Getting energy into leads

[donpablo]

Some of the sounds are not doing the job they should maybe ?

The midlow range is very poor aswell.

This tune needs something more,to drive you thru.

Thing said above,like eq/compression are important aswell.

Ditto on using distortion. At the source of the sound itself, try making it soft if that makes any sense.

Using a saw/square wave, try to filter out a lot of the highs and quite a bit of the mids. Then start piling on some distortion. Play with the low pass filter to get the sound you are after. Also try layering up your leads. Send them to a bus. Use an eq to filter out the lows and compress to taste.

Also try doubling the notes. Sometimes I tend to duplicate the notes over 2 or 3 octaves.
