Description : Hope you're all doing well. I'm super proud of this because It's the first metal track I've done and I'm really excited how well the guitars and drums came out. All of it is VST work, so nothing prerecorded, all notation was configured by hand. I've been working years to try to figure out how to get the guitars to sound right, if you've ever played with distorted guitar VST's they're always extremely fake and synthy sounding.

If you have time take a listen and give Centrist some feedback.
Don't usually comment on same track, however you said you were struggling with guitar VSTs.
Here's a few things that may help with your VST parameters:
Upstroke vs Downstroke, palm muted vs open vs fingerpick (nail, flesh of finger, plucked etc.), pick scratch (creates noisy but note specific harmonics, possibly with some wobbly LFO to create randomness), and not all strings are struck at the same time when playing a chord.
There is a tiny delay between each string when a chord is struck, varying from a slow strum, to fast thrash palm-muted bar chords, as well as direction change in that delay, depending if it is an upstroke or downstroke.
If you had just a little more of these irregularities in your VSTs I would be completely fooled in a blind study. Also, just writing this is really making me analyze my playing.
Your plugin and composing work is awesome, and well ahead of most I've heard on and off this site. I hope some guitar theory helps with your struggles.
If is VATs I'm assuming you had to write MIDI into your DAW or in to a score. Message me with the details and I may be able to get you guitar tracks, though that defeats the purpose of working with VSTs. Up to you, nice work once again.
Working with VSTs like this has caused you to become a technical death metal composer, which I can imagine would be very difficult. The VSTs sound great, but sometimes they sound more like badass violins. I think it's full of great ideas.
If you want some real guitars just message me, I could play all of those parts and help with mastering for fun. It would be good practice.
First off great offering. Loved the mix and arrangement. Recording was on point. Kept your attention the whole while.. Keep em' comin' Centrist Peace and good health DDC

Description : Ok...here it is! Another colab with maestro Tumbleweed! Ed provided the unfinished, basic track...I composed and recorded the long intro using different synths and then added piano (well to the fore) and some brass arrangements along the rest of the track (no violin this time...hehe) and then did the final mixing to wrap it up as it is presented now. I hope you will enjoy it and we both appreciate your listening time and your valuable comments:) Otherwise all thanks to Ed!
Description : Just send me the link where you use that, please
Anyway, I'm looking for artists, especially doing melodic techno, deep house etc... to work in my music label called Chick Records

Tell me what this track made to you ^^'
Thank you.
Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...
Description : So a new track for everyone. Im pretty impressed by this one, and would even place it higher than one of my best tracks, Angel And A Demon. However, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should put vocals to it. I have some in mjnd, but idk if itd be better to leave as is and keep it instrumental or not. Take a listen and let me know! Also, let me know if anything is too loud, still working on my mastering.
Description : NEVER STOP DREAMING!
Love what you do and do what you love.
Made out of Looperman Loops!

I was bored and was thinking about a epic movie sooo...yeah...here u got it a full Cinematic Movie Soundtrack...Say what u think..........A NEED FEEDBAK ! A know...its just mixing loops together but it was really , really big fun to make this!

I'll definitely use your skillset if you're willing to go through all that to help a guy out. :) Same to you for orchestral stuff.
