| Acid Rain (Vocals open for collab) by SierraRace | 6 months ago |
| I gotta say, this is one of the first times I've listened to a vocal performance with no music and REALLY enjoyed it. You have a great voice! I like those lyrics, too... and you sing with such passion. Excellent! | |
| Personal Jesus - cover by FunkoMatt | 6 months ago |
| The bass track is nice & clean, but there's a slight hiss in the background right before the maracas come in... I'm not sure if it's on the maracas track or the vocal track. You know, it's like "white noise" or something. Since the percussion is so basic, I'd delete that track to fix the problem. Unless it's on the vocal track, which is in very fine form! Done nicely! | |
| Tomorrows Just Another Day... by RedthruNthru | 8 months ago |
| A very fine collab! Nice, strong vocals with lots of emotion... and I love that vibrato of yours. Great instrumentation and mix... the stereo panning on the guitar leads is a nice touch. Great job by all three of you! | |
| Children Of The Sea by Mark_Cheetah | 9 months ago |
| @Vlazreus Hey, it's good to see you... thanks for the props! The guy you're thinking of in Sabbath is probably Tony Martin, right? The only other one I can think of is Ray Gillen. Anyway, that's a good call... I really like Tony Martin's voice and style. I've got several songs in the works with Eric, but the music is already completed, so I can't tweak the arrangements. Unfortunately, none of those songs are by Ozzy... however, I just posted "Hand Of Doom" on YouTube so you can click my website link if you want to hear that one. I've got a Judas Priest song up there too. Thanks again for the input! |

| Bläst by Vlazreus | 9 months ago |
| Nice heavy track. Cool how you play cello & are into metal... that's a niche that's been gaining popularity in recent years. You said you didn't use a real cello... did you program a virtual instrument or something? I'm clueless when it comes to software. I agree, the bass sounds real sweet & the song is in a nice deep key. Are you looking to add death metal style vocals? Just curious. Very cool stuff! | |
| Lizard Sandwich by pharmakeus | 9 months ago |
| Very cool jam. Those pickups sound great! I like the wah... you achieved a nice clean sounding effect there. You got the delay set perfectly for those panned vocals, too... makes it a nice, trippy psychedelic track. | |
| Overland by pharmakeus | 9 months ago |
| @pharmakeus Thanks for the link... damn, those ARE expensive! Way too much for a novice player like me, lol. I looked at those setups; cool stuff. I remember those "Cort" guitars from back in the day... I never had one, but I picked up a used "Lotus" strat-style guitar for $100 once. The thing had a great locking tremolo on it for the price. | |
| Children Of The Sea by Mark_Cheetah | 10 months ago |
| @thedickhickeyband Thanks for the props, we're glad you liked it @morgan102 Good to see you, Morgan... thanks for stopping by @Project__S Thanks for the compliments... all I did was sing it; Eric did most of the "heavy lifting" on this song. Like he mentioned, he actually plays the drum parts with sticks on an electronic drum kit... the guy is amazing. Thanks once again! @pharmakeus Thanks for the props, but nobody sings better than Ronnie James Dio! LOL Eric set the tempo... I'm pretty sure it's the same as the original. The guitar solo might have stood out more if I hadn't made the vocals as loud... Eric did the pre-master so the volume was already set there. Thanks for stopping by, I always like "talking tech" with you! @rickb It's nice to meet you... thanks for stopping by & listening |
|
| I Love You, Now Go Away by rickb | 10 months ago |
| Nice melody & chord progressions... a very catchy tune! I like the "LP record scratch" effect at the beginning, too... it gives it a vintage vibe. Mandolin solo is a nice touch. Enjoyed! | |
| Evil Star by pharmakeus | 10 months ago |
| All right! A slow, heavy blues jam always hits the spot. Those solos with the wah pedal remind me a bit of Jimi Hendrix... absolutely brilliant! The other guitar parts are tasteful & cool with nice reverb... you've got an incredible guitar tone going on throughout the entire song. Tight bass & drums, strong vocals, this one's a winner! | |
| Bad Romance (lady Gaga cover) by Project__S | 10 months ago |
| Man, this is TIGHT! Nice & heavy. I've always loved the song anyway, and you really kicked it up a notch. Can't wait to hear it with vocals. Awesome jam on those instruments! | |
| Shining Star by morgan102 | 10 months ago |
| Hey Morgan, it's good to see you! Very cool how you have a band reunion twice a year. I wish I could do that... unfortunately, one of our members passed away. I'd have to lose weight, too... let me know how you managed to do it, lol! Man, your vocals are incredibly tight and well-focused on that intricate melody line. You've got serious vocal skills, my friend! Excellent! | |
| Mr. Starbright by thedickhickeyband | 10 months ago |
| Nice melodic tune! Plenty of instruments make the mix nice & "thick;" I really like the contrast between the clean acoustic guitar & the full jam when the beat kicks in. The bridge fits well, too. Nice piece of writing! | |
| Silence = Death + Smile (Drew Blood) by A1K3M1 | 10 months ago |
| Nice musical piece with an important message. I've been a fan of Robby_Reverb for a long time; he's a great guy who I've known for several years, and it's good to meet you too. I like the "mood" your musical backing provides... it's very well done. Great work! | |
| Saturated ++ by RAVENS | 10 months ago |
| Hey Dani, it's good to see you! Looks like you haven't put up a new song over here in quite some time... I heard you were over at MacJams, but I don't have an account there, so I'll hafta catch up with you over here. In "Saturated," I really loved how you started out low, letting your voice "crawl" out of the low notes with all that emotion, and when the highs kicked in, it was a brilliant transition; you have an incredible range & sing with great passion and feeling. I took notice of the stereo panning effects you mentioned with my headphones on... it's a very cool vibe that really hooks the listener in! The second song "You" is a perfect complement to the first, being so opposite. Fantastic job on those multi-layered harmonies; sung VERY tightly and mixed perfectly. Nice, "big" sound and wonderful production values. Excellent job on both songs... two top-notch professional tracks! To say I enjoyed them would be an understatement; I'm totally blown away! Awesome! |

| Children Of The Sea by Mark_Cheetah | 10 months ago |
| @Deebeesea Thanks, Diane... I'm glad you stopped by to hear this one @lifeaftersix Thanks for helping me out on this one, Eric... you totally ROCK & can play just about anything! @A1K3M1 Nice to meet you... thank you for the compliments. I'm a huge Dio fan as well @DaveM Your works have always impressed me; thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the listen @Wildhearts Hey Cutie, thanks for visiting... I'm glad you liked it @Dustwood It's nice to meet you... Eric & I appreciate the props @ShadowofNine Good to see you... thanks for stopping by. One of these days, I gotta put an original up for ya... all my originals were recorded ages ago & the sound quality is inferior, lol I appreciate everyone's listening time... thanks very much! |
|
| Asylum mk2 by Dustwood | 10 months ago |
| Yeah! Very cool stuff. I like how it starts out with the "thundering" drums before the ride cymbal kicks in. Nice, heavy, and modern sounding. That guitar sound is awesome! Is that a touch wah? Excellent jam! | |
| Do That To Me One More Time - Captain & Tennille (cover) by A1K3M1 | 10 months ago |
| Excellent! This ain't no "run of the mill cover song;" it's a highly imaginitive, innovative, brilliant work of art! I love that musical backing... the flanger effect on the guitar in the intro lends the perfect touch & sets the tone for the rest of the song. A very tight mix topped off with a fantastic vocal performance. Well done, you two! Very nice! | |
| Pales Blues by Deebeesea | 10 months ago |
| Hey Diane! Ooh, yeah... this is a very cool jazzy bluesy performance. It's a great music track & your voice adds plenty of warmth & presence to it. I love those stylish "I saids" that you threw in there, in select places. That keyboard solo is smokin' hot, and your vocals sound fantastic & they're perfectly mixed! Great job by both of you... I dig this one big time! | |
| Overland by pharmakeus | 10 months ago |
| Hey man, good to see you again. This is excellent work... tight musicianship & strong vocals throughout. I'm going to look into those Kinman pickups you mentioned... how much do they sell for? Are they available in black? I've got a MIM Strat that I customized with the "70s style" black pickguard and hardware kit (the pickup covers slide perfectly over the stock white pickups). Last time I was playing it, the hum was really bugging me. I always like corresponding with you because you really know your stuff! Anyway, nice job on the vocals & instruments. Big props goin' out to both of you! Very nice work! | |
| Arrival At The Gates by Fioretti | 10 months ago |
| Yeah! Nice, "dark" feel... this is one righteous jam! I'm a big metal fan & I like it a lot. Excellent guitar work... I love the hammer-ons near the end of the song. Very cool! | |
| I know what you want DEMO VERSION!!!! by GregDavies | 10 months ago |
| Sounds great, especially for just using a 4-track. Did you bounce many tracks? Anyway, the vocals are solid and you're a master on that guitar. Very impressive soloing... you can really shred, man! I like how the song ended on that major chord, too. Excellent work! | |
| Human Race by Nick_W | 10 months ago |
| Hey Nick, this is very cool & very funky! Sounds very "modern;" not like the sterotypical 70s funk. Excellent instrumentation, vocals, and production. Nice job to you both! | |
| Calling You by Vixen | 10 months ago |
| Hey Vicki, how have you been? This is your first time using Garageband and a MAC? You're a fast learner... this sounds excellent! The guitar track by gepo is stellar, and you added a fantastic vocal melody line to it. Beautiful vocal delivery! Enjoyed! | |
| HIGH ROLLER by KCsGROOVE | 10 months ago |
| Very nice! Right off the bat, that upbeat tempo drew me in. Nice chord progressions, especially in the "you will go down" and "your love won't last," etc hook lines. Great job on all the vocals & the production values are excellent all the way around. Enjoyed listening! | |
| Hedgehog by Trilobite2 | 10 months ago |
| Nice composition. Someone mentioned the "off" note in there & I agree; it works very well. "Porcupine" is the perfect compement to this song. Enjoyed! | |
| Porcupine by Trilobite2 | 10 months ago |
| This is cool... I like those strings. I'm gonna have to take in a listen to "Hedgehog" next. Nice job! | |
| Children Of The Sea by Mark_Cheetah | 10 months ago |
| Thanks for stopping by & listening... Eric & I appreciate it! @Little_Hooligan Thanks for listening, Joyce... especially because you've heard it a bunch of times already! I don't remember if I used a chorus or a doubler... I know I was experimenting with both @robby_reverb Thanks, Rob... ya gotta turn these kind of tunes up to 20! LOL I loved both the Ozzy and the Dio eras of Sabbath @Trilobite2 Thanks for checking this one out @KCsGROOVE Thanks for stopping by, Eric & I appreciate the props @woofer3 Thank you... Nick_W and I did "Immigrant Song" a little while back @Vixen Thanks, Vicki... Eric & I are glad you liked it @that80sboy It's funny, I was just looking at some photos of those old Dodge Darts the other day! I remember getting smoked by one in my Firebird... those 340 powerplants were killer. Thanks for the listen @Nick_W Hey Nick, it's great seeing you again. Thanks! @GregDavies Thanks very much, Eric & I appreciate it. Dio has always been one of my favorites |

| She Said Destroy (Death In June cover) by robby_reverb | 10 months ago |
| Hey Rob, good to see you! I'm not familiar with the original song (or the band), but I'm a big fan of your voice... and that guy plays a mean piano! Those additional vocal overdubs near the end are flawlessly executed & mixed in perfectly. Very nicely done, my friend! | |
| Like You Want To by Naaji | 10 months ago |
| I like the ethereal sound of your voice, and I've always been fond of the long delay echo effects like you used here. You have beautiful vocal tone! I enjoyed this track very much! | |
| please save me (2011) by that80sboy | 10 months ago |
| Great job, man... I like this a lot! You really know the 80s genre in every way, shape & form. Excellent use of effects & that mix is fantastic; the "waves crashing" effect fits in perfectly with the lyrics. Nice attention to detail! | |
| be kind to a killer by woofer3 | 10 months ago |
| I hadn't heard of that criminal case... you're in the U.K., right? You should see the media frenzy going on here in the USA over the Casey Anthony trial. Crazy stuff. Anyway, this is a very cool piece, and it sends a strong message too. Very well written! Those vocal harmonies are tight as can be, and I loved the acapella part near the end. Great work all around! | |
| Hush Little Baby by RubyDubidoux | 10 months ago |
| Wow... that vocal melody grabbed me right away; it's brilliant! VERY creative and very cool use of that classic nursery rhyme. Great musical track & I love your clean high vocal register, Elaine! Excellent job by both of you! | |
| Go With The Flow by irok | 10 months ago |
| Sounds good, man... I like your stuff a lot! One of these days I'm going to take you up on that offer & add stuff to one of your songs (when time allows, lol). You got a nice clear pumpin' track here... nice job! | |
| we're not gonna take it by irok | 11 months ago |
| Very cool! Have you heard Twisted Sister do the Christmas song "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" in the same style of "We're Not Gonna Take It?" It came out a while ago. I'd like to collab with you some time if you need a singer. Nice job, man! And of course, fight the power! LOL Cheers! | |
| PopKnowledgy by RetroTrend | 12 months ago |
| This sounds awesome... a great mix with thumpin' bass & clear highs. Joyce's vocals fit perfectly in there, and I love that note at the end. Big props to you both! | |
| I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) (Cover) by Deebeesea | 1 year ago |
| Hey Diane! Good to see you over here! This song is really hard to sing... I've always wanted to take it on, but I've been putting it off because there's easier ones I could work on first, lol. I like your rendition a lot! It remains true to the original, yet feels like it was made for a female voice... sounding a bit like Cyndi Lauper might have done in the 80s. You raised the pitch, right? VERY well done by both of you! I love the keyboards & the drum fills. And you sound really cute doing the "no, no, no" parts in the outro as the song fades out. Big props goin' out to you both! Enjoyed! | |
| Black Sabbath by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| @Wildhearts Hey Babycakes! How's my favorite chick doing? It's great to see you here & I'm so glad that you came by to visit. Thanks so much, Hon! *HUGS* | |
| When Heaven Comes Down by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Kathy! THERE's my favorite Country Gal! How are ya, Hon? It's so cool that you stopped by to see me here. Whaddya mean you're a "listener?" You've got a mighty fine voice if I do say so myself! Thanks for visiting! *HUGS* | |
| When Heaven Comes Down by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Thanks to all for your input... it's appreciated! @pharmakeus Thanks for the tips on using the compressor... the 3:1 ratio you suggested has been working very well for me! |
|
| Here Comes The Night by scarforlife | 1 year ago |
| Excellent stuff here! Fantastic vocals & instruments, killer guitars, and brilliant production values. I really like how the song "builds" as it goes along, and the guitar solos at the end are amazing! Very impressive work! | |
| Roulette by Curran_P | 1 year ago |
| Nice to meet you! Hey, creepy is GOOD. I like this a lot... you wrote a great vocal part that really captures the listener's attention. That, coupled with the great mix & crystal clear sound which makes the lyrics easy to understand and fun to listen to. Excellent job singing the melody, AND the harmonies. Very nice! | |
| Flowers by irok | 1 year ago |
| Yeah! This track definitely has that aggressive Punk sound & style to it. Makes me wanna jump into the pit & do some crowd riding! Great stuff! | |
| When Heaven Comes Down by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for the input, Eidolonia! If I were to do that song, I'd rather collab with someone anyway. There's some very talented people here! But it's good to know that those tracks are allowed with the proper licensing. Thanks to everyone for listening... Eric & I appreciate it! |
|
| [LiesToChildren] Horizon by Eidolonia | 1 year ago |
| Man, this is fantastic. I just heard the last song, so I figured I'd stop by here to hear the first one. The sound you have going on is incredible! I especially liked the breaks with the drum fills near the end of the track. Excellent! | |
| Black Horse & The Cherry Tree by DaveM | 1 year ago |
| Man, this ROCKS! I gotta agree with Joyce... your rendition is on par with the original. You did an incredible job... your voice is awesome the way you sang those bluesy notes. A nice, tight performance... when the bass kicks in, it's like a kick to the teeth (in a GOOD way)! An excellent, hard-hitting flawless performance! | |
| The Boys of Summer by DaveM | 1 year ago |
| Oh, yeah... this is an EXCELLENT rendition of a great Eagles classic. I love the slowed tempo arrangement, the "big" sound of those ringing guitar chords, and those vocals & harmonies are fantastic! Cool... a "Led Zep sticker." I was waiting for that part to come up! LOL I wasn't much into the Greatful Dead either (or Black Flag). Hey, how's that Squier Vintage Jazz Bass? It's the one with the maple neck and the block inlays, right? I was looking at those recently... they're pretty inexpensive, and it's a gorgeous looking bass! How's the quality? Is it as good as a Mexican made Fender? I might want to pick one of those up. Thanks! |
|
| The Only Way by Figurochi | 1 year ago |
| Nice, upbeat song with a catchy melody. I like it a lot! Re: miking amps, that guitar sounds great! I'm basically computer illiterate and "old school," so I really like that photo you put up. Gotta love those Roland/Boss pedals! Backing harmony vocals fit in nicely near the end of the song. Very cool! | |
| When Heaven Comes Down by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Thanks, everyone... I really appreciate the listens & comments! Eric, you got so much sustain in your guitar, it's like an unstoppable wall of sound. I love it! Thanks again for hooking me up. @DaveM Thanks, man! I love Dokken. I saw them in "Monsters Of Rock" with Van Halen and The Scorpions. As for "Alone Again," Eric is altready swamped with requests! LOL I could sing it for you no problem, but I'd have to use a prerecorded backing track... and they don't allow those here anymore. You know, a (cough) karaoke backing. Are we allowed to SAY that word around here? LOL! I'll stop by later to check out some of your work. And hey, if YOU want to play Alone Again, I'd be happy to collab on it with you! Thanks again! |
|
| Love Unrequited by Vixen | 1 year ago |
| Hey Vicki... how have you been? You know how much I've always liked your speaking voice, and this is no exception. Very nicely done! I like the "mood" conveyed by this piece! | |
| Black Sabbath by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Thanks, everyone! @Trannyman Man, I was devastated when Ronnie passed. He was the bomb. I appreciate the listens! | |
| The King of Elfland by LaFayette | 1 year ago |
| Very cool stuff! I like the vibe... great keyboards, arrangement & production. The guitar strum halfway through and near the end is a nice touch, too. Enjoyed! | |
| groom of the stool by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Hey there, it's nice to meet you. Great track! I love your voice... those harmonies are fantastic. Excellent composition! | |
| TICK TOCK by KCsGROOVE | 1 year ago |
| Nice funky sound goin' on here. A very fine composition, and flawless execution... congrats to both of you! | |
| I Believe (Collab) by RubyDubidoux | 1 year ago |
| Hi Elaine! This is a nice, catchy tune. Love those melodic hooks! Nice vocal harmonies, too... LOTS of multiple parts mixed in very well towards the end there. Great job! | |
| molly magnificent! by that80sboy | 1 year ago |
| Great soaring vocals with that "signature" 80s sound... paired with those synths, you've got a winner here! Nice vocal harmonies, too. A very tightly controlled performance! Enjoyed! | |
| All the Young Dooods (David Bowie Cover) by Baboon | 1 year ago |
| Great job, guys! I love the instrumentation and the multiple vocal tracks. Nice & tight! | |
| [LiesToChildren] Road by Eidolonia | 1 year ago |
| Yeah! Man, how do you get that SOUND? Sounds like you're playing through a thousand Marshall stacks and I'm sitting right in front of them. You have awesomely rich, full sound going on everywhere... from the instruments to the vocals, paired with thundering drums. I'm a huge metal fan & I love this! What note did you tune down to? Is it a low B? This is a first class, outstanding production all the way through. Excellent! [EDIT]: Oops... just saw your reply to malekey. Looks like I got all the answers regarding the tuning & sound. Once again, fantastic work! |
|
| Hand Of War by Vlazreus | 1 year ago |
| Yeah! This rocks, man! Definitely has that Slayer vibe going on, but with better bass playing. I love the tone of the distorted guitars... you cut the mids, right? Just the way I like it... nice & heavy. I thought the drums sounded fine, except for one short fill near the end where the tom toms sounded a little weak. But I loved the double kicks and the cymbals, especially the ride. Awesome job! | |
| Paperback Writer (The Beatles Cover) by Tony2008 | 1 year ago |
| Hey man, how are ya? What cha talking about, you don't need voice lessons! The vocals are awesome... I love the British accent you put into it, and the multiple harmony parts are sweet! Nice high-register singing towards the end there. Great instrumentation too. Very nicely done! | |
| Love is the Only Thing by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| I love that funky bass groove, and paired with the ambience of your sweet voice, it's fantastic! The overlapping vocals that start around halfway through the song really "fill out" the song as it builds. Well done! | |
| Chatterday by robby_reverb | 1 year ago |
| Hey Rob, how are you? This is awesome... I love the "speaking in tongues," and the beat behind it adds to the madness! VERY cool stuff, my friend! Enjoyed! | |
| Still in Love with You by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| This sounds great... not a song I'm familiar with, but it's very cool. That lead guitar really "sings;" beautiful work on those solos! That BFD program looks cool... can you pick different drum sizes and colors? Although I have no idea how to do drum programming, I might look into getting that program just because it LOOKS cool, lol! Nice "thundering" drum sounds in those breaks, and your vocals sound gritty & powerful. Great use of dynamics! Enjoyed! | |
| Diamonds and Rust by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Hey Chris, this is excellent! I love the multiple layered guitar parts... the one on the right channel with the delay really thickens up the track; you did a fantastic job mixing all those parts in perfectly with the stereo panning! I've always liked this song... I'm a metalhead, so I'm most familiar with the Judas Priest version, lol. Thanks again for the help with setting the compressor; I noticed you set it to -21dB in this song. Sometimes I cut it down to -30dB... is that advisable? Thanks... and once again, great work! | |
| When Heaven Comes Down by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Thanks, Joyce! Eric really did a spectacular job on this track, getting the perfect sound just like the original. If I didn't know better, I'd swear George Lynch was the one playing guitar, lol. He even got the DRUMS to sound like the exact same style as the original! Hey, you know more than one Dokken song, don't you? I remember you talking about "Alone Again" once. Thanks for always being there for me (and for hooking me up with Eric)! We appreciate the compliments! | |
| Rat Race (Original) by Cinderella | 1 year ago |
| Hey Cinders! Oh, yeah... I remember this song of yours... I first heard it when you had it on another website; it must've been close to two years ago. And I remembered it because it's such a catchy tune with great hooks in it! Didn't you have it up here sooner? It's A-list material! Great job by both you and Trev... this is a JAM! | |
| Creep (wRex) by RubyDubidoux | 1 year ago |
| Hi Elaine! Now, THIS is an arrangement that one wouldn't normally expect... but you two made it WORK! Very creative, and your voice sounds great... I especially liked the high register parts. I would've preferred it without the cuss word, though. LOL! Great job to you both! And it's great to see you on the front page, Elaine! | |
| Zombie by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Hey there, this is a VERY cool rendition! I liked the drum beat, which was something a bit more interesting than the "standard 4/4." I liked how the vocals got more intense towards the end. Nice job! | |
| My Life by GaryLester | 1 year ago |
| Hey, nice to meet you! This is a very fine example of a song with great "structure;" there's plenty of room for lots of melodic hooks. I agree with the people who said the vocals need to be "beefed up" a bit... pharmakeus gave some good info on using a compressor. I really liked this one... great job! | |
| Good Times Bad Times (Led Zeppelin Cover) by Tony2008 | 1 year ago |
| Hey Tony, it's nice to meet you! Man, you kicked butt on this track! I used to play this tune (well actually I used to sing it while the other dudes played it, lol), so I sure know how tough the bass licks and the double kick pedal parts are. Those bass runs are awesome! I especially like the 2nd cutoff run... you got a great, punchy roundwound sound goin' on there! Awesome guitar solo, too! Hey, let me know if you wanna collab on anything... I like your style. Cheers! | |
| Black Sabbath by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
| Thak you everyone, for your listens. I appreciate it! Yeah, Tony... I love Soundgarden too & agree that they got that nice, heavy sound; especially when de-tuning the instruments for songs like "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage." Glad you liked the "flames getting higher" part, lol. Thanks! |
|
| Maria by QueenKontroller | 1 year ago |
| This sounds fantastic! You played the instruments? Excellent job on all the parts... and it's a great mix too. Joyce provides incredible vocals, including the BVs. When that chorus part kicks in, it gives me chills! VERY nice track... expertly performed! | |
| Leviathan w/Randolf by RubyDubidoux | 1 year ago |
| This is a very cool song... I like the "marching" feel it has. Those vocals are beautiful, and I like the way you have the echo set to repeat in the verses. It's actually a very brilliant way to mix the vocals... they really "drew me in" as I focused on the backing parts; and the additionnal effects sound amazing! Excellent job to both of you! Enjoyed! | |
| Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin Cover) by Nick_W | 1 year ago |
| Thanks to all for listening & for your input! Sorry I haven't been around lately... been having vision problems. Special thanks to Nick for allowing me to be a part of it. You ROCK, my man! | |
| Black Sabbath by Mark_Cheetah | 1 year ago |
Thanks to everyone for your listens!  ExplodingLove, I always use headphones. I've got crummy little speakers otherwise, lol. Thanks for listening! |

| Weak In The Knees by Cinderella | 1 year ago |
| Hi Cindy! I've been trying to log onto this site for days, and I finally have a decent connection today, so of course I'm going to check out your latest! It's so cool how your son can put together the instrumentals for you. He sounds great on guitar, and you delivered a knockout performance on vocals! Especially the 2nd half of the song, the way it "builds" and you delivered those notes with emotion and power. Excellent job! Hey, I have a new song up, a collab with Nick. You told me to let you know when it was posted, and I think he put it up last night. Thanks! Once again, you rock! | |
| Doctor Doctor (UFO Cover) by Nick_W | 1 year ago |
| Hey Nick, my computer is finally working today, so I figured I'd grab a listen to another one of your songs before my connection craps out on me again, lol. Man, you have a great voice! You could've done Immigrant Song all by yourself but I appreciate you bringing me on board. This is a mighty fine vocal performance! Awesome job! | |
| You Don't Want Me, But... by Naaji | 1 year ago |
| Hi, it's nice to meet you! I love your voice... you sing with lots of emotion; very sexy! I like the effects, too. Nice job on this track! | |
| Time is the Greenest Arrow by JimTheObscure | 1 year ago |
| Very cool! You definitely got the John Lennon sound going on. Cool guitars, too. Nice job! | |
| TWIST OF FATE 2 by KCsGROOVE | 1 year ago |
| This is a great sounding track... the production is fantastic! Well written and well performed... I'd say you definitely succeeded in getting a great feel to the song. Nice! | |
| With You by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Very cool track... I like the instrumentation, the vocals, the "spacey" vibe. Nice work! | |
| So Much More (Original) by ExplodingLove | 1 year ago |
| Lyrics don't HAVE to rhyme... as a matter of fact, I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't mentioned it. The way this song is structured, it definitely works out fine the way it is! Very nicely done! | |

| Yeah! Right off the bat, this song "grabs" you with that rhythm. Very cool vocal melody, too. Great work! | |
| In Your Eyes {Acoustic Cover} by RAVENS | 1 year ago |
| Hi Dani... I haven't seen you in ages! I see you had to add an "S" to the end of your user name... that sucks. Same thing happens to me, and my name isn't even common... I had to go by "MarkCheetah2" on YouTube! Of course, the people who grab the names first are nowhere to be found, so they're not even getting any use out of it. Grr! LOL Anyway, it's been a while since I've heard those great pipes of yours. Those multiple harmony parts you put together are mind-blowingly awesome! Your voice is always so strong, accurate, and full of emotion... I especially like the way you sang the "in" in "I reach out from the INside" differently in different parts of the song. I've always liked this song, and this is a fantastic arrangement & rendition! That dude provided a great guitar backing for your fine vocals. Excellent! |

| Hi there, it's nice to meet you! When Country & Rock collide, a lot of good things can happen... and this is one of them! This is a very nice track... I love those melodic hooks. Great job! -Mark |

| Laid by James (cover) by livelargemusic | 1 year ago |
| Hey there, this is excellent! Nice strength & up-front presence in the guitar & vocals. I'd heard the original version of the song a long time ago, but didn't know the name of it until now. Great work! | |
| Mad World (W/Bjarne) by RubyDubidoux | 1 year ago |
| Hi Elaine, it's nice to meet you! Wow, this is an incredible version of a very cool song. I love the multi-layered vocals mixed in perfectly and those harmonies are smooth as silk! The ending is haunting and very creative. Bravo! -Mark |

| Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin Cover) by Nick_W | 1 year ago |
| Hi everyone, thanks for checking this one out! Nick, you did a fantastic job... those guitars sound like an unstoppable wall of sound. A nice, tight, full-sounding mix! It was an honor to supply the vocal duties; feel free to call on me again sometime. Cheers! | |
| Mind Of The Wonderful by Cinderella | 1 year ago |
| Hey Cinders, how are you? I haven't seen you in ages! Oooh, look at you... steppin' out of the box like that! I like it! I can't remember the last time I heard you do a dance song... didn't you do "Hella Good" by No Doubt once? Anyway, this one is really cool... I love the additional "sweeping" vocal effects with the panning, and that reverb gives it a nice, "airy" quality. Great job to you both! | |
| He was a Geek with a Guitar by Vixen | 1 year ago |
| Hey Vicki... wow, this is a top-quality sub. I know what you mean about trying to get vocals with the "authentic" Country sound... I think it's something people are born with, lol. In any case, your voice fits in there perfectly; you delivered an emotionally "fun" performance, and you really sold it! A very well-written piece... major kudos to all of those involved! (edit) I love that photo you put up, too! |

| Love Burns From Within by robby_reverb | 1 year ago |
| Hey Rob, it's great to see you here. I agree with Joyce... lots of "power punk" and I love it! The singer you remind me of here is Mick Jones. Great stuff through & through... you're multi-talented! | |
| Truck Bomb by Woden_Thoth | 1 year ago |
| Great stuff! I like the modern feel & that guitar really cranks. Very cool! | |
| You Turn Me On (Original) by Cinderella | 2 years ago |
| Oooh, Cindy... this is fantastic! I'm lovin' the beat & the sultry sound of your voice. Those background harmony voices are superb, mixed in just right. Hey, you never told me your son uses a Boss recorder! Which model is it? I have the BR 1600. Did he actually play the drums, or use the drum machine on the Boss unit? Because I need someone to teach me how to use it, lol! Soundin' great, Cinders... you get top honors! |

| Dance of the Dead (resubmitted) by Vixen | 2 years ago |
| Hey Vicki! 'Bout time I got around to checking your stuff out... it's good to see you here. Ah, there's that haunting voice I love so much. I really liked when the vocals kicked into stereo. If I may say, you're looking very hot in that photo too. Bravo! | |
| How You Remind Me (cover) by Henno | 2 years ago |
| Very nicely done! I really like the sound & the tone of your voice. Personally, I'm a volume freak & I would've liked to hear the vocals cranked up louder throughout most of the song (tonestones above gave some good info on running the vocals through a compressor/limiter). Those things can be tricky to use, and I'm still figuring out how to use them myself. Great job overall! | |
| Should I go (1986) by khu | 2 years ago |
| This is very good... an excellent production from start to finish. I love those multiple vocal harmonies! | |
| Paparazzi by roxout | 2 years ago |
| Hi Amanda... I really like this song, and I've been listening to a lot of different versions of it lately; and I must say, your version ranks at the top! Your voice is suited perfectly for this tune, and the job you did on the mix & effects is perfect. Can you email me a copy? Thanks! |

| What You Are by roxout | 2 years ago |
| Hey there Amanda... I've already told you how much I love this song of yours, and it sounds even better at a higher bit rate! Fantastic work all the way through... simply amazing |

| Black Sabbath by Mark_Cheetah | 2 years ago |
| Hey guys! Just letting you know, I didn't play the bass or the drums... all I did was the vocals. The drums & bass were on a prerecorded track I had gotten a hold of. It's funny... I had a strange feeling that one of the strings on the bass was out of tune. If I could go back, I would have rather had Eric lay down the guitar work first, and then sing to HIS parts, rather than the bass. Anyway, Eric... I don't think you had the easy part... I wish I could play like that! |
