The acoustics seem to have a little too much air/presence. How are you recording them? They're played well, but the way they were captured is a little harsh. You could try some notching and maybe a LPF to fix it.
I think the drums don't fit the theme well. If you want that arena rock sound, the samples you're using don't quite work out, especially the snare and crashes. I personally think you'd be better with a jazzier/dryer kit and maybe using side stick on the snare as opposed to head/rimshots.
This one is a personal gripe, and I know it's petty, but the fret noises kill my ears. You can probably use automation to reduce them, but they're always distracting to me.
Keep it up, man!

I haven't heard a better lead guitar, honestly. Second to Shreddage AFAIK and IMO is Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry, and I think Shreddage trumps it on rock leads.
I think Prominy's V-Metal is pretty decent in that regard.
Like I said, I haven't heard a library match the rhythm articulation in Shreddage really. I could just have a sensitive ear about the leads since my main instrument is guitar.
But this is a cool update. One of my friends uses Shreddage II a bit for prepros. I bet he'd love to see this update.

It's not a synth, it's a sample-based instrument.
I'm aware, sorry for the misnomer. I meant libraries actually.
Edit: Like I said, though, this is definitely the go to if you're using VSTs for rhythm guitars. I don't think I've heard one as accurate yet.

But seriously, this is one of the cooler guitar synths for rhythms. The leads still sound so unnatural to me. Great for prepro. -
Not too familiar with Garage Band's capabilities, but you could always use an SF2 loader and a Genesis soundfont.

Have you considered trying Reaper?

Hello all! First of all, I'm new to the forum. I thought it'd be nice to meet some musicians with some similar interests since most of the musicians I work with aren't too much into video games.
I wanted to share a quick Super Mario Bros. cover I made a while ago and re-recorded recently. It's just a quick metal version of the Underworld theme from the Super Mario All Stars version. One day when I was waiting for my computer to do something, I was playing with my guitar and kind of came up with this fun little quickie. It's only about 40 seconds long, but maybe some of you might get a kick out of it!
