I ended up finding a decent Polivoks VST on a website. I neglected the website's name. However, I do remember going on there before and finding a lot of other VSTs that I downloaded in the past. The Polivoks VST that I downloaded is called PolyvoksStation, and I have used it for a track that I have entitled "I Am Death Incarnate", a reference to a difficulty setting in the Wolfenstein games. I had a hard time trying to record this song, something was always going wrong; I wasn't in time, I wasn't in tune, I played the wrong chord at a certain point, the lack of Noise Gate in BIAS FX started abusing my patience. So as a way to combat this, I put together a backing track entirely in the MIDI format. Guitar, Bass and Drums were originally in the DOOM (1993) soundfont. However, in the final recording, I played over the guitar MIDI, so only the bass and drums are in the previously mentioned soundfont. As mentioned earlier, I also put the PolyvoksStation VST to some use on this track. However, I also used an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) synthesizer that came pre-installed with LMMS. These two synthesizers were used with the intention of filling in the "lead instrument" role. I like the idea of being able to do lead guitar. However, I think the lead synthesizer makes an even bigger difference, and I think it made a really big difference in this track.
