Can EZBass Keep Up With My Riffs? | GEAR GODS

EZBass' Tracker function can turn your guitar parts into basslines in seconds - but what if I play it some tech death? Watch as I feed it increasingly difficult guitar riffs to turn into basslines.

Soon we will have ez band and djent will just generate itself

[@erickmazur807]

The tracker alone is worth the price of this plug-in

[@monsterk7603]

I bought ez bass the day it was released. I completely agree. It's totally amazing. It's taken my shitty songs and elevated them to semi-listenable crap. Winning!

[@chilledbit]

I'm sure your songs are good. do you post them on your channel? I'd give it a listen^_^

[@monsterk7603]

Oh no. I wouldn't subject myself to that kind of ridicule. I get enough of that from my own brain. Lol. I really appreciate the kind words, man. It means a lot. I might could send you a song by private message, but I definitely don't want stuff getting out.

[@nordicomsystems8841]

I picked it up at release too, it's a blast. Since the lockdowns I've had much free time and having new software toys makes life suck just a little less!

[@bennybe1977]

I'm a bass player for almost 30 years and use it for demos, and sometimes record a bass line and play with articulations, figuring out fingering for complicated stuff, or just for playing with a pick (NOT ALLOWED :) ), or use P bass (which I don't have) sound.

Great video Trey! I forget how easy these plug ins! You Rock!

[@SubstituteMusician]

If you send dry signal in, it’ll be even more accurate. It can use most audio, but the distortion causes artifacts. It says this in the tips on input.

[@treyxaviermusic]

In these examples, EZBass was hearing the DI signal. I put the Audio Sender plugin before the EZMix instance so it was sending the dry guitar tone to EZBass but everyone else hears the processed guitar tone.

[@fufc1231]

@@treyxaviermusic would u please do a guide on how to send a di signal instead of the fully effected sound?

[@BatSoupGrind]

@@fufc1231 literally just record directly into an interface, and reamp the signal. look up reamping

Love your vids bro! A big hug from Venezuela. Keep on killing it!!

[@KyleBurnsMusic]

Bruh I was totally unaware of that feature. That is so sick. Huge time saver. Plus as someone who I do have a bass and can get away with most parts. Its also a 4 string and I use everything from Drop C# to drop E. To just be able to take my guitar and get results I can easily use for flush out ideas. Oml. Such a blessing

[@ToddHudsonAtl]

TX, I bought the whole suite after seeing your other vids on Toontrack and am thrilled. I can just play my cowboy chords and write complete songs. Thank you, thank you, thank you. These videos must take a ton of effort, but you clearly love your craft and I appreciate YOU very much.

[@johneldredge5431]

Great demo, Trey! I had no idea that EZ Bass could do so much-thank you for sharing your expertise to show us what EZ Bass can do! Great playing as well!

Been waiting a while for a video like this illustrating EZ bass audio tracker’s true capability. Why toontrack didn’t take this demo approach is beyond me. Awesome man! 👍

been chillin in my house, on the internet 12+ hours a day. first time I've ever heard of ez bass.

Awesome program dud. As someone wanting to learn the guitar and make music this shit looks legit. definitely would get this. Thank for sharing dude.

[@theq937]

I’ve been loving EZBass and that was before I even knew it could do this. Amazing!

[@NoorhakimMohamedNoor]

Your expression tells that the feeling is absolutely amazing.

[@herbertwest3083]

You could just play the parts at half speed just to track the bass since it’s midi and tempo doesn’t matter to the computer. After that you can use it as a guide track and track the guitars.

[@treyxaviermusic]

Actually that's a good idea, here I was trying to fool the program for funsies but if you were actually trying to make it more accurate, that way would work WAY better haha

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

That's a cool bass plugin. Have a good day

[@stringsofchaos5312]

I also can't even begin to imagine the day when they start adding Bass Midi packs, and different Bass Gtr simulations to this product.

[@bradbiggar6285]

Just got myself a copy of EZBass! Had the EZ Drummer 2 which helped me out. Being a guitarist...having these two plugins give me incredible control over the the sound. Plus I could never afford the cost of real players with the talent to lay down some of those riffs...LOL Great Reveiw

Great programme !

[@SlyHikari03]

I so badly want a program that jams along with you… Almost like session mode from rocksmith but not, and portable. Also, that techy riff was rad.

Absolutely incredible. I'm a huge fan of Toontrack products as well. They're def6at the top of the game right now 👍

[@arissp4950]

A good tool for guitar players that just want to write their demos without spending too much time recording everything and especially ezdrummer 3 bandmate really helped me. I was spending too much time tweaking the drums instead of actually playing guitar.

you could play a melody and then use the midi it gives you to trigger any number of synths and pianos

[@andrewpappas9311]

That funk groove sounded like it could’ve been an early Chili Peppers song and it was awesome, fucking loved it

[@zombieguitar]

Hey man I really dig the video. I was wondering what do you use to record the screen capture of your DAW? Do you use Voicemeeter? I also have a KZbin channel myself where I teach music theory for guitar, but I occasionally make DAW recording videos, and Voicemeeter audio never lines up with the video. Plus, I can never figure out how to get a recording of my playing live guitar into the DAW without causing a nasty feedback loop. I was just wondering how you effortlessly get all of this stuff onto video? I've been going nuts trying to figure this stuff out!! Thanks man!

[@drummaboi5879]

mind=blown soo happy drummers finally have sftware 2write w/, started out all drums N synths & we were still phucked left out w/ no way 2write guitar w/ out a physical player which is a pain in the ass if ya dnt have a guy or cant play

[@DocTheGuitar]

Awesome!

[@heartshinemusic]

Been waiting a long time for EZ bass. Doesn't disappoint. What is the next challenge for Toontrack? EZ singer? That would be so cool. Making someone sing melodies and written lyrics that you can tweak. There've been attempts already (choirs singing syllables) It's not impossible. Imagine singing a guide example and replacing it with a top vocalist (Maybe compiled from various top session singers and a tweakable timbre.)

[@Peroxitone]

Reading this comment in 2023, and I mean yeah, Toontrack didn’t do it but look what we have now with AI

[@heartshinemusic]

@@Peroxitone There's also SynthV (or Synthesizer V) with various synth/A.I. singers. That's making huge leaps right now, where you can program and tweak a voice like you'd do with a midi instrument. Soon, more of these (legal) software programs will occur where you don't infringe on the copyright of a singer.

[@MrBira24]

Amazing!!

[@MikaTarkela]

The audio tracker seems great! :o

[@RotterStudios]

awesome video dude! thanks! Are you limited to the bass sounds in EZ bass or can you use other bass tones? subbed. Waiting for them to come out with EZ SINGER! That's what we need!

[@michaelpal7641]

Ok Tune Track fanatic- Your delivery was perfect! Thank you. Only 2 things I'd like to ask you-When you use Audio Tracker to record your guitar-Are you recording it with the plugin enabled or is it the "dry" guitar without a plugin? After you finish recording into Audio Tracker-Which do I chose? All the articulations gives me additional notes and other stuff. I just want the bass line. Thanks. love your delivery-makes much more sense. Subscribed.

[@bak1386]

That tele sounds great man. Especially on that stanky funk riff! Pretty cool what software is capable of these days.

[@treyxaviermusic]

It's kind of wild that teles just sound awesome with minimal effort, I love mine so much. That was literally just through an EZMix preset, no tweaking or anything

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

Damn that’s a time saver!!

[@damientoth9133]

im sold buying it now. I hope they pay you good for this advertising

[@hbomb495]

Fresh banter fodder for Trey and Glenn 🥊 Hmmm, I wonder if Trey can do a random number generated song with EZ Bass like he does with EZ Drummer? 🤔

[@ThomsenTower]

Interesting and fun, thanks. I would heavily emphasize what someone else already said: inputting clean guitar signals vastly improves EZBASS detection. (Also, in case some watcher doesn’t know the instrument, I would point out that the detected notes can be converted into MIDI with one click, then easily fixed or changed within the grid editor.)

[@treyxaviermusic]

In these examples, EZBass was hearing the DI signal. I put the Audio Sender plugin before the EZMix instance so it was sending the dry guitar tone to EZBass but everyone else hears the processed guitar tone.

(in my opinion) the EZ line is NOT to, replace sounds or musicians. I just see it like a good songwriting tool. then record with real people :) In my experience drummers and bass players don't write so much songs ;) and now with corona I can send my ideas to my bass playing best friend in the world that I would never replace . great plugin !!!!

[@deeforty]

That's pretty impressive, I didn't realise you could do that.... This video alone has sold ez bass to me, I hope toontrack are paying you well.

[@dddocmusic]

Hi what happens to the wave file you recorded into ezbass. Does it sit on your drive you need to delete it.... plus this would be useful for creating string or synth parts you want to harmoniz or just double with a solo part instead of having to play on the keyboard...

[@marcoabyss]

[@EdenGoldstein]

How about palm muting, tremolo picking and other techniques?

[@edmadman5874]

This is awesome! Is EZBass also providing that bass sound/tone? If not, what plugin/vst are you using for the bass tone?

[@erickmazur807]

EZBass has some decent presets

[@treyxaviermusic]

Yes, EZBass is primarily a virtual instrument so all the sounds are coming from the plugin itself. There's a Modern bass and a Vintage bass included, so it's 2 entirely different libraries of samples.

[@erickmazur807]

The "Djently picked" preset is sick

[@dsrecords22]

[@kyledadams]

I feel like you really need a DI for this to work well. Not jiving at all with my Captor X since I don't have a DI signal from the guitar. If I try and upload old recorded riffs, fuhgeddaboudit. Its all over the place. Anybody have any tips for a traditional setup with no DI signal?
