@nemogre well i have downloaded a copy of virtual guitarist and virtual bassist and couldn't figure out how to make my own stuff. i also haven't found any video or tutorial on how to do this which leads me to believe that you can't. i really hope someone can prove me wrong though...
what's up with people making out this is a robot like its easier then playing a bass guitar? it don't play the music for you lol... I can assure you that playing a bass guitar is much easier then making music on a DAW with this bassist VSTI
look bass is a nerdy instrument, im a bassist myself and even though id class myself as quite good i still think its nerdy but its still a shit load cooler than a computer so a computer bassist is for the people with no lives at all im guesing?
@BountyHunter233 Do you have any idea what goes into music production? You can be the best bassist ever, but you're still just one part of a song. And while your musician friends can add on to what you play, you're still not the sole creator of that song. Producers create entire songs on their own, whether it be through sampling or composition with a program such as this one, and that's a much more valuable skill than being good at one specific instrument. Nice try but you ain't no troll :)
@Autistikike i understand why its useful i like it but, i wouldnt go out and buy one yes music production, i work in a music shop the owner also runs a record label and he is into all this expencive computerised technolagy ... i just prefer having a grungy room with equiptment nessacery and skill nessecery
to play along with a band, the people recording the work with there fancy on going latest equiptment can worry about all the tiny spec details
Kontakt 4 (non official). I re-arranged Sunday Recovery's song "Coma", a progressive rock song in style of Muse, Radiohead and Porcupine Tree, only with Cubase 5 and Kontakt 4 Library. The result is very realistic. In the video I tell the Set and Sounds I used.
sucks, really, people dont want to click... snares and make a loop of it and shit, people want to play the acual instrument, and yes its possible to make that virtual, to use the controls of for example guitar hero for pc, then its a bit more humanlike, but stuff like this sucks.
What I like best about YouTube is how somebody gets a cussin or called a bunch of names just because they make a comment or have a question about something.
just started using cubase after using reason for a couple of years, ordered this the other day so it should be here soon, and to be honest i cant wait to get my little mits on it...looks awesome! hope it doesnt dissapoint! thanks for the demo vid!!
I have a problem with this program in Cubase. When I make a midi track with the notes in it, and use Virtual Bassist as a VST, it is playing loops, instead of the individual note. Does anyone know how to fix this?
first of all, click single note mode in "parts" ,now that mode is limited to a range of keys, so if you go beyond that range it will start playing patterns, annoying as hell and the only way i've found I can stop it is by clicking single note again. Once you learn the range you'll know how to avoid triggering the patterns.
If you need notes outside the octave range, just render out your track then do a quick edit in, say, Melodyne. I do this all the time. It works great. Peace!
Programs like Cubase, Sonar, Pro Tools, etc., are DAWs or "Digital Audio Workstations". EZDrummer and Virtual Bassist are VSTi plugins that work with almost every DAW. You have to have a DAW before you can use these plugins because they are ran from within said DAWs.
@mynameisthad000 Au contraire my friend. some of these VSTis have stand alone versions where you don't need a DAW, you will prolly get more out o fit if you were to have a midi controller to use with the stand alone version. but you can use your keyboard or mouse to get sounds from it.
how about just getting a good sample library and emulators, you can actually get as good sound as this and even do shit of your own. oh well i guess someone has use for a one handed bassist.
"Hey can anyone tell me is this just an application that you can use with a midi keyboard or can you actually plug a real bass guitar into an audio interface and take advantage of the sounds in virtual bassist? "
I read that you cannot use the samples as a standalone. Pretty useless then eh?

These software marvels are after all just tools. A musician will use whatever tools they can to produce music. It doesn't matter how automatic or preset they are you still have to have musical ability to produce a quality product.
Absolutely! Also never forget: nowadays people want to hear mockups first before they pay for real instruments - in studio productions including music for film, tv shows and commercials. So virtual instruments are great to build up a tune and mockup in excellent quality - provided that the composer has the knowledge. If one just slaps together pre-made patterns, it will be hard responding to a client's wishes. Knowledge of music and talent are still the most important tools of all.
@xraytube111 This is the most intelligent comment I have read on youtube. What will take for people to understand this? These tools get might get abused in mainstream music but that doesn't mean others can't use them. Besides, robots can play instruments but they will never write songs. People need to evolve and stop fearing the mix of technology and music.
Music is always evolving and tools such as this just assist in that evolution. These tools open up an avenues for those people that haven't learnt to play a physical instrument which I think is fantastic. At the end of the day the finished product will show their musical ability be it bad or brilliant.
you fucking mumbling idiots... music is in the ear of the beholder ,so if someone thinks any sort of noise is music, then it is music! and is not about using presets but about pushing software to the limits, and also feeling can be programed it is called real time recording dumb asses like i said before alot of the music you are already listening to, is played by the real instrument it is being played by machines programed by us ,producers. welcome to the future....
i feel sorry for guys like sabian, that are being left behind and becoming obsolete as technology progresses. for your information a lot of the music you are listening to out there right now, is being produced one hundred percent on software and you don`t even notice
sorry guy! drummers became obsolete long time ago,it`s the bassist turn..and guitarist you better behave...jajaja
no not at all haha. Im guessing your not a musician then cause real players will never be obsolete can a machine play with feeling? no. Musicians now a days are pushing the limits of what their instrument can do, a real musician will never be replaced.
Only real musician can make GOOD music , not just any kid who just sat on the computer and start pressing buttons thinking that he is making music,maybe you call it music but that kid doesn't know what is music(you cant be a chemsit just because you mixed spice and salt in you diner saying you made an experiment).
This is when you limit your mind. The music is not about the instrument itself. A bass drum by itself produces what? Nothing. You put a crappy baffoon who has no ear for music on it and what does it produce? Noise. You put someone musically inclined, with a drive and raw talent on it...what can you create? The possibilities are endless. And presets are only presets. That's why one can tweak the presets and or just tweak the default setting and make beautiful music.
not using presets = LIMITING my mind? that seems a little off to me.
i totally agree with you on one thing, though. the music isn't about the instrument. the instrument is just a tool to share your feelings and expressions with others. but if all you're sharing is something some studio bassist you don't even know recorded onto this thing to sample, then you aren't even sharing your own ideas.
what you might get out of this is beautiful music, but you didn't really make it.
You misunderstand me. I'm not referring to the presets as limiting your mind. I'm referring to the way you're thinking as limiting your mind. Most presets are just tweaks to emulate a real instrument sound, or plays a particular piece. Some producers aren't sound engineers, they don't know how the sound works, i.e, how sound works with the parameters on the plugin until they experiment with it. It's a head start in a sense. Because presets are there dont mean u have to use em.
Really? Say, what hosts have you tried it on? I plan on using it with Steinberg's own Nuendo. But i'm also considering other options, so your commentary really caught my attention.
I have issues with anything but nuendo. With FL studio and cakewalk for some reason the midi interface only works half the time, i havent spent much time messing with it but tis really not worth it IMO
In the time between these comments i went and tried the demo. Didn't like it. At all. I mean, the sound is GREAT, no doubt about that, but it's a "Pick a pattern to jam along" kind of instrument, which is fine, but not what i'm looking for. I want a virtual bass for me to play with my midi keyboard, not a virtual bassist that plays along whatever notes it wants. I didn't figure it was like that till i messed around with it myself.
This friend of mine says that Cakewalk's bass from the "Studio Instruments" package is just what i need, but that its tone is mediocre. I still ought to try spectrasonic's "trilogy", though.
Pardon me, i got carried away in my own opinions that i kind of ended up overlooing yours. Problems with midi interface on other hosts, you say? So, it IS possible to play individual notes? When i pressed keys on my KB it triggered the currently selected groove. And i couldn't find any way out, so i figured that was it.

ya it looks all great on the outside but they forgot to mention one little fact
you can only play in ONE OCTAVE in solo mode.
so unless u plan on using just the loops it came with you can waste ur money on a bass vsti with only one octave.
its a shame, cuz it has such a good sound too.
