Ah, you're going to be picky about it... (see what I did there?) wink

I agree that guitar can ring out farther then a quarter note. What sound sources are you using? I have heard some guitar patches that are very close if not exact in the fade area.

I should have been more clear: the quarter note duration is set in the MIDI file:



Changing the duration of the notes so they continue to ring past that duration corrects the problem, making the guitar sound much better:



And yes, I tend to have the note from a prior chord ring into the next chord on an arpeggio, even if it belongs to a different chord. The decay (that you pointed out) usually stops it from sounding too muddy.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
