Vst Bass Instrument Free

Bass instruments come in all shapes and forms, but the “mother of all basses” is the classic double bass, also called upright bass, and often referred to as jazz bass.

On Samara Cycle Audio, you can find a big collection of free VST instruments and effect plugins. One of them is Om Bass 2, a much-improved successor of the original Om Bass. This VST plugin is a fun one: With 128 presets to try and a ton of settings, you can shape your bass tone to your liking. Can you recommend a 64 bit Windows VST plugin that offers several good preset instrument sounds, especially a realistic sounding acoustic bass such as heard in the old Cakewalk TTS-1 synth? The TTS-1 is included with 64 bit versions of Cakewalk Sonar, but is only usable at 46.1kHz or 96kHz, and I’d prefer to record at higher sample rates up.

Instead of bowing the strings like they usually do in an orchestra, with an upright bass you pluck it the strings in various ways to create more of a rhythm and groove kind of feel for the bass parts.

Here are my top recommendations for VST plugins and sample libraries focusing on a great double bass:

The Power of Double Bass in Music

Why is upright bass such a big part of jazz, acoustic band music of all styles, and often used in film music as well for underscores and minimal scores? Well, because of one thing: rhythm & groove in the low end.

A double bass part can add that sense of drive in a very smooth way, without taking away from dialogue and effects in movies, or the lead singer in a song, or leading melody instrument(s) in a composition.

What you should Focus on

Bass guitar vst plugins 2018. With an upright bass sample library or VST plugin you really want to focus on what type of tone and sound quality you get from the recordings and samples. How notes connect, such as legato, slides etc. are hugely important in the low end.
