[@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.

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.

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.

[@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

Ah this is a good tip I missed ! Thanks !

[@billbradleymusic]

It's an assumption that he's probably using a plug-in amp.

[@SlyghtMusic]

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

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!

[@themorrigan1312]

6:36 "if this doesn't trip it up, then nothing will." I wonder what Dean Lamb has to say about that?

[@kenlen8029]

I haven't recorded anything in years and had no idea things had come this far. Truly mind blowing.

[@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

[@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

[@Bking7string]

Didn't know it had this tracking to midi capability. I'm sold on it now, thanks for the info🤘🏻

That is pretty damn sick I must say. Was expecting something to fall over, but they really did a good job with this one.

[@sqlb3rn]

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

[@trevormccabe585]

it did just come out like a little while ago

[@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.

[@stratjacket]

I picked up EXBass a couple weeks ago and haven’t had time to play with it much yet. World of possibilities

[@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.

[@Bflatest]

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

[@davidwilliams5850]

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.

[@seventhsealhere]

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! 👍

[@theq937]

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

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

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

[@emmanuelpaige8898]

What am I missing? I can't get EZ bass to translate my notes remotely close to this.

[@adamstrachn]

I bought it when it came out and I could never get it to track correctly. Even if I recorded it and imported the file into EZBass. Toontrack had no answers. Maybe they do now, but it was a big waste of money for me.

[@rudygibson3527]

Do you use dry signal?

[@tecnica-de-voz]

I just purchased this plugin. Is very messy, still trying to figure it out. I also can't find the threshold knob.

[@NoorhakimMohamedNoor]

Your expression tells that the feeling is absolutely amazing.

[@OttomanBeats]

Fl studio has a thing called edison, when you do convert to piano roll, it does the same thing

[@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.

[@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

[@edwinmasias6903]

Why is no one saying that you can’t do drop tuning on this.. you have to get the metal expansion packs if you want specific drop tunings ie. Drop c

[@brandonproctor3639]

It's confirmed.. I've definitely gotta have this! I love EZdrummer so this would be an awesome add-on within my DAW.

[@HarryAdee]

Basically It's picking up the root note and write it in midi notes. Could it generate a bass line just by playing the whole tracks?

[@dominofff]

well, I'm using ezbass for a while now but I can't work it out. It is always of the grid and sounds artificial. I'm playing simple guitar riffs and it never gets it. I wonder If I will use a bass guitar and use it as a source. Will that be better?

[@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!

[@NelsLindahl]

This was a really solid video... thank you!

[@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?

[@sofarsogod]

Great video pal, thanks.

[@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.

[@ThomsenTower]

Gear Gods Thanks for clarifying!

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

[@sparklerdynamo9187]

Hi, I would ike to now how you got EZbass to track so well but it sure as hell does not do that for me. Even the simplest of simplest riffs do not track well.

[@audiomixing7582]

this is incredible. would be even cooler if it could detect the velocity of the notes for more humaization

[@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

[@LukeWatts85]

What about soft finger style arpeggio stuff. I'm writing a song like that right now and I just cannot come up with a good bass line for it. Because its in C over E and C over G I cant find the right balance of the actual bass note and the actual root of the chord being arpeggiated. I'm a terrible bassist

[@kaipeteruwe]

Great Video!

[@nerdsforcardgames]

Even though this video is a year old I’d still like to comment. As some one who is a terrible bass player that plays punk rock, this would save me sooooooo much time. Dig it. I’m gonna have to buy it now.

(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 !!!!
