Here is a link to a clip referencing my post above (17). The bass is a custom 5 string solo'd in front. (not the fretless fills)

I'm pretty far from the best example of rock n roll sound but I routinely use POD farm's "Rock classic" (SVT obviously) model with it's modelled 8x10 mic'd fridge and a bass driver in front of it and never had complaints. Has really cool grit. I take no stands against the synthesizer though (I put mine on the desk for the lack of space)

Just gotta chime in and say that Amplitube IR's suck pretty badly. I get great results for bass in Amplitube just by turning them off. I don't even use speaker sims for bass most of the time. I like that raw amp sim sound on bass for whatever reason.

Still pretty dark, but I'll need to change those 10 years old strings to brighten it up. That is Bass Professor II with some parallel compression.

I didn't listen but if it's too dark, do you know how to use EQ?

If it's too dark try cutting more in the 200-400hz range and boost 5-7khz



Always looking for a new plugin thats going to get you the exact sound you want out of the box is a misguided venture imo, it's better to learn the basics of mixing/your tools, and I think you will find you have everything you need to get the sound you are looking for

No interest in my Bias Amp? You can go to the website to hear sound samples.

I don't use it, so I can't give you any sound samples.

The good thing about Bias Amp is it's modular. You can design your ideal SVT.

(FYI, trying to sock away $ for a proper vocal mic, so motivated to sell.)

Default Bass Professor II for Mac?

Does anyone know where I can download Bass Professor II for the Mac? I had it on a laptop that got stolen and my VST folder wasn't backed up. My project is looking for it and sucks without that as I had my bass sounding fantastic.

The site Sonic Anomaly site (https://sonic.supermaailma.net) doesn't seem to be up anymore.

The Bass Professor comes as a JSFX plugin. This is independent of the OS (if you have Reaper).

Default OK thanks

Do you know where I can get the JSFX file? Like I said, the Sonic Anomaly site isn't up any more and I can't find it in Reapack. Any help appreciated!

Add this to your list of repositories:

https://github.com/Sonic-Anomaly/Son...ster/index.xml

Then you can download it in ReaPack.

That repo link is listed on the ReaPack site (https://reapack.com/repos). You might want to add some of those other repos too.

Default I like Amplitube

I like Amplitube personally, I would probably just run two bass tracks and use the boss overdrive emulation to brighten up one track, I just turn the distortion all the way down and the volume most of the way up, the other track I use for the sub-bass low tones. Some people like to go full sorcerer and add a synth bass as to act as a filler for a consistent thick wall of bass sound, for this I would use the TAL-Bassline Soft Bass preset.

For anyone else who needs a good Freeware tone
The best free bass amp vst is without a doubt audified's gallian kruger. I have since abandoned this configuration because I have invested in a commercial alternative so I have no problem giving back here. There are two ways to do it, either record or sample two bass tracks, Zombass 1-4 are free through Wilkinson Audio just FYI or there is Amplesound Bass Lite just FYI, but two tracks, one sub bass using the the TSE BOD pedal, also free, the Audified GK. Second I use a guitar amp called Kauassa Lite with the built in cab on the clean channel, it really focus the tone and the two sit together great in the mix. no need to scroll through a gazillion IRs unless you want to. Alternatively so save cpu you can use reapers superior routing capability and just run and audio send out of a single bass track, if you use a sample library I'd double it.

Distortion is up to you, personally I use a more traditional high gain, mid scooped guitar tone and introducing distortion into the chain is completely unnecessary to my ear, I have to roll off gain for no reason, but if you want more you can use BOD or the TSE 808 which is also free.

If you want the absolute best almost free buy an issue of computer music magazine, you get the The Grind Machine, Bass Grinder, and Mecuriall Engl emulation along with hundreds of other great plugins. You can also go to guitar forums and track down Grindmachine Best IR and there are hundreds of ir's engineered to sound like famous bands, it's like drag and drop guitar tone. The Gindmachine itself is only 3.99

The best free bass is a sfz called Standard Bass 2, by Unreal Instruments, you can use it with the free sforzando player, it is multisampled and sounds awesome, it rivals commercial libraries in terms of tone, articulation and functionality.
