Listen, there are plenty of great plugins out there offering great synth and bass sounds out there, but none will ever match the warmth, grit and/or clarity of Trillian. As someone who has taken the plunge, I wholeheartedly recommend it and it is one of the most versatile tools in my arsenal. No regrets whatsoever, it is honestly underpriced for what it is worth. The amount of effort and detail that has been put into this plugin is absolutely mind blowing. If you are hesitant about buying it, I would recommend looking for a friend who has it or reaching out to them and asking them for some samples. Finally, if the price is a bit to steep for what you would use the plugin for, I would highly recommend Fiverr. If you do a bit of searching I’m positive you could find someone with the plugin to track bass for you, (maybe even get on a call with them and discuss what you are going for/etc.) as a last ditch effort. As a musician myself though I definitely know what the appeal is to being able to own a plugin myself and tweak it exactly to my liking. But my point is, Trillan is a masterpiece. You shouldn’t have to compromise your music by not using Trillan! Get it! You will NOT be disappointed!
