Hi Floyd.

You may be right on the Pedal Steel. I am not really familiar with real pedal steel. I have only played one gig with one the time I helped a band that desperately needed a lead guitarist for the night. Plus I very rarely use one in my music. So in my mind this VSTi sounded the most realistic one that I have never heard. Those who play one or are very familiar with one can tell the difference.

Which brings me to the fact that I have never heard a good MIDI guitar either. I'll bet you haven't either!

I also know very little about fiddle solos but I do know that I have never heard a good MIDI one.

But it is just a matter of time IMHO before someone comes out with good MIDI sound sources for those instruments. If you remember they used to say the same thing about sax, trumpet, oboe, well just about all wind instruments but now they are all expertly covered.

Just my thoughts.


The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?" I said, "Diddly."
