Making lead instruments stand out

You'll usually want a lead instrument to "cut through the mix" so that it is
not masked by the other instruments of the accompaniment.

Tip 1: Use the MFX equalizer and spectrum

Boosting the high-frequency region of a sound will usually produce a brighter sound that cuts through
the backing instruments. For some types of accompaniment, boosting the midrange will make a sound
stronger and more prominent.

Tip 2: Use the MFX amp/speaker simulator

These effects are a very important element in creating the sound of electric instrument like a electric
guitar. They are also suitable for sounds such as synth leads.
