Bassists should seriously be fearing for their jobs right about now, as Toontrack — the software maker behind Super Drummer, EZmix and other essential audio recording products — has unveiled EZbass, a software package designed to allow musicians to quickly and effortlessly add bass to their songs.
EZbass is Toontrack’s highly anticipated bass software instrument and the new core title in the company’s widely popular EZ Line of products. In addition to carefully sampled bass tones, EZbass includes MIDI as well as a host of features that enable users to add incredible-sounding bass to their songs without ever picking up an instrument.
“It feels amazing to finally make available what we’ve worked so hard to realize over the past few years,” says Erik Phersson, Toontrack’s Head of Software Development. “We are confident that what we have built is the most streamlined and intuitive bass production tool on the market today. We can’t wait to see and hear what our users do with it. I would like to also salute our amazing team. This is truly a group effort.”
“The anticipation and excitement from our user base has been enormous. We couldn’t be happier or prouder to finally release EZbass to market,” says Peter Knutsson, Toontrack’s CEO. “A new product line can’t be described as anything other than a company milestone. This is a great day in Toontrack history.”
In addition to EZbass, the EZ Line already includes EZkeys, EZmix 2, EZdrummer 2 as well as a wide range of expansion content for each of those platforms.
EZ bass is available directly from Toontrack’s website, which also has comprehensive video material, audio demos and information on the new product.
