Guitars use effects pedals to change their sound. Sound editing software can emulate virtually any amp/speaker configuration in existence.
If it's a sound, it can be modified.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

It’s harder to manipulate attack and dynamics precisely if it’s not a totally dry recording, i.e. if you can hear the natural reverb of the room or hall..
But I haven’t been a sound/music guy for a while - for all I know there may be tools to compensate for that now
You could probably mess around with EQ, which might be enough, but what OP is describing sounds like the kind of granular control you’d get with a synth or MIDI instrument
Can be dealt with a bit, obviously not going to be as good as recording the instrument in a perfectly sound deadened room, but recording the instrument and the room can help the engineer to remove the extra stuff cause by the room's acoustics.
