    I wanted to know if you can help me.

    I need a plugin or a program that make electrical bass more real and soften the changes of notes, for example for the electrical guitar is the Amplitube.

    And for the electric bass???

    I use the Prominy bass and the Ilya bass (modern bass) btw

    What refer me is that plugin serves for a bass electrical (prominy or ilya modern bass) so that the change of notes remain softer and have a better sound.

    If I want to put him effects to a guitar electrica, is the plugin: "amplitube"
    And for the bass electrical?..... What plugins exist in the actuality? And which is the best?....

    Guitar Rig 5 has a couple of decent bass amp sounds, and it's the only plug with a bass DI patch. Your best bet is IK Multimedia's Ampeg SVX plug (yes, it's just like Amplitude, but for the bass). Also, if your Ilya Efimov Modern Bass is anything like his Classic Bass instrument, it should have an Amp option built into it, just try switching that on first.

    However, it's unclear what you're trying to do here. Are you looking for an amped bass sound or are you trying to accomplish something else? if you're just trying to soften the attack, you can slap on a compressor with a fast attack/slow release setting. You can also extend the length of the MIDI notes a little so that the bass's Auto Legato kicks in, which will fill in the spaces between note changes more fluidly. An amp sim isn't going to alter the duration of the notes (though it cam amplify what's already there), so it could just be a matter of your MIDI notes being too short. If your bass isn't sounding bass-y enough, or if the attacks seem too sharp, I'd advise getting Scarbee Pre-Bass or Jay-Bass, which both sound tubbier and fatter than a regular DI'd bass sound.

    A real bass or guitar is always going to sound better than even the best sampled one ... but let's assume he can only play keyboard and may be stuck on how to get a "realistic" sound from a sampled electric bass.

    With that in mind, as Baxter just suggested ... if all else fails, why not try electric bass loops? With a loop, a real bass player has already played the bassline for you, and more than likely, the basic processing, like amping or DI tweaking, has also been done. Be sure to get a set that was recorded in multiple keys, so it will be easier to apply to your song.

    I think I understand! You already have the "real" electric bass sound with your Prominy Bass sample set, and now, you want to find a way to add an "amp sound". Guitar Rig 5 has a couple of bass amp models and the bass DI model. I'd still check out the Ampeg SVX, too, which has a lot more to offer. We could also get into blending that direct sound from your Prominy Bass with the amp sound you'll get through an amp sim, but that would be a hell of a long entry. Try this: How To Mix The Bass Guitar. It has a lot of useful information and the accompanying audio samples really help.

    As for nylon guitar, I personally use Musiclab's RealGuitar 3, which sounds great, but a lot of people swear by Amplesound's nylon acoustics.

    I play a Kubicki. Very nice bass guitar, but it took me a long time to find a plug in for bass that made me want to monkey with the sound much, other than setting up my own virtual rack. But the plug in for bass in Jack Joseph Puig suite (which I think is in Waves) is the one I use most of the time. Try spreading it out in stereo, but just a little bit, with some of the other things in there. Also, the Puigtec compressor, which is modeled on a Pultec, is easy to use and is nice for bass. Besides compression it adds a subtle tube like warmth. Pink strings add warmth, too. :rofl: http://www.flickr.com/photos/117254183@N07/12467633205/

    Again, you should definitely try out RealGuitar 3, the nylon sounds pretty decent (plus, you get a bunch of steel-stringed guitars, a stereo steel string and a "double-tracked" steel string). Another one that comes to mind is Pettinhouse Classic Guitar for Kontakt.

    Check out the Ample Sound AGL (Alhambra Luthier nylon guitar), which is a little big, around 4gb, but its worth it, being top notch quality at the moment. Check de demos

    I do not know if I do not do me clear, or do not explain me, said clearly that am using the Ample SOUND AGL (nylon guitar) And come your and say me that it use the ample sound AGL, When I already said that I am using it. :( :( :( :(
    What I want to is a plugin to give him effects to the guitar, so that it sound better, a PLUGIN.

    As well as for the electrical guitar use the: Amplitube, then want to know that plugin can put him to the ample sound AGL so that it sound better.

    Please, I said plugin, no instrument, have put me an instrument, and what I am looking for is plugin, only want to give effect to the guitar (ample sound agl) am looking for a PLUGIN :excl:
