Andrew Aversa of Impact Soundworks has published the second part in a series of tutorial videos on how to produce a classic metal track with virtual guitars and drums.

Using Shreddage 3 Rogue, Andrew demonstrates how you can make realistic-sounding lead and solo guitar performances.

Are your virtual guitar leads sounding flat and lifeless? In part TWO of this song breakdown tutorial, composer & Impact Soundworks owner Andrew Aversa shows the key writing, performance, sequencing, and editing techniques used to create realistic virtual guitar lead melodies and solos.

You can use these techniques for ISW instruments like the Shreddage 3 series but they also apply to any other virtual guitars.

Visit Impact Soundworks for more information on the Shreddage 3 series of virtual guitar instruments. The project resources for this demonstration (MIDI, snapshots, XTC preset) are available to download for free.
