Re: [Rosegarden-user] guitar strums

[David T. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi Michael,

Thanks.
"You could go into the matrix and shift-drag the notes to offset them by
some
tiny interval."
I hadn't thought of that
"I eventually recorded real guitar parts for all that old stuff.  Fake
guitars
sound lame, no matter what you do."
I was afraid you would say something like that. I have never liked
synthesized guitar sounds. The sampled ones are a big improvement but, as
you said, they aren't the real thing.
I am only a so so guitar player. What I want in the piece is beyond my
ability to play it. I'll try the offset for a few bars to see if that is
worth the work. Otherwise, I may need to recruit a guitarist.

Dave
