You may want to consider investing in Band in a Box – it can help generate full arrangements, but it also has “soloist” instruments that work on algorithms to match the arrangement – I think you can export separate instruments in MIDI or audio format. It’s a pretty comprehensive package.

Thanks for the reply, I am interested in buying it from you.
$45 and you pay the transfer fee?
How do we do that? I can Paypal you today. My personal e mail is bryanmichaelblock at the Google mail 🙂 Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers,

I think it’s important to remember that we don’t own any of these patterns or progressions or licks – Toontrack does. We just have a license to use them. 🙂 I think that means we really wouldn’t have STANDING in a legal sense to claim that something was “protectable” from an arrangement standpoint, since we don’t own those bits anyway! Your own melodies and lyrics are probably what you have ownership over…and the final overall recording/piece of music as an encapsulated WHOLE.
At least that’s how I understand it. 😉

It’s definitely a good idea – but UJAM did come out with their virtual bassists a little while ago:

I wouldn’t worry about it. Technically, you can’t copyright an arrangement, only the words (lyrics), and melody – and of course individual recordings are protected, but I suppose individual prominent bass lines or guitar lines – “melody lines” might end up being targeted as they have in this case. But, these cases are only out there because there are 10’s of millions of dollars at stake, and people want a piece of it. If you are that concerned over it, my thoughts would be 1. Don’t write a hit song, then you will never have to worry about it. 🙂 2. Don’t use these products on your final recording – flesh things out and then hire an actual drummer or keyboard player to use those as reference and play something “100% original” or the nuclear option of just not using these products at all – “just in case”.
I don’t know the specifics of how they determined that what Thicke and Williams did equated enough to something that came before that it was actionable, but until there are millions and millions of dollars involved…I’d just enjoy the products and keep making music. 🙂

Hello – YES everything is still available. I don’t want to separate it though, I just want to sell the entire bundle all at once. I only really use EZ Drummer, EZ Mix, EZ Keys, and KONTAKT – I don’t use Superior Drummer at all. I have the original packaging and disks for Evil Drums and Roots and I think the original bundle box – presets and the rest can be downloaded via the Toontrack Product Manager. I’ only asking $200 for the whole bundle – buyer will aslo pay shipping for the disks to their location. The licenses and all of that can be done through email. I accept Paypal. Let me know directly if anyone is interested.

Give it a look.

You will probably just need to create new shortcuts on your desktop for the apps.

Nice. Reminds me of old-school “new wave” prog like Todd Rundgren’s Utopia or some of the more eclectic offerings on Stewart Copeland’s solo material.

Hello –
That is best handled by your DAW. Launch EZD as a virtual instrument from within your DAW, and render /export your track. If you are working in the stand alone mode – save your project, close the stand alone version and launch EZD as a virtual instrument in your DAW, and render/export your track.
