Guillermo Fabbri Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hi, I am having many troubles with CAKEWALK by BANDLAB and Steinberg Virtual Bassist. The VST is well recognized by the CAKEWALK, and even it began to work, but once you picked the sound you may like in the VST, it crashes all around. And that’s all. Does anyone has the same problem??? Any Help? Please. W10 / 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 That is a depreciated, unsupported 32bit plugin. Not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginaldStjohn Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It is probably a crash in the plugin. See this to know how to submit a crash dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, we all have favorite plugins that were officially retired long ago. Nothing inherently wrong with older 32-bit plugins -- as long as they still work. Sounds like this one's got some issues, and Steinberg is never going to address them. I'd starting poking around for a replacement. Sorry, I have no suggestions, as I've never used this specific one. I'm guessing it's a bass instrument with some canned MIDI or loops/phrases? If you're just using it as a soft synth, try SI-Bass that came with Cakewalk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. Because it at least works. Indeed. Nothing inherently wrong with old, no-longer-supported 32 bit plugins. If they work. If they don't, it isn't worth fighting with them.

But if you at least glanced at that SOS article from from 2005, you would have realized that a basic SI Bass virtual bass is no substitute for Steinberg VB, and all the bells and whistles Steinberg included with that (retail in 2005 for £179.99/USD $246). It looks like you would at least need a ToonTrack EZBass, or a ujam Virtual Bassist to come close to replacing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like the OP - if he comes back- is gonna have to either pry his wallet open or learn how to write bass lines.
