JamesDaily comment on a post which complains that the virtual instrument which has great sounds, articulations and midi to give you a great scratch bass line to add to your tracks to make a demo which would go on iTunes and Spotify and fool 90% of the population it was real – isn’t real.
I don’t play bass too much but pretty sure all the strings are wound, right?
So on my 8 string guitar, the G played at 3rd fret of the wound, low E string sounds the same as the G at the 8th fret of the wound low B string; and the E played at 5th fret of low B string sounds near as dammit the same as the E at the 10th fret of the low F# string. On a real guitar. So why do you need a 2 string virtual bass which does the same thing?
JamesThanks, John – I did clear the cache before reinstalling everything and that didn’t help – I’ve just done it again and this time still see the same error and message in the Plug-In Manager but this time it gave me a change in that SD3 showed up in the Incompatle Plug-In list in Logic – when I tried to open it from there, it flagged up an error in the Legacy of Rock SDX which I have open up as default in SD3 – so now I’m reinstalling that – 180Gb ouch. Fingers crossed that will solve the issue – if not I’ll be back.
JamesBumping this – Toontrack Support trying to help but so far nothing – have uninstalled and reinstalled Logic, reinstalled SD3 (full and just the AU plugin) – every time it says that the AU can’t be validated in Logic. I’ve seen for older versions of OSX there was a need to, and ways to force Logic to validate a file for use but nothing for Big Sur.
Any suggestions past the obvious un/re-install would be much appreciated.
JamesWell, I can only hope that Toontrack; if they do ever give in to this debacle; will still put out their EBX with just one A 440Hz sound and 5 strings for 75 Euros. I can’t imagine how much it would cost to do what you’re all asking for – so as long as I don’t have to waste my money on EBX’s with only four strings that sound the same as mine with five, and EBX’s with four different timbres of A 440Hz that get lost in the mix anyway go for it.
JamesJust search for MIDI scores on the web – you could import the midi into EZbass no problem to give you your bass line.
Have fun.
JamesAnd another one – damn I must log into the forum more often – Toontrak can we add a Spam filter for the posts as well?
JamesYawn – how many threads have we had on this?

Thanked by: Tormod Guldvog and Alexander LazarevJamesSo does the Jazz, Fusion or Funk Midi packs have midi which hits the extensions? I don’t have any of these as I usually write/play my own bass lines anyway and just use the much better sounds of EZBass to replace my crappy bass playing.
JamesThanks for the reply. I’m still having trouble accomplishing that, though.
Having trouble understanding what I wrote – or moving the notes?
JamesAnother vote for a stand up bass, with a side of extended chords.
You do know you can write your own MIDI right?
JamesI’ve been playing and teaching as long as you (multi-instrumentalist), and I’ve come across it a lot. It’s just another tool among many, in addition to your ears.
Maybe you should get out more?

I’d love to but now is not the time – middle of the pandemic and all 🙂
JamesNot a problem man, and listen – I’m not telling you that what you want is wrong or what you’re doing is wrong – just surprised because in nearly 40 years of music and teaching and playing guitar I’ve never come across this idea of reading midi is all.
If someone asked me if Guitar Pro was a good way to create music I’d tell them I don’t think so, no – maybe I’m wrong about that but it’s just my opinion.
