This kind of stuff gives me fits, GRRRRRRRRR:

I know someone had to pay the bills and it's not as bad as the proposed Roland "box" that would have given guitar players "the pedal steel sound" without having to have spent all that time learning how to play it.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by chas smith on 05 September 2002 at 04:25 PM.]</p></FONT>

Oh boy...canned steel licks! Just like a loaf of bread, though, they get stale real fast once they're "opened"! (LOL!)

[Cairo Zoots]

The only part of the sample that sounded like a Pedal Steel, was the ending chord--of course I wasn't listening thru megabucks worth of electronic processing equipment....overall I'd give it a LAME rating ....

I always thought that you couldn't do loop-based country music because country music has a chord progression. That "sample song" really proved me wrong. Apparently you can play country without bothering to change chords.

I think the old adage "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" applies here somehow...

Ultimately, it comes down to lyrics and melody. A good song will still sound good with looped samples.

That whole thing sounds terrible. Maybe the mandolin sound is fair. Glad I don't have Sonic Foundry, and from the sounds of that stuff, never will.
