I will be using this product for all sorts of tracks but the first one I wanted to try was a cover of Walk on the Wildside.
Dead easy right? Root and tenth starting on C. On the 4 beat, slide the C down to F (low part) and slide the E up to A (high part),… just as Herbie did on his two different basses. So far so good,… place the F and A in the next bar and then, at the 4 beat, slide down from a high C to E and up from F to C (low part) to repeat from the start. Great sound,… apart from the fact that halfway through the second slide “somebody steps on a canary”,… yes, there is a loud squawk (or two) shortly after the slide starts (digital artefacts or intermodulation products or maybe the midi just gets confused with too much going on at once).
I take it this is a Ghostbuster’s thing and I should not “cross the streams” i.e. can’t have two slides (one up and one down) happening at once?
I guess it will be easy enough to make two projects and mix them (in a different app) to get the twin bass effect but it was all going so well to start with that I thought I’d be able to make just the single project.
The single project also had the advantage that I could set the relative amplitudes of the the root and tenth in EZBass as it makes a huge difference to the resultant sound.
As you found out – EZbass doesn’t support two slides that crosses each other (one goes up, and the other goes down), and the easiest way to achieve it would be to have two instances of EZbass for this effect. You can then bounce it, to avoid having two instances running just for that part.

Thanks Henrik,
Confirms my theory. I’ll try the two instances method,… I’m sure that will work.
