I play everything from classic 50’s rock, to foo fighters.

From singer songwriter A to hard rock B.

If the question was well, if I like Heavy Metal, should I use heavy metal expansion, it would be a stupid question.

But I write alot of different kinds of music

yeah but you dont get them all. I find some and most of the fills in basic ezdrummer
to be way over the top. Hard to get a basic fill without trying to make the drummer the star.

to me the idea is to not draw so much attention to it, hard to do when the guy is firing off wicked fills.

If it’s that hard to find humbling fills it might be easier to find them if I had access to every fill toontrack has, which would be purchashing the packs right?

it would be possible with bass lines played in scales with numerous patterns, a number of chromatic phrases which maybe a manual could state what chord progressions work over it, and walking bass would be pretty easy.

It walks, and then you change the chord at whatever part there is a chord change, like ezpiano

Yeah, but your buying the software to get the feel of the player. If you play a keyboard
to play the bass, it’s just not the same. It’s not every hard at all to use keys to program drums,
but you dont get the feel of a real drummer or the sound of the samples.

Bass is one of the hardest things to record well. it’s also a very unique instrument, playing it from a guitar players point of view is not professional bass playing.

If you had ezbass playing scales in a bunch of different rhythm patterns, plus a number of 8 bar prhases, it would be possible to cut and paste to get the bass to play what you want

I would love this as well. Only I think the Ez bass would be far ahead of EZ piano because single notes
are easier to edit than complete chord phrases.

Somebody mentioned Band in a Box. NOOOOO. Dont go there. Ezdrummer is far and away better than band in a box drummer, you can go into midi and get the drums to play exactly what you want to play. in band in a box you cant.

Ezdrummer should be the same. Little runs, phrases and melodies, but then you could go into editor and write in
or simply cut and paste a specific bass parts.

What makes most band type softwares bad is the inability of them to give you anything but a boxed phrase.

I envision Ez bass kicking butt in that area, but Pleaseeeee, not another band in a box!
