QuickBass

Quick Bass has immediately become a go-to plug-in for me. It handles multiple tasks in a single, easy to use interface - and performs them surprisingly well. Not only is it brilliant during the mixing stage, but also as a bass DI processor. It quickly gives the takes a sense of roundness, character and definition

After recording, it's good, and sometimes essential, to able to do a little low end sculpting without too much fuss. Quickbass makes this easy and fun - adding just a touch of grit and presence with the saturation control, or the subtle chorus effect of the doubler, which is especially nice on a fretless without being a too full on. The Sub bass control is a good idea too, I'll have to remember not to overuse it! These are all unique features and it's very handy to have them in one plugin along with level controls, some compression and EQ. Plenty of possibilities to add some character and very straightforward to use.

Running an instrument-specific tailored signal path makes a huge amount of sense and QuickBass saves the time and guesswork involved in dialling in mix-appropriate sounds versus with multiple random plug-ins. Signal processing for bass guitar such as drive, compression and EQ and sub exciter all have a raft of parameters that change simultaneously as each dial is manipulated within a single plug-in - The experts have done the fine-tuning leaving us to get on and create. It works great with other instruments too! I select this plugin as default for bass, but it sounds great as an effect when blended into other instrument channels, such as a drum bus!

I’ve been playing around lots with QuickBass, and for the clean tones I think it’s fantastic. Dialing in the subbass function does beautiful things to the low end.

One of the big winners for me. It really helps me to dial bass sound quickly. I love the sub-bass feature which gives really nice round low end.

It works great! Not just on acoustic material but also on synth basses!
