Finally found the place to get in direct contact with you developers… I have a huge request…

I am happy to see EZ  Bass is coming.

PLEASE do not only look at EZ Bass when developing it:

1. Dont forget your other plugins. I think an easy exchange of the chord progessions and song parts between EZ Keys and EZ Bass is very important. It does not make sense to set up the chord progressions and “verse”/”Chorus” twice? Same to “Fills” in EZ Drummer. So please make sure, that one can easily drag the chords from Keys to Bass and the other way round… and that also EZ Drummer is not forgotten (busy playing, Fills, …)
2. Please also dont forget EZ Drummer… Bass and drums are strongly connected… Why not suggesting /deriving Bass patterns from the drums?

To be honest: I was quite disappointed, that there is no talk between EZ keys and Drummer.. and even more disappointed that EZ Mix on track 2 does not care about the EZ Mix settings on track 1 – should be easy to avoid Masking and other intereferences, if the whole song is mixed with one single plugin… But no.. PLEASE look at this when creating EZ Bass!!

All the best – cant wait to pre-order 😉

PLEASE at least add a function to exchange the chords progression (maybe even verse/chorus flag) from EZ Keys to EZ Bass (or other way round…)

Yes, finally!!

I hope, the will use the drum pattern to suggest bass lines. The “talk” between the plugins is not very good at the meoment (even not with EZMix).

I hope, they take this chance!!!

Cant wait to see it… When can we pre-order?

Thanks so far!
I am still using it – I guess, I would not have need this plugin, but now that I have it, i start enjoying it.
I am still thinking about buying one or two packs – just to be able to ignore all other plugins I used so far. However, I am not realy sure, if my music is suffering from this simplification.
I do spend MUCH less time with tweaking – which is great on the one hand, but makes me lazy on the other hand. Thus, I am not sure, if my learning prozess stopped with using this plugin…
Right now, I dont even look at the used effects… Just filter intrument and some other things, try some presets and use the one that sounds ok…

Its really not bad, but somehow… too simple… 😉 😉
Not sure if I could express what I wanted to say…
Best regards and thanks for your hep!

Thanks a lot for such a detailed answer!
I played a bit with the demo… and than I just bought the black Friday deal…
I think, I will have to still read a bit to get the most out of it and I also assume, that the basic package will not be sufficient and i will need to get some more. But so far, even if I just use the master plug in on my master track, it is a bit of help…

What I did not fully understand in your answer: You wrote:
“The mastering pack for EZMix lets you put a single plug in on your master track that compresses, widens, brightens, etc… Basically applies the mastering process to your tracks as a whole (this is probably what you are noticing in the demos in your question 6).”

I get a bit confused about the term “mastering”… and “mastering pack”. In mixing I think I have to put a vocal “effect chain” (reverb, compressor, deeser,…) on my vocals, a guitar “effect chain” on my guitar (EQ, reverb, …) and at the end, a master effect chain on my master (compressor, limiter, …).
Is putting the vocal effect chain on the vocals a part of mastering?
Which packs do you recommend to buy, if I mainly have vocals, one or two electric guitars, bass, sometimes an acoustic and EZDrummer? Should I search for “mastering” packs, or go with things like the “rock” pack, “modern pop rock” or “vocals”…?
