Use a real guitar. Even Slayer sucks the big one (although I have heard some pretty good stuff from it in the right hands). Blood overdrive & Plucked? Pfffft.

As in "use a real guitar". Seriously.

What you need. I could try and play it for ya. I know the guitar stuff. Like virtuosos, trembalos, arppegios. And I can play pretty good way up high on the little tiny strings too.
If it's a plugin you really want, about the best one I've listened to was Virtual Guitarist.

Seriously though if you've got it scored out I could give a crack at it and throw the wavs back to you.

how the crap do you get soundfonts to work on FLStudio 4.5?

I can load them into the SF player, but i can't seem to get them to make a sound.

Fruityloops blows man. You can't make good music with it. Get Propellerhead's Reason 3.0 and Cakewalk's SONAR 4.

 :nyd: Don't you be steppin' to my FruityLoops.  You tell him, Rob!

Honestly, though, Face, FruityLoops isn't what you're going to want if you want to write metal, unless you're just using it as a writing tool to then give to people in your band.  If you're doing that, I'd use a preset from Slayer and just work with that -- it's been working for me and my band for the last year or so.
A sophism of madness...

Heh.. i've been bending FL to write progressive rock for at least a year and half now. You can make some good stuff with it.

Still, how the FUCK do you get soundfonts to work (i.e. make sounds) in FL?

It's a guitar plugin that comes with it after a certain version.  If you don't have it under "Plugin presets," update your version of FL.
