Re: OT-AFAH (Off Topic And Funny As Hell) MicroSoft's take on livelooping ; -)

22 cowbells compressed at 50-1 is clearly not going to be anywhere near 
loud 
enough. Obviously what you need to do to make "MORE COWBELL" louder is add 
more cowbell. I'm really disappointed in you Rick, I thought you would 
have 
known that. The good news is that Songsmith allows you to add even more 
cowbell! You can even add "MORE CHORDS" without even needing to know what 
a 
chord is.

In case anyone has missed it, here is where you cn hear a demo of the More 
Cowbell Edition -
