After researching a number of these specialized tools ("The Key", etc) I got one of these Red Bishop "intonators" last year, and not only does it work great, it's a high quality piece from Japan. Highly recommended! https://www.amazon.com/RED-BISHOP-ACCU-LOCATOR-Intonation-Adjuster/dp/B07NST2LSB

I gotta say something about these 1176 guitar pedals that have been making appearances recently: The UA 1176 is and traditionally was a studio piece of equipment used on tracks in the studio (I have UA 1176, Waves CLA etc DAW plugins myself). Rarely, they were used with a guitar plugged direct...

GGD's samples are excellent. They're available in different packs for different styles (some signature artist drum sets, some "One Kit Wonder" sets, etc). Uses the Native Instruments Kontakt Player (can use the free version as well; I do) for DAW interface. They've got rock, hard rock and metal...

Killer drummer that Rockenfield is. Yeah, didn't get close to the snare sound; very unique tone.

This was a lesson in drum sculpting with heavy compression... as is usual, I grab a MIDI drum track (or make one), slap Get Good Drums kit on it and shape from there.

The "final" final. For now... :lol: Manually (via evil MIDI grid) added a bass line and synth. Remixed, EQ'd etc

There's also Gullfoss by Soundtheory but it has more of an avant-garde (non-standard) mentality. https://www.soundtheory.com/home

Done! This is the culmination of my "step by step" posts. Major improvement over my last version done 7 years ago...

Mix / EQ tweaking; improvement in clarity:

Solos added; doubled in most places during main solo. Other pieces added. Still have levels and EQ fine tuning to go. This is a quick render

Some mixing EQ compression tweaks. Added dummy solo bits for tone and spatial (Eventide) testing

Full tune foundation done; rhythm bed(s) made. Added extras.

A few more hours of practice... much better. Building pieces. 1st half Adding "drums" & strummy guitar in 2nd half (epic solo goes here) 2nd half
