best vst's for bass sounds?

thanks

 

trillian + anything additive like razor and harmor

 

Trilian

 

Any FM synth, for lack of better context.

 

Roland Cloud SH2

 

Which kind of bass? Electronic, electric, acoustic (and which genre for the latter two)?

 

Repro-5/1

yeah, as stated it depends by the genre

Trilian is incredibly comfortable, quick and good sounding for many many situations.

For electronic like house, techno or similar Arturia's Modular and Mini can do serious damage, teaming with their 1176 compressor and Sitral eq everyone can make a great bassline in minutes.

For more complex stuff like drum&bass, dubstep or even ambient and soundtracks Output Substance could help, but not good for everything.

 

serum and massive but it depends of what kind of sounds you like. every synth gives different sound's texture.

 

so the virus c emulator can count now, right?

 

Too hard and ambiguous....There are at least five in each category to choose from, each doing a slightly different thing - Upright bass, electric bass (and further divisions by genre), synthesised bass(and its divisions). People who have named specific manufacturers plugins are correct, but entering the realm of each Trillian, Ample Bass, Kontakt etc etc... Serum, Omnisphere, Iris, Arturia,.Korg...etc..etc... the list is too long and add anything anyone else has put up because they all serve a purpose. Pick the one(s) that give the compositions or arrangements you work on the sound you are after.
Try them all.

a list like this is good though. you can only try what you hear about. there are lots of less popular and obscure ones. Like SubFaw type of stuff. People can have good recommendations.

 

if you're less than 20yo there's only one vst for bass:
Sublab

Roland cloud SH-101… this synth is very very beautiful for bass sound… i think it is very used in techno music … Even with diva you can create powerful bass sound
