I'm looking for some high quality Dobro guitar samples.
I haven't found any sample cd's on internet which have those.
Also other great guitar samples are what I'm looking for.
Those guitar samples within Reason are really bad.
If anyone of you people could help, thanks in advance.

I sampled a dobro, but there's a bit of problem. A large part of the dobro's charm comes from being able to smoothly slide from one note to the next. If you sample a single note, and then play it back from a keyboard using pitch bend, the sound is sterile. The reason is that you can't hear the sound of the bar sliding on the strings, and you can't hear the resonance of the guitar body adding it's own "reverb" effect to the slide. You just hear the pitch being affected in a clinical and sterile fashion.

Most real instruments have some extra sounds going on when they slide in pitch, and this sort of thing isn't recreated in a sampler when you move the pitchbend lever. :(

I wonder how the expen$ive sample set providers try to get around this problem?
