Epitome of Destruction [Symphonic Metal]

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

This is an OC theme I did last year for a user on these forums. It's a symphonic metal piece.

Critique is wanted!

It sounds fine musically, but here's some more technical critique.

 

The guitars sounded a bit fake to me. You may not be able to do anything about it, but it would sound a lot more realistic if you use a better VST, or even real guitars.

 

There's a whole lot of clipping in some parts of the piece. I'd suggest reducing the volume in some of the tracks in your DAW.

I heard the clipping so I ran it through Audacity's find clipping feature. Each line on the clipping track is a point where clipping was detected.

I ran it through it too and realized too late that I had the VST volume up. The distorted guitar I use on my VST is not well made. It's the only sound that could be improved on my VST. Thanks for the critique.
