed all the other bass software from Waves, Cubase and whatnot and it was definitely the right decision for me :)
Awesome man! Post some stuff in our Facebook group when you have put it in a track. Would genuinely love to hear it. facebook.com/groups/195720818308436/?ref=bookmarks
I am not real shore if this is the "replace your bassist" vst but, I can see it being a real production tool. The first thing I don't like about it is the price, half the price and I "Might" consider it worth it. Just saying, it's not going to be the same as plugging in my bass and recording a great take. Now it's MIDI features such as audio to midi, follow MIDI chords, would be useful to enhance tracks in production and mixing but, I can already do this in my DAW. So this is a lot of money for a BASS sample library.
I get you, man! Completely see where you're coming from. I think this is a great piece of software for if you dont have a bass, or you have a bass that doesnt record well. Other than that, you cant beat the real thing. Getting better at bass and writing bass parts is top my "things to improve on" list.
Having bought it, considering what tou get, this is a bargain (and I actually own a real base, but i never suceeding getting the right metal tone). Buy it now, they will likely increase price in the future.
I use EZ Drummer, EZ Keys and EZ Mix. I was dissappointed because its nos EZ at all. I cant export Wav files and the MIDI doesnt even sound like a bass. Any help?
@@SongwritersLounge me too. I don't think it's too expensive. It's a complete sequencer workstation with unique features. The analyze audio feature alone is worth it. I guess they will come up with new sample libraries some day?
@@nichttuntun3364 For sure, man! I think their plans are to expand the series like they have with EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer where you can now get add on packs and samples. For the first version of it I think its great!
I gotta agree. I am slightly disappointed with the software. I thought it was going to speed up the writing process much more but it still a challenge to use this software as far as the flow .
@@TheShyArmyTV I have been using i it for a few days now making a metall song. I have to admit I was initially pretty disapointed realizing its its not a perfect interface, and there is considerable labor involved (e. g. with the Midi tracking). Still, for me its a complete game changer and I am absolutely thrilled. It sounds tight and real, and for the first time in my case, true metal (and still only the raw mix) . With experince work flow develop and as do speed. Thats my experience up to now. In the end, it sounds so good I guess I will never use anything other again (for amatour home recording, in my case).
Hmm I don't know hearing the aalternating doubling of the base line Just sounds to robotic imo ..the round robin efeect seems a bit un authentic But I could be wrong in this example
I get that, man! Once you play around with it and spend longer creating your bass line, it sounds REALLY good. This video is all about giving a quick example of what you can do.
I'd love to record my own drums... just need a bigger space and mics. Hopefully in the next couple of years for me. As for bass, I dont have a good bass, so this software is perfect for me 🤙🤙
That slide sound sounds really artificial and just plain bad, honestly. I think i'll just stick with the Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass library for kontakt.
Well, he uses very quick slides over a short amount of time. If you program EZbass in a more realistic/musical way, it sounds very good. Any sampler can be programmed to sound more or less realistic. In this video we've got some good examples of how efficient it is to work with EZbass, and I think that is the point of the video.
You can program it more fine tuned and it's getting lost in a good mix anyways. I wouldn't use it on a single bass part. Don't forgot, people often use just a synth bass with more or less no articulation. This is a great step forward. You can't compare contract with this. This is a complete sequencer workstation with incredible features. And it's version 1.0 :) It's amazing for what it is and what it does and how it sounds.
It gets REALLY good if you spend the time to tinker around with it! I have really gotten into the weeds with it the last couple of days and you can make it sound SO good when you spend the time on it.
Hey friends, How do YOU record your Bass? Do you use any plugins? Maybe even EZ Bass?
I record it midi . I don’t have a bass. I use the built in plug in on Logic Pro 9 called, session bass.
i use my bass mic'd through an awful guitar practice amp but it does the job lol, i must try this plugin out!
@@benredmond3 Nice man, what bass and amp are you using?
Would love to hear some examples.
@@TheShyArmyTV Awesome. Does it sound good in the mix?
I learnt on Logic and still love it. Havent used it in a while though.

I love it so far, and haven't even scratched the surface with what it can do.
ty. Just bought it. stoked to flesh out songs faster in demoing stage
Awesome man!

thanks I learn something new to day ....kool
Ooh I will check it out, thanks!
Great review. Short and concise. I might just have to substitute Modo for this one.
Thanks, Peter! I appreciate your kind words.
finger style pick but no slap for 179? kind of pushing it the should be giving everything for that price

I found the midi really sounds like a real bass the more I played with it.
Learn how to play the bass guitar.
Songwriters Lounge I agree with you in that part. It’s why I bought it .
I find it a bit expensive. How does it compare to euro bass 2? It costs even less that half of EZ bass..
I have never actually used euro bass 2, is it any good?
I am still learning all the EZ Bass can do and I'm super impressed so far 😄

@@SongwritersLounge a double bass would be great :)
@@nichttuntun3364 ooooh! Double Bass with some fun Jazz groove options would be incredible.
Great shout, man!
I wish there was deep and critical review on this software. The tracking midi isnt particular good for e.g. metal.
I gotta agree. I am slightly disappointed with the software. I thought it was going to speed up the writing process much more but it still a challenge to use this software as far as the flow .

Can i make my own bassline here without an actual bass?
Yes you can! It is a great piece of sotware!
@@SongwritersLounge thanks :)

I will play my own bass, guitar, drums and keys it may suck to some but its me : )

As an older aspiring songwriter, I don’t have time to learn any new instruments. I play both guitar and keys, this and Sd3 fill in the rest of band.
