What you can and can’t do with Virtual Bassist
Virtual Bassist has many advantages when compared with a real
player:
• Virtual Bassist is convenient and
available at any time.
• Virtual Bassist is cheap and easy and you won’t need a studio to record in.
• You can save time because there’s no setup, tuning, preparation, microphone
positioning, or audio recording.
• Virtual Bassist doesn’t play wrong notes and there aren’t any timing problems.
• You can work with several bass players simultaneously.
• You can control the sound and phrasing of the bass.
• Virtual Bassist supports your creativity, allowing you to experiment as much as
you want, and gives you the possibility to create tracks that couldn’t be played
on a real bass guitar.
• It’s possible to make alterations at any stage, even after recording or during
the mixing process. You can change the instrument, phrasing and sound with-
out having to recreate a recording from scratch.
Despite all of these advantages, it’s important to remember that Virtual
Bassist is a computer program and will inevitably have some disadvan-
tages when compared to a real player. It would be impossible for Vir-
tual Bassist to provide everything a real musician might theoretically be
able to offer, although the included Styles cover a broad range and will
be capable of suiting most needs.
