The Gypsy Incident (Big Ass Acoustic Guitars!)
This is about an incident involving a group of street musicians in a Paris Metro station. They were dressed like Gypsies that you might see on a TV sitcom like Green Acres. There were two acoustic guitar players and a young woman that sang and played a variety of percussion instruments. When they began to play it was magnificent. The natural acoustics of the subway tiled walls was spectacular. The music sounded like a dozen guitars coming from inside my head. Suddenly (1:28)) the local authorities showed up and took them away in handcuffs. They probably had it coming, but I was sad to see them go.

Nice one. Did you play the guitars? I’m a guitarist and can’t even tell if they’re loops or synths or live. I’m guessing loops, but I’m starting to realize it doesn’t really matter.
If this is more sample manipulation it’s amazing… perhaps you should be called the Sample Meister.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr, @GeoTony - I was hoping a guitar player would weigh in on this. The fact that there was some doubt is really encouraging to me!
You are both correct. This was done using a few samples, but quite a few of them. I typically start with a sample or two that sound good to me. Then I edit them and create a few MIDI files that I feel enhance the sample. Next, I try those MIDI files against several different synths with guitar-like presets. When I get something that sounds alright, I freeze the track, which renders everything to a WAV file with all effects in place. This really cuts down on CPU load! The end result is a multi-layered concoction that, hopefully, resembles the real thing. It's more of an assembly process, but I enjoy doing it. I doubt if most musicians would do things this way. 20 years ago I would have cringed at the thought of this! As they say, necessity if the mother of invention
Thanks for taking time to listen and comment. I appreciate it!
