BIG LOVE( Fleetwood Mac Cover) by RiGee 12 hours ago
Nice creation...Strong and driving, I likey! LOL - I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan, but for some reason my brain is drawing a blank on how this one goes!! I remember it (and that I liked it) but for the life of me, I can't hear it in my head!! Ugh!!

Opportunities [Let's Make Lots of Money!] by randolf 5 days ago
5

with the exception of some very, very, very minor tonal issues, I absolutely love this reinterpretation. The original is one of my FAVORITE songs EVER and this version zooms right up next to it. The rap is exceptional in its meaning and I love how you almost mirror PSB's rap-speak style, yet bring a fresh & original feeling to it. I can't tell you how much I love this!!

You've turned me on to the whole concept, Surak...like Feenixx, I will reserve comment until you're more into the process, but so far thumbs up!

PS: Think of me for additional dialogue or something - I'm an actor, by trade, as well as a Sound Designer, and I pride myself on my theatrical background. smiley

I don't know how old u are (you sound young), but I absolutely love it when young talent impresses me and you just did...Watch the vocals, pitch & key and such (you know where I'm talking about), but the instrument work is top-notch and the song is a lovely one. Congrats!

TTOTLOB theme by bonsushi 1 month ago

As a filmmaker, as well, I often dip into soundtrack work, too - and I know how much different it is. This piece is fluid and filled with subtle anticipation and strength. Short, but sweet...though I'd love to hear the Closing Credits theme. smiley

Sometimes - Vocal Track by Mick_Reeves 1 month ago
Bec has it right; the time spent on this one really shows...the volume level seems a little low on my listen, but that's just bein' picky. I like this alot, especially the pick-up at the guitar solo - and of course, the guitar solo.

Techno Rave by dagerman 1 month ago

I like the general direction you're headed - keep in mind, the loops here are commonly used ones, so filter/tweak/FX them until they're more your own. Less familiarity will help create a unique sound that's all you. Don't be afraid to throw everything but the kitchen sink at them...Nice beginning!

Sly Pop (Open Collab) by Waleed 1 month ago
I can sooooo see where this song is headed. The synths ride each other well, are layered nicely...gives the entire piece an almost urgent feel. Any way I can get a beat-less instrument-pella of this. I'd love to play with it...

Angelus by jolofsson 1 month ago

As usual, you don't disappoint. This is an amazing piece of work, from the hi-hats, to the beat (which grabs you from its start), to the strings and - not the least of it - an amazing ramp-up on the chorus. Favorite, favorite, favorite!!

Silver Bullet (rough mix 2) by Surak 1 month ago
5

Nice...you took it a step further, to the next level. While I respect Eido's comments, the guitars didn't sound too noisy to me, nor was the lead too loud (and I listened on my studio system and with headphones). Of course, I'm not an expert in this, it's just my plain ol' ear...I like that even with the additions in effects and guitars, the raw quality remained and the clarity increased.

"bathroom" or not, the lack of effect adds a nice raw quality. excellent effort - looking forward to future installments.

Rainbow Connection (cover) by Geechi3 2 months ago
I can't believe you covered this song!! When I was a kid, I used to listen to the vinyl record soundtrack "The Muppet Movie" (which it is from) over and over and over and over again (Yes, I was a dork)...I think you sounded wonderful, Linda, so break a leg on Tuesday (and if it already happened, CONGRATS!). Yer the best, Linda, don't ever doubt that...

Yer friend and Sometimes-Collaborator,

Sexline by 21stCenturyExpress 2 months ago
Wow, that is so awesome that you both got it! I fretted about its "spiky" sound, I worried about the vocals and whether the dynamics would blow like a breeze above everyone's heads...I'm grateful the first two commentators actually felt the wind in their face. And then, of course, there are the lyrics. Wasn't sure if I could get away with a theme like the seduction of a virgin. Interesting territory for me here...So, far everyone likes it, so thanks!

A subtle and sweetly dreamy collab...Linda's voice is in it's usual mesmerizing and tantalizing form, blending nicely with the light beat and breezy chimes. The clipping kinda bugs me (what can I say? I'm a perfectionist), but not enough to dock ya a star under Production...Kudos!

Zombies by Revive 3 months ago

Next to "Sweet" this has got to be your finest achievement, to date. From the arrangement to orchestration to the beat, you've got it covered and covered impeccably. I am speechless, except to say that I consider myself lucky -- and someday I will say "I knew you when..." (not that I know you, but at least I heard you first!!).

21

Don't Mind Me by Revive 3 months ago
