Toontrack EZBass // Audio to midi, how good is it?
In this video, I wanted to see how well the audio to midi function works in EzBass, using my guitar as a source.
Toontrack EZBass // Create a complete track in less than 10 minutes?
In this video I wanted to see if it was possible, using all the EZ products (EzBass, EzDrummer and EzKeys) to create a complete track which I could jam to, in less than 10 minutes. Is it possible? Find out...

Toontrack EzBass // Straight out the box first impressions
One piece of software I have been very excited about getting a hold of is Toontrack's EZBass. In this video I jump straight in, the second after installing and see how 'EASY' it is to use! Also try and find out how good it is at creating realistic bass lines for your compositions. I then challenge myself to see how long it take to put a track together!

Fender Blues Junior at Bedroom level
We have been asked this question SO many times, ‘Can I use the Blues Junior at home'?’.
It seemed appropriate to produce a video demonstrating ‘How loud the Blues Junior is at bedroom level’.
A couple of things to bear in mind, the audio in this video is just the camera audio. I used the camera mic to try (as much as it is possible) to be ‘my ears in the room’. I also set the Blues Junior to a level which I personally feel is acceptable and not going to annoy the neighbours. However, your situation may be different. As you can see, I also used some pedals to get dirty tones at low levels.
If you have any specific questions, let me know.
