    best thing about ez bass- audio to midi. that's why i use it)
    i record bass parts on my guitar, then with ez bass make em sound like bass (octave lower).
    as long as other plugins don't have audio to midi, i don't care how good they sound)

    I've been using Waves CLA Bass for a while now - but I'm using it for the enhanced sound I get while playing my Jazz straight in, I always feel like I'm cheating if I don't do the real thing "play real bass" (usually). I have a bunch of bass plugins but really do like the Waves one the best for the rich tones (even over Modo) - that said, I would not recommend anything Waves to anyone these days.

    I use Ample Sound ABU, and it sounds great. However, I find that there's not much information on how to use it, especially for the slides. As an example, an E on the second string (D) cannot be "slided" as well as when it's played from third string (A), and I did not find yet how to program this.

  • @ironmanbatman686
    @ironmanbatman686 5 місяців тому

    As usual, great video. I agree that Modo has to be the best, probably by far, and I was really wanting to buy it, but I had so many issues with the free version. First I thought it was my dinosaur 10 year old laptop. But after upgrading to a machine with at least three times the performance, I thought everything would be good to go. Unfortunately, I experienced the exact same issues....Random notes, several cents detune for no reason, and persistant , 'stuck' notes......sometimes requiring closing CW to releaase the note. After searching many, many forums, and the IK support I found that many others had encountered identical issues, and IK has not even bothered to address the issue, with nothing other than lame solutions, none of which worked. Have you ever encountered such issues, and if so, please share your solutions, as I would love to use it on my next production, as I was intending to, but instead opted for Bass Fingers, as it was cheap at the time.

      Many of their GUIs VSTs are resource hogs ... I have top tier system ... own most of the major software packages (e.g. Komplete, Toontrack, Spectrasonics, ... you name it) ... and IKM concepts are great ... but their customer service and loyalty for long time customers is beyond poor ... I have spent so much money on their hardware and software .... I REGRET I ever bought into their ecosystem .... thank goodness ... there are so many option now for musicians .... unfortunately ... I could never recommend IKM any longer ...

      I don’t contact IKM very much but I’ve found them helpful when I did. The Product Manager works fine and is simple to operate. You don’t need an Internet connection once you’ve installed the products. Just to contradict the other reply, I had the original MODO bass, did a trial of the new version and when I bought some MESA amps for Amplitube and the entry level Tonex, they also gave me MODO Bass 2 for free. They’ve done this before with other products. I have no idea why but was very grateful!

    For the price of a top bass plugin you can get an Harley Benton bass, eventually swap pickups, and play the parts.

      About the expensive bass sound, I'm very much free of the marketing hype. Nowadays an affordable instrument with a free amp plugin can deliver a very good tone! The bigger difference is always on the performance.

Do any of these have a function for that? 8th or 16th notes at 170bpm just doesnt sound right played live on the keyboard

      Any digital audio workstation (DAW) will allow you to do this. If you want an inexpensive but still very powerful option to get started, I'd take a look at Reaper. Or are you saying that you want a plug-in that works in standalone mode without needing a DAW?

      You can also use the ampeg svt suite plug in if you have a DI bass line recorded already. Feed it through whatever amp/cab combo you like and you can even change mics. But it’s just a modeler, no midi capability that I’m aware of.
