Anybody sample guitars? Note for note?

[arkmabat]

With all this deathcore metal, I was wondering if anybody here has ever sampled their rhythm guitars, like you would drums....like in heavy breakdowns. Or can people really play like that... with elastic audio? Guess I don't know much about this, but sometimes i think, "this guitar's playing the same note over and over...spot on" and an old dos tracker came to mind

Yeah there's one called Prominy. Prominy Professional Sample Libraries

There are a number of commercial products with this approach. Quantum Leap Stratocaster 56, VSL Overdrive, Vintaudio Clean Electric Guitars .. and yeah the Prominy monster, huge.

I had a great guitar player friend play all articulations, notes, nuances, fx, tricks, strums, hammer-ons, trills, dives .. the works (plus interest). Barely any loops or grooves though. Different guitars, all electric ones, into my computer, and I edited it up to my own go to lib - in NI Kontakt. We recorded clean first and then I had him do it all over through his amp. But I still recorded the clean signal to the computer and not post-amp. I did this with the hope of bringing out the playing from him that you naturally do whan you play through an amp, which is many times different from when you play with a clean sound. I thought it would work better through soft amps, or real re-amping (and it did).

It's not difficult to do this, it's just time consuming and takes some organizational thought.

That idea has been in play for years.
