I’m 3:30 min in and I’m loving your video. There might be other videos, but it’s the first one I find with actually good sounding basses, shown by an actually good musician 😄
Good review, especially on synth basses, but and I'm saying it as a bass player, the 2 candidates for good electric basses are - PrimeBass (NI), and EZBass (toontrack) (which wins IMO), the sampling of EZ is real without cleaning. you can hear some noises between samples sometimes, which makes it much more realistic, all the electric basses you played, sounded sampled from miles (both compression, and noises are not realistic), and HO/PO works as you expect (most of the time), and I didn't even get to articulations (in EZ - I just got the prime yesterday with Komplete 14, and didn't have time to play with it yet).
Hey! When I worked for Waves I was the lead developer for Bass Fingers/Bass Slapper (along with bass player Or Lubianiker) That was a fantastic review, and your playing is beautiful. I was so happy to see someone playing the instruments we worked so hard for in such a sensitive and musical way. Thank you for that! :) P.S. you can get the hammer-on you were looking for in both Bass Slapper and Bass Fingers by messing with the legato settings on the top right. There is a "Force Legato" menu option that would get the articulation you're after, IIRC. auto-sub, and looking forward to the next videos.
Waves bass fingers sounds good for the price but it doesnt work well with ableton live. Atleast for me it fucked up my ableton and it just started crashing all the time.
@@CandyPaintProductions Oh man, that sucks to hear, sorry about that! It's been a few years since I worked for Waves but I do still use the latest version they released (V14) on my Ableton Live. Maybe it's better to figure it out with their support if there's some update you may need?
Hey Buddy, I definitely agree with you on Modo Bass and Trilian being 1 and 2, but worthy of a mention are also. Novation Bass Station, Sugarbytes Cyclop and Rob Papen's Sub Boom Bass 2
Bro. I been waiting for you to do a video on Trillian specifically. Thanks for the snippet at the end.... I know it's a great vst and I bought it a few months ago. But it's a little complex if you don't know how to play.... so shot out to Melodics for the practice and you for the inspiration!!!
Bruno Mars used the Trilian bass plugin for songs like 24K and Finesse. I owned Trilian from Spectrasonics for years and still use it. It has hundreds of sound options and configurations. It is truly the best. It's expensive but it will make your DAW music projects sound professional 👌.
Thanks for the info .. Which VST's Library are you using for rhythm programming , all ur drums n rhythm sounds in this video sounds really good , and what platform do use to programme
It will be great to have a video where you could explain bass arrangements like how to get that perfect gliss (eg, is it chromatic or scale based), layering bass, using bass for different styles like retrowave, pop, dubstep etc. It will be a great help for sure as the way you do it is very special.. Thank you. ♥
Great video again. You are such a great keyboard player. I bought Trillian and Keyscape as a bundle last weekend and had it delivered today. Unfortunately they made a mistake and delivered Stylus RMX instead of Trillian. So now I'll have to send it back and wait a little longer instead. Ah well, I'll have to wait anyway since I don't have my Macbook Pro M1 Max yet. I'm gonna have so much fun when I have my new laptop finally with everything installed. Maybe a video on how you organize things on your computer would be nice. Do you have lots of folders with a lot of plugins or do you just install the bare minimum that you need? How do you save your projects (name wise and do you also always do save+collect)? What is your backup strategy? Do you always work in your studio or also on the road while traveling? Do you have a specific workflow? Templates you use? etc. Just curious.
I just got the new Komplete 14, they have a new one BassPrime, which is on a different league (EZBass league), BTW I don't really like the other NI basses, as a bass player I always find it easier to record a bass line, than making NI basses sound real (the samples are toooooooooooooooooooo clean and lifeless, no bass player sounds, or even wants to sound like that)), but in EZ, it's almost mix-ready as you finish recording the line.
Great one here brother. Trillian will definitely be hardly dethroned as number one. I have Modo bass though but haven't really explored it much. However, have you tried Ilya Efimov Modern Bass? It's a Kontakt Library I find extremely natural and realistic. My go to bass are easily 1. Spectrasonics Trillian 2. Ilya Efimov Modern Bass 3. Scarbee Rickenbacker 4. Toontracks EZ bass 5. Ample bass. Thanks for your awesome review as always.
really useful with Black Friday coming up :) . Modo Bass sounds great, I wonder if you can midi control finger position to randomise it a bit or slap certain notes a bit harder. Trillian still sounds great too but less bass guitar oriented
I love what you do here. Thank you for the great breakdown of the basses here. I've used or own a few of them and just learned some new things about the Modo Bass I didn't know. Great coverage there.
Ample Sound just released an update in December for their guitar plugins that really improved the modulation and pitch bend. Not sure if it's updated for their basses yet.
It looks like the hammer-on issue is because it's switching strings for the F and the G. I have never used Bass slapper before but I'm sure there must be a way to fix that so it plays both notes on the same string
@@SweetScaleTV For a Bass player\or Guitarist an open string is a different articulation, so it's not a small issue. James Jamason (and most bassists who started on upright), used open strings whenever possible, you will never get his parts right if you don't know that (because there are many cases in which it doesn't make sense, or at least most bassists will NOT use open string voicing in those cases) .
What do you think the best one is going to be for some metal bass? Ive already got some virtual distortion/overdrive pedals to use, just need the bass itself
Bro DO YOU Teach?? Piano?? Bass?? Music Production?? Beat Making?? I would Love to be your Student!! NO CAPP!! && EXTREMELY SERIOUS!! & I PAY!!💪🏿🎯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Seeing the Black Panther poster in the background makes me extremely sad. That man had an incredible career ahead of him on top of what he had already achieved.
Love that you show much respect for the classic bass lines of ALL genres. Well don, sir.
2 years have passed and this video is still hittin! 🔥🔥🔥
My bro NEVER EVER MISSES!!!🔥🔥🔥 Cedric you killed them basslines!!
Haha this was fun! I appreciate you bro👊🏾
Came to hear VST sounds but stayed for your playing! And thanks for sharing about your musical growth!
Thank you. You gave me the chills when you play in those baselines.
Thanks for the introduction bro. There was a bass plugin I was looking for and I found it here. Take care bro, I'm following you. 🔥🔥🔥
I was expecting the EZBass on this list! Nice video, Bro...
As always, you inspire me to become a better player as producer!
It's a dope plugin too!
I’m 3:30 min in and I’m loving your video. There might be other videos, but it’s the first one I find with actually good sounding basses, shown by an actually good musician 😄
Mind-blown how these bass lines are created on the keyboard👏🔥
Aye thanks cuz!🤗
@@SweetScaleTVI think he was referring to the plugins
@@JohnJohnCrusher"he"?🤔
Sounds so good what you're playing. Would love to have a room like yours. Thanks for the video, it was exactly what I was looking for.
*Slappin the bass mon!*
Some really dope VST's in this video & as always I was super impressed with your playing; an absolute beast on those keys!
Thanks big homie 👊🏾
This is good information. I'm always looking for good plugins, and you are on to something here. Enjoying your stuff. Please keep it coming.

I will soon AK!!
Frfr!!💪🏿🎯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@SweetScaleTVdid you make one?

Bruuuh still waiting on that video❤
appreciate your consideration of bass across multiple music genres - very helpful - so musical ...We The North!

That intro music is awesome bro...
Very nice video bro, thanks My favourite is Trilian
Thanks for the info ..
Which VST's Library are you using for rhythm programming , all ur drums n rhythm sounds in this video sounds really good , and what platform do use to programme
loved the demonstrations!, thanks for the awesome video.
Great content, very helpful
Great demo man! Bassalicious reminds me of church for sure! I would use the Korg Triton vst with that one too.

I’m wondering the same thing? He make’s it look so easy.
@@cisco9027 yes!
@@SweetScaleTV thank you
Hi, it's been a year since you commented this. If he has made a video like that, could you send the link pls?
Dopeness!!! There were was some plugins I never heard of!!! Only thing is if I can say the MM bass you said from NI is Marcus Miller bass!!!
Ok dope!!
Hey men please how can i get the sound you played on 0:13, i have been searching for it bro, please i want to download the sound 🙏🙏🙏

YOUR GROOVE IS CRAZY BRO :)
Nice vid!!!! Trillian, Native Instruments and Modo Bass❤️🤍🤍🔥🤯

Thanks for the demos man really helpful, I appreciate your introduction to some of the finest bass VSTs. Sounds great!
I see new gear on your desk… do you have a video on the evolution of your studio and what gear is most useful? I’d love your perspective 😀
Dope!!!!!! This was fire!!!!
Great review Ced! Love the way you love the bass. I rocks with them basses from Native Instruments. Keep inspiring fam!
Appreciate it JT!! Yea the basses from NI are flames!!🔥

Lol I could just watch this guy jam on his keyboard all day. Great video
Killin' it as usual!
Thank you my bro!👊🏾
Great video cuz!! Thanks.
I love horns, brass, woodwinds, and real strings. Please give me some good plugin products to try out.
He playing tf outta that bass Good Lord

Great video cuz!! Tx
Substance would be dope on Amapiano🇿🇦 5:44
Anyone here use Trillian Bass. That looked just incredible. I'm curious how the acoustic basses sound? Thanks for any input. Great reviews. Thanks.
They sound great!
bassalicious ....... FIRE
This guy's melodies are ridiculous 🔥
So little said about the Scarbee basses - was hoping to hear more about them and how they compare.
really useful with Black Friday coming up :) . Modo Bass sounds great, I wonder if you can midi control finger position to randomise it a bit or slap certain notes a bit harder. Trillian still sounds great too but less bass guitar oriented
that bassalicious sounds fire
Beautiful studio broh
4:07 literally thought of Michael McDonald’s “I keep forgetting”
Thankyou for the references 😍🔥
I love what you do here. Thank you for the great breakdown of the basses here. I've used or own a few of them and just learned some new things about the Modo Bass I didn't know. Great coverage there.
Dope vid!
Trillian is still King, but Modo Bass comes in as a close second because it sounds phenomenal and the footprint is so small.
I love modo bass even more just too clean👌
The music inspires me
Lots of good bass plugins. Even Ujam makes useful plugins. Playing around with VB Royal.
Bro I gotta get modo bass since I can’t get trilian yet!! Thanks for the info it’s always awesome!!
Yea modo bass is fire 🔥 so is trillian!
🔥🔥 this is Super dope..❤️
👊🏾🙏🏾
Great video ! I wonder what plugins you use for the drums loops in it ? especially the first ones ;)
Keep hustlin!!! 💯
Awesome as always. Hope you're doing well.
Also, I have that exact bass except 5 string. Really like it.
yea its dope!!!
Ottimo video, pieno di contenuti utili. Grandioso, grazie mille!
Cedric! Why no EZ Bass by Toontrack? You're missing the Best Bass VST! Great Video though! Thanks for sharing your Wisdom Sir!!!
You’re right I should have added EZ!
Great contents appreciated 👏👏👏👏
Much Appreciated J! 👊🏾
Oh yeah bro!
my bro! 🙏🏾
I love it when you start jamming with a drum beat. I'm gonna do that now often, as it can inspire new songs. And it's just fun. Thanks, man
that first bassline made me sub but also you play too good for me to know how any of this shit would sound if EYE used it lmaoooo
I downloaded bass fingers from waves. I love it, but having issues exporting the base stems from my MPC into a folder with the tracks.
Thank you for the vid!
That bass fingers is 🔥🔥🔥 but you play really nice dude.
Thank bro .......u r amazing 👏
Very helpful, thanks!
Sweet bass
Do one for the drums!! We need to know how you get those beats!
Ample Sound just released an update in December for their guitar plugins that really improved the modulation and pitch bend. Not sure if it's updated for their basses yet.
O word!? ok yea maybe that would help!
What! That's Dope I gotta go check it out
The Raw samples sounds very Authentic and pure by them selves.
Shame ample is not here
Thank You.
It looks like the hammer-on issue is because it's switching strings for the F and the G. I have never used Bass slapper before but I'm sure there must be a way to fix that so it plays both notes on the same string
yea i noticed that too! maybe there is a way to change! Either way it still sounds dope! Thanks J! 🙏🏾
@@SweetScaleTV Yup. I really wanted Bass Slapper when it just came out but then I got EZ bass and the rest is history. Now that's a dope bass plugin!!

I'm new to a lot of this. Are you able to play a real bass guitar and use this program? Or does it have to be on a keyboard?
Seeing the Black Panther poster in the background makes me extremely sad. That man had an incredible career ahead of him on top of what he had already achieved.
Thanks man
Very cool man thanks
🙏🏾
Hey Bro I just purchased Trillian. But it only plays one sound when I used it in Ableton 10. Would like your help bro.
Ample bass plugin is free but if you bounce it, the first part is cut out. So you can’t use it for music production purposes. You need to buy it.
Waiting for best drum vst😍
You can fake a hammer on with the pitch bend in a pinch. Did it for years before key/velocity switch and the like became more normalized.
yes that's a GREAT point!
Can you do it for autocad also pleaseee :)
