Who needs a Synth when ya got a Good Screwdriver Handy, eh? ;-)>

Stan Ol' Boy, those cables are called "guy wires"(don't ask me why)...And banging on them with a hammer is exactly what George Lucas did to get one of the sound effects in Star Wars. Can't remember if it was a gun, or the sound that two light sabers make when they hit each other...Pretty high tech stuff.

But I'll repeat, even though effects have been used successfully on occasion, when you're judging thousands of songs, by the time you've heard the same sounds a dozen times, then the only affect the effect has, is to make ya wanna scream "Step away from the gadgets and get to the music already!!!!"

Satchel was right. Something is gaining on me.
