That 'tutorial' is pure crap and the end result is nothing like the original.

Does anybody have the manual for Z3TA+? I can't seem to find it anywhere. My leads are coming out entirely in mono and I'm sure there's a simple fix to it that I'm missing (which is hopefully in the manual).

Edit: Nevermind, it seems that's just the way it is. There's always cloning layers and hard-panning them.

anyone has some tips for making leads? i've tried a lot and tried to layer but it always comes out like shit.
i suck badly at leads and i want to improve but i can't really find anything useful on youtube.
i pretty much only use sylenth1. any other goods vsts (i got massive,dune, harmless etc but no idea how to use them properly).

my goal is to make something that sounds like the scantraxx artists leads sounded like in like 2009-2011 (like wp - resistance or bioweapon - how can i say it). in other words, euphoric leads for euphoric melodies.
here's an example of how my leads usually sound like:

The first thing u can do if u not are so good at making leads, is only make one lead that sounds good. Later on when u master making a good lead then u can start layering and so on. Layering is really fun, but can be hard to.
U gotta test with different leads and the glue them together with eq and so on, be creative ;)

Heres some lead layering i did only with Sylenth1 and Z3ta+ :

In what way does trying to show-off your lead help him? I'm sure he's heard countless leads before, so posting yours does nothing. Besides, the lead sounds crap anyway.

He's not a hater, just a bit more harsh then the other, but trust his judgement since he knows how to produce :)
