I am using EZBass on an uptempo pop song where the bass part is essentially pedaling away on repeated 8th notes on every chord change. For example a series of 8th notes: CCCCCCCCFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGGCCCC, etc. Aside from the annoying fret buzz (just posted in reply to another forum topic) it seems like TT has some kind of algorithm working in the background so that the repeated notes do not sound so static and unnatural as they do with other bass VIs. This does add realism and depth to a MIDI bass part so nice there. The downside is that the different articulations that the algorithm cycles between noticeably change both the timbre and volume from note to note. Sometimes changing the volume of an individual repeated note as much as 1 dB or more. If that note that is down -1 dB hits with a kick drum that bass note is likely lost in the mix. I looked thoroughly through all the controls and menu options in EZBass and didn’t see anything to minimize the timbre/volume differences in the round-robin repeated note algorithm. I only have the EZBass core library and did try both the Modern and Classic models that come with and no difference/improvement. Yes, I understand that TT is trying to emulate a “real” bass player. I guess for my “real” bass player I would ask for another take with more even/consistent playing (and ask that they resolve the fret/string buzz issue before showing up for the session.) The only workaround I’ve found is to print the track EZBass to audio and then cut/paste audio clips as necessary to repair the track. Just wondering if anyone else has any other workarounds for this. Nice if TT would fix this in a future update. Yes, keep the round-robin concept algorithm, but much more subtle changes between notes.
