United Plugins is proud to announce availability of QuickBass, bringing the fruits of an already acclaimed cross-brand collaboration with FireSonic and SounDevice Digital to bear upon the lower frequencies of the sound spectrum as an aptly-named bass guitar sound-perfecting plug-in. 

Having started their collaborative sound quest last year with Quick AG, an all-in-one acoustic guitar solution compatible with major AAX/AU/VST DAW  applications on both macOS and Windows as a superlative shortcut to sought-after natural acoustic instrument sounds; Instant Audio’s QuickBass follows suit to achieve the perfect bass guitar sound as quickly as possible.  

Instant Audio has found the sweet spot between speed and versatility with QuickBass by providing the tools necessary to achieve the perfect bass sound in a single plug-in with as few controls as possible. 

Anchored around photorealistic GUI (Graphical User Interface) hardware it is perfectly possible to resize it at any time by simply dragging the bottom-right corner positioned arrow accordingly, for instance FINGER, tuned especially for finger-playing style; SLAP, tuned especially for slap bass technique; MILLERIZE, offering untypical settings for slap bass based on a famous player’s style; and PICK, tuned especially for rock playing with a pick in the EQ section. There is also a healthy selection of presets available to help users get going in their desired direction with minimal interaction involved. As an effect that adjusts the amplitude of audio signals at particular frequencies, those featured in that EQ section have been chosen to suit the sound of those bass-playing styles and techniques with controls: LOW CUT (Hz) with frequency range settings spanning from 28 to 55 for creating cleaner bass sounds; BASS (%) for boosting or lowering the level of bass in the signal between -100 and +100 (with 0 by default); DESWAMP (%) for dropping down the level of ugly frequencies in lower mids and higher bass frequencies, ranging from 0 to 100; MIDS (%) for boosting or lowering the level of mids in the signal between -100 and +100 (with 0 by default); HIGHS (%) adding a level of highs to the signal, ranging from 0 to 100; and HI CUT (Hz) cutting the highest frequencies that are superfluous to the bass guitar signal with frequency range settings spanning 2000 to 9000. 

Compression can greatly assist in creating great bass guitar sounds, so QuickBass features a switchable COMPRESSOR with an associated COMPRESSION control ranging from 0 to 100 and also offers a STYLE control to blend three different types of simulated hardware compression. 

As an aptly-named bass guitar sound-perfecting plug-in, QuickBass has got its users covered.
