The alternative to using MIDI tracks would be to use audio backing tracks (MP3) - most of these usually do have decent recorded guitars.

Regarding the raw sound, especially for distorted guitars, sometimes youвЂ™re better off using a clean guitar sound and putting it through an amp simulator like S-Gear (commercial) or Voxengo Boogex (free) - at least then youвЂ™ve got a decent-sounding guitar amp effect.Д«ut overall, if you want to achieve commercial-production quality on guitar sounds, youвЂ™ll need someone who can play a guitar at a decent level of proficiency.

There are some dedicated MIDI guitar VST instruments that try to address these issues, but programming them also becomes a scienceвЂ¦

the guitar programming in a lot of free MIDI files you find on the web is p***-poor - aside from the fact that it is horribly difficult to program good guitar performances in MIDI some aspects are just impossible to realize (different bendings, vibrato, fretboard positions, вЂ¦).What sound set are you using to play these MIDI files? You can get some mileage from better GM soundsets, but that only gets you a bit better - definitely not to radio play level The electric guitar sounds in most General Midi soundsets are mediocre at best, to begin with.In this case, IвЂ™ll have to echo comments: itвЂ™s near impossible to get good rock guitar sound from a MIDI file. I believe you mean MIDI files, not VST files - correct? I am using Cantabile as a player for guitar VST files When you say VST files- what exactly are you referring to?

Nine times out of ten youвЂ™re better off calling a guitar player and just recording him The nuances that make a guitar sound like a guitar are insane and thatвЂ™s before the infinite sound possibilities of the body, pick-ups, your picking style, effects pedals, ampsвЂ¦ It might go around the pitch, or up only, or down only. But after the bend then the vibrato is different. It starts from the root not and goes up only- a guitar string can not go lower than its fretted pitch unless you start in a bend and go down. A guitar vibrato is not a sine-wave vibrato like a synth. ThatвЂ™s damn near impossible to do in real time on any keyboard without some deep programming. Just take Honky Tonk Woman as a perfect example: In that intro you have to bend one string while not bending another in a double stop, going from a 4th to a 3rd and back. Hate to be a downer but thatвЂ™s just the case- itвЂ™s one of the hardest things to replicate via keyboards and programming. Programming anything close to a believable guitar part takes some rather sophisticated (and generally, expensive) software, lots and lots of time being super picky with a mouse, and a very good understanding of the sound youвЂ™re trying to achieve.
