Hey guys,
Longtime Toontrack fan, love EZMix, EZDrummer and EZKeys.
That said, I cannot get EZBass to play back very basic MIDI tracks.
I’ve always been able to import MIDI key and drum tabs from GP straight into Reaper and then play them back using EZKeys and EZDrummer (one of the reasons I love Toontrack stuff) and I’m at a loss to why EZBass doesn’t do it.
I’ve also tried importing the MIDI tab into EZBass itself first, and get the same results.
I’m not sure if it’s the note mapping being very different in EZBass, or if there’s a configuration thing I’ve missed.
Any help would be appreciated!
Reaper, Windows 10, 16gb quad core system.
Cheers.
Hey TheRebus,
EZbass handles tracking string instruments pretty well, but keeping unwanted noise to a minimum is important for good tracking. Practice makes perfect, but getting the best out of the tracker includes three things:
1) Keeping notes separate (easily identifiable transients),
2) Only one at a time (i.e. monophonic sounds – better to add harmony later),
3) As clean signal as possible without effects or distorion (less noise means less risk of not being able to determine pitch).
You can make the best of any situation, but singling out a melody from a mix will give you notes jumping around a lot and force you to spend more time in the tracker. There have been a few videos on Youtube on audio tracking, if you feel uncertain what to aim for there’s already support available from other users’ experiences!
The Guitar Pro MIDI stuff has to do with how Guitar Pro exports MIDI. Read more here: https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/midi-import/?view=all#post-2579010

Thanks Erik, the octave Guitar Pro fix works great. Now just to get better at tracking…
I’m not sure wether it’s how guitar pro exports midi tracks or how EZBass handles them. Logics software bassplayer has no problems. If I program a simple quarternote bass pulse, EZBass can’t detect it. And I found the problem. EZB can’t play a new note if the former ends exactly where the new one starts, there has to be a small gap. Sure you’ll have to fix this…
