How can you sustain a chord on an audio file after it's been recorded?

This is complicated stuff and it's amazing to me it works as well as it does.

Excellent points Bob.

FWI - There is one way to make an audio file piano sustain if one has a 64 bit DAW and Melodyne 4 Editor. You bring the RT wav into Melodyne, highlight and extend the notes you want to sustain. It is is very time intensive exercise but the results are excellent. I have done this a couple of times using Sonar and Melodyne. I also have changed chords in audio. For example if one played a Gm and we wanted a G in Melodyne I move the Bb up to a B.
