In the end, it has ended up on a few final drafts.

I ended up getting it to do a commercial jingle rough draft for some clients while I was away from my studio and was quite pleased with the actual sound quality. With the current setup, I have to give it an 8 for performance due to this "latency issue." I have had this for a few months and still use it quite a bit for quick ideas and for some clients who, after hearing the scratch tracks done with these samples, were pleased enough and decided not to record a real bass player to save time and money.įirst off, I should say that I was skeptical of this sound set because unlike the other Libraries I have, I actually own a good enough bass rig that I never thought I would want or use this sound set.
SCARBEE BASS VS AMPLEBASS MANUAL
It's funny, as I write this, I realize that maybe I should read that manual to see if I can adjust this. It could be that I am biased as I am a pretty ripping bass player but a poor excuse for a Violin player so I could be expecting to much. To me, it sounds great in LASS but not as good MM Bass. My first experience with features like this was with L.A. When you say, jump an octave and a half span, there is what I assume a little loss of time to allow the "computer bass player" to get up the fret board. Essentially, this is designed to be a Bass Guitar sample set, but similar to how high end Violin Sample sets are played, there seems to be a hair of latency that is either a flaw or possibly a feature to further the realism. I am not sure if this is an issue or is just inherent to the type of instrument it is. Everything performs stable and solid but like I mentioned before, I have had some interesting latency issues. I run this mainly in Kontakt Standalone but also in Ableton 8 and Logic 9. If you have used Kontakt before, you know there is a ton of stuff you can edit under the hood, but that has more to do with Kontakt itself rather than this particular instrument. All of the basic features can be accessed via the "front panel" of the plugin. Simply load up the Library, select the Bass tone you want (fat is my favorite) and you are off. I have not needed to look at the manual so far as I am fairly experienced with Kontakt Libraries. I have had no glitches or dropped notes but I have experienced a little latency issue but I will go into that later.
SCARBEE BASS VS AMPLEBASS PRO
I run this on a Macbook Pro i7 core and an RME Fireface 800 and so far it runs pretty smoothly.
