Wow, Paj: thank you for all these suggestions. I really appreciate it! I will look through them...

I have the full version of Kontakt. I see so few options out there in this price range that I doubt you could find all the different styles you're naming. Feel free to prove me wrong though!

I play guitar too, and I would rather use a real guitar, but I don't currently own one, and I'm currently on a shoestring budget. Thanks for the bump!

That's an amp simulator, right? I'm looking for a guitar VST, by which I mean a virtual electric guitar that can be played with a MIDI keyboard. I don't currently own an actual electric guitar, so I have to try and simulate one with a MIDI controller.

I'm looking for a decent electric guitar VSTi that fits the following two criteria: 1. It needs to be Kontakt compatible. 2. It has to cost less than $75. ($50 is even better!) Any suggestions? Thanks!

What exactly is "side chain ducking"?

Thanks guys, that's helpful.

I'm using Logic Pro. What do you mean by "clip" gain? Are you saying to go through manually and adjust the gain in each region of the track until it's even? I thought there was a way of automating it, but maybe not.

Basic newbie question here. I'm laying down some vocals, but in some parts of the song they're a little too loud--louder than in other parts. So my question is: what are some ways to even out the vocal levels?

Thanks for your help cyrano, I appreciate it.

First of all, sorry for posting this question in Recording Techniques: I couldn't find an appropriate forum to post it in. (Is there a "troubleshooting" forum or something?) Here's my problem: I was listening to one of my songs recently, when suddenly the sound just cut out. I don't know why it...
