From Quantum Leap producers Nick Phoenix and Pierre Martin,
HARDCORE BASS XP includes over 6 Gigabytes of mix dominating,
teeth shattering, hardcore electric bass recorded through
massive Ampeg bass rigs with the volume turned up to 11! A
great selection of classic basses makes this library suitable
for many genres, from Jazz to Hip Hop, Dance to Hard Rock!
Now includes 7 Basses:
* Musicman Stingray Bass
* Lakland 5594 5-String Basses
* 1961 Fender Jazz Fretless (fingered)
* 1963 HÃfner (picked and fingered)
* 1965 Gibson (picked)
* 1966 Silvertone (picked and fingered)
* 1972 Rickenbacker (picked)
Features:
* Over 6 Gigbytes of sample content!
* Excellent at making aggressive bass sounds
* Fingered as well as picked basses plus an amazing fretless bass included
* All of samples were recorded through a modern bass rig and a vintage rig
from the 60s, enabling you to mix between the two signal paths.
* Now MAC OSX compatible (not compatible with OS9)
Hardcore Bass XP is a little different from the original Hardcore Bass because
of the way it was recorded, and the way it is presented. Hardcore Bass XP is
really more of a vintage, broad use, bass library. We wanted to give you
the option of getting a completely authentic, vintage bass sound, as well
as a more hi-fi vintage sound. The sound is still the sound of a mic.d cabinet,
but this time round it.s 2 cabinets. All the samples are stereo. The right
channel is the sound of a 50.s Ampeg rig, mic.d with an RCA 44 ribbon mic
into a Manley tube signal path. The left channel is the sound of an 80.s large
Ampeg rig mic.d with a Sennheiser 451 dynamic mic into a Neve solid state signal path.
The difference in sound between the two signal paths is huge. You can use
the library as a stereo bass library, but the intended use is this: Whatever bus
that the bass will end up passing through, should be set to mono.If you are using
an outboard mixer, you can send the Hardcore Bass XP stereo output into two separate
channels, and set them to dual mono (2 channels both panned dead center). If you are
mixing inside of an audio program like Logic Audio, the Hardcore Bass XP VSTi
will be stereo. You must assign the output to a mono bus, even though the Hardcore
Bass VSTi is a stereo instrument. By sending the output to a mono bus, you are sending
both sides of the stereo signal to a single, center panned, channel.
Now, the pan control (CC10), in Hardcore Bass XP functions as a mixer between the 2
signal paths. The bass will be panned in the center, but the pan will
control the tone. More bottom and top end from the left channel and all dirty midrange
from the right.
Like the original release, Hardcore Bass XP is very good at making
aggressive bass sounds, but also shines in the softer areas as well.
There are fingered as well as picked basses and a really nice fretless.
Enjoy, Nick Phoenix
