very hard to hear the bass in this demo?!

[J E Martinsen]

Yes, it would be great to hear some notes in isolation. No fancy stuff needed, just to hear the sound of the bass in detail, totally dry. Btw, I love the 72 Jazz Bass library I bought earlier. Good work!

Another Friday, another $10! My wife always laughs when she looks at the credit card statement. "Every Fiday, you spend another $10!"

For me, it would help if you could give us a little more info. How does it compare to the other $10 basses? Anything would help.


(but you know I'm gonna buy it any way!)

Hi Everyone!

Wow! I am really confused. I thought that what people want to hear out a demo is how well it sits in a mix. IMHO samples should not stick out or be very obvious.

So, am I understanding that you want to just hear us noodling around? I guess we could do that, but there's also a lot of people that would hear that and be scared away thinking that is what the end product will sound like, and for us seems to be a lose-lose situation.

Please share your insights with me so that we can best serve you, our customers.

Take care,
Steph

Stephanie - a context demo can be fine but I have to say I can't really hear the bass clearly at all in the posted demo - not to be unkind, but what I can hear sounds like a synth bass. I'm pretty sure that this isn't representative of the product at all... perhaps just a little more care in the demos and the mixing is all that's needed? And imho - nothing wrong with a quick noodling demo if it's easier to put together!

Damn... And I was about to give the store another try, too!

For $10 I already bought it. I agree that I'd like to hear a demo of the library itself. At the very least, I'd prefer to hear it in a sparse mix, something with just the bass library, drums, and light guitar work. That demo was so dense that it was hard to discern the bass. What I did hear sounded good enough for me to drop $10 on it though.

I love all these $10 deals going on around here lately.

I think bass demos would always be difficult, because the bass is not generally prominent in the mix. That was why I was asking for some information. Maybe some word descriptions. I thought the demo sounded good - didn't sound like synth bass to me.

I know you guys always have quality products, so I'm not questioning that at all. I was just wondering how you felt it stood out from, say, Modern 5 string bass?

[Reverend Rhythm]

Wait, I've got it! It sounds smokey!

I went ahead and bought it anyway. I know it will be great!

Hi Reverend!

I think that I understand what you're saying

I have a particular fondness for the Smoke Bass. It's my favorite bass. This bass, IMO is edgier, more aggressive, yet it has a nice crisp sound as opposed to the Modern 5 string which is a little more subdued IMO.

Of course, opinions like what I said, are generally subjective and open to interpretation, so I'm not really sure it my description is very helpful.

More demos are on the way, which I think will help the descriptions better than my words can.

Thanks again and take care!
Steph

Thanks steph, 1000% better demoes! Really useful comparison.

Nice Stephanie! The demos are really useful in comparing the different libraries.
