While you need to make music from your home studio but you don’t have a Bass Guitar.

Because you are a Guitar player and you have only a Guitar. And … You feel that you don’t need to buy a Bass guitar, a real Bass.

So obviously, you will need a Virtual Bass software for your home studio project. Or in another case, because you can’t find a real Bass Player maybe? …

Here we found some of Virtual Bass software that you can use in your favorite DAW as VSTi plugin.

Usually, …

Some of DAW software comes with a bunch of VSTi plugins. Including virtual bass of course. That, you can record a midi sound with it. Whether using a Midi controller or just using your computer’s keyboard.

But, if you want it to have it 100% realistic sounding bass then it will need a lot of effort to make it happen.

Because mostly, the built–in VSTi plugin in DAW software is good to create an electronics kind of music.

If you use it to make music that wasn’t electronic music. e.g. Metal, Rock, Blues, Jazz, etc. Then, it will sound weird for sure.

So the solution is by using Virtual Bass (Instrument) that have a decent and realistic sound.

And here they are! we found some of Virtual Bass software that known have a realistic sound just like real Bass Players virtuoso.

IK Multimedia – MODO Bass

MODO Bass by IK Multimedia is known as the first modeled virtual bass software based on a real physical instrument.

Because of the authenticity and the accuracy of the sound. Literally, when you use MODO Bass plugin it is almost the same if you hire a real Bass Player.

Note and conclusion

Ok, guys! that’s three Virtual Bass software on our list that you can use one of them on your music project or whatever.

Here I am not trying to make a bunch of Virtual Bass software lists. Because I don’t want to confuse you by the way. And ya, because we are not a Lists maker Blog.

Personally, I’d like to record a real Bass guitar sound or by a real Bass player. Even if it from DI Bass and then using Bass Amp Simulator plugins for the sound. It more natural and have more dynamic tone and sound in my opinion.
