zircon Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Scroll down for the ISW 2011 Holiday Bundle deal and discount for existing Shreddage owners! $99 HOLIDAY BUNDLE HERE (Shreddage, Shreddage X, Shreddage Bass, Acoustic Revolutions vol. 1) Hello all! I'm excited to announce that Shreddage Bass: Picked Edition is now finished and available for purchase! This is our brand-new DI electric bass library. Features + demos below: * Over 2,000 24-bit DI samples from a Music Man Sterling * Kontakt 4 format w/ unlocked WAVs * Sampled from drop C (Bb in Kontakt) all the way up * Open and muted sustains * Open and muted staccato notes * 8x round robins (up/down picks) and 3x velocity layers per NOTE * Hammer-on and pull-off w/ 2x RR and 3x velocities * Neck slides * Our best interface yet with customizable legato range, preset EQ (with sweet spots), octave playing, downpicks only, anti-repetition, amping, compression, limiting and 'thrash' notes * NO keyswitches, NO complex mapping. Left hand = sustain, right hand = mutes. Modwheel for optional vibrato. Just load and play. Even though there are plenty of bass libraries out there, we are really excited for this one. I've personally had a ton of fun playing with it already. Compared to other sampled basses, this library is incredibly easy and intuitive to use. You won't ever find yourself struggling to get the right articulation or trigger something when you didn't mean to. It isn't a CPU or memory hog. Most importantly, it SOUNDS great right out of the box with absolutely no EQ. One of my biggest issues with many other libraries is that they tend to make basses that sound too full. They might seem great on their own, but you have to carve them and tweak amp settings endlessly to get them to fit. Not with Shreddage Bass. Drop it in a mix and it sits perfectly. That was the design goal: maximum playability and realism with an excellent tone.

Jamphibious Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 That bundle is a REALLY enticing deal. Hard to resist, I just might have to get it. These are some pretty great libraries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissidia Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Agreed this is definitely tempting. Edit: Most importantly, it SOUNDS great right out of the box with absolutely no EQ. One of my biggest issues with many other libraries is that they tend to make basses that sound too full. They might seem great on their own, but you have to carve them and tweak amp settings endlessly to get them to fit ^ This, seriously. Especially Alchemy libraries, them basses ;_; (brb removing all but bass frequencies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magellanic Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Ah man, this is sooo tempting. I love playing guitar in my tracks, but being able to get the entire lot for $99 is near irresistable. Hmm, you don't like to make my life easy do you Zircon The bass does sound fantastic.

Drakken Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Congrats on the release! Looking forward to trying this out once I get the discount code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Awesome deal! I just bought it, now in the process of downloading. EDIT: Is Shreddage meant to be played with a guitar? Or will a midi keyboard work just fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 MIDI keyboard is just fine, or even sequencing it manually in the piano roll. I do that most of the time now Thanks for the kind words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallenWolf Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Those basses sound really good! Question: I don't have Kontakt 4 (or any NI stuff) - can I use the Kontakt 4 player for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Do want so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Those basses sound really good! Question: I don't have Kontakt 4 (or any NI stuff) - can I use the Kontakt 4 player for this? Unfortunately no, and that's a restriction placed by NI, not us. The full version of Kontakt is well-worth it though if you can get that (or Komplete) on sale. For example, Komplete 6 (which includes Kontakt 4) can be purchased for ~$290-300. It's a little older but still well worth it. I wish there were a better solution though!

GallenWolf Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks for the reply Zircon, I'll be sure to look at Bass again if I get the full version of Kontakt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissidia Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I bought Shreddage bundle and it is really cool and fun to use (definitely happy with my purchase . Will you be making a video for the bass or do you feel that nothing special needs to be covered in a video? When you double track and write automation is there a way to copy or share the automation so you don't have to write automation for 2 tracks?

If it's an automation clip you can right click the knob you want to automate (or use the last tweaked trick if you're talking about Kontakt), hit "link to controller", and link it to the same automation clip in the drop down menu. Make sure you DECLICK remove conflicts so that it will still affect the other parameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissidia Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Cool, thank you Neblix . I just now realized that you can use one midi track for double tracking. I still wanted to know for other things though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicThHedgog Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Do I need full kontakt for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Do I need full kontakt for this? I believe Zircon answered this one already. Kontakt player will not work for this. You ned the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
