    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…
