Converting Guitar Pro to real guitar...

[OrdinanceGuitar]

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to the forum. I had a discussion today about how lazy musicians have become. Trust me im one of them. There are so many guys making killer music in their apartments with Superior 2.0 and pods.
So when is toontrack going sample every note on guitar and make Guitar Rig From Hell? Or the other option is to make gog files of each note. Of course it would sound mechanical and completely unrealistic, and it would take forever... Load a midi track from guitar pro and have drumagog take care of the rest. I was joking about it earlier today and now im starting to wonder if it's possible. After having this conversation with a few guys, they asked me what im smoking.
What do you guys think?

It´s called Prominy. The Stratocaster version is better because it has a fancy Kontakt player, while de Les Paul Custom version is a huge mess.

Sorta off topic, but i need to voice my opinion haha.

One of the only things i would NEVER consider midi'ing is guitar(although i do quantize parts close to grid, Making it midiesque in its preciseness).
It just seems so so fucked up to me.

I wouldn't give a shit if it took me a week to track one song with a shitty guitarist, i WOULD NOT midi it(even if it sounded realistic).
If anything i would track it myself.

I'll be picking up Shreddage soon for preproduction purposes, to go from guitar pro -> something more realistic. I don't want to have to record every track in scratch form just to hear it semi decently when I'm gonna have to re record it later and it's already midi'd out now.

There's a guy on here whos name escapes me, but he pretty much nailed an in flames record with a piece of software he's been working on. Im not up for it at all really, it crosses my borderline of musical enjoyment a little too far. And of course, this must be how drummers feel when we tell them we're going to program them because they aint good enough.

Javi Perera is the guy who uses Prominy on this board.

Shreddage is a bit different as it is just for rock rhythm guitar. You can´t just load your Guitar Pro midi guitar line on it, you have to edit it based on Shreddage mapping. The main patch is one octave of power chords and two octaves of single notes. There´s also some neck slides and pick slides (that I´ve set to the first 2 octaves of the keyboard). You won´t find non-power chords, hammer on, pull-offs and all the other tecniques that you will find in Prominy. I think it´s pretty cool though. I recorded this test using Shreddage and POD Farm (Spinal Puppet amp).

^Beat me to it- but yea Javi has a bunch of tracks in RMM section that have absolutely no live instruments on them (so to speak). They sound incredible- you'd hardly know they were "fake" unless someone told you. Just search his name.
