Great idea, DRS.

They might do it, but basic "groove" bass, in my opinion, has more variables to it than "groove" drums. You can, in EZDrummer, paste some measures, add some randomness to humanize it and you get fairly close to a real drummer. One difference, for example, with bass is in the cut off of the note.

Very few drum hits have a controlled cut off. You can grab a cymbal or close a high hat, but toms, bd's and snares are rarely cut off. A good bassist continually varies the length of the note to make the groove specific to a section of the song, or to make the snare hit have it's own window. They can vary the note lengths to match the lyric of the song or the rhythmic pattern of the melody.

Still, for many bedroom studios such a program could produce adequate results.

I'm waiting for ez audience.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
