Bapu Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I finally tried EZBass on a new tune where I thought my established bass part could use some new ideas. It's a new 'Citizen Regen' metal tune. So, I loaded up the metal bass, plugged in the chords, and chose some metal patterns for the intro, verse, pre-chorus and the chorus. Comparatively speaking the various patterns I picked vs what I originally played were pretty busy (think Victor Wooten Solo but in Metal genre). One small verse section was even pretty close to what I originally played. Now, there was one section I really liked and so I nicked it for my final take that I played on the track, not EZBass. It was something I would probably never would have stumbled on, so it was a cool find. Edited January 22, 2022 by Bapu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just export the dry DI and run it through an IKM bass amp sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my major instrumentation problem, too! ? Often I create too many cool instrument parts that compete against each other. So I end up having almost unsolvable mixing problems!

abacab Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I guess that it would make the most sense to begin with an EZbass line that you like in this case, and build the rest of your song around that. Keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
