| Very cool... I love your co-host. Knows just when to come in with the perfect comment. You've got a wonderful voice... Happy Hour: I'll take a margarita. Or mojito if it's not real lime juice. |

| "Drop D" 'tis, Mori. Thanks. | |
| Diablito by mbehar | 2 years ago |
| Been awhile, Mori. I'd either forgotten or had never heard your guitar work. Sounds great, man, as does everything else about the tune! Is that a hollow body? Nice relaxed vibrato...sweet. |
|
| State Trooper by Dyl | 2 years ago |
| Tunes like these don't really need polish. Not like the subject matter's very polished. Raw and to the point. Great delivery. Like your playing, too. | |

| Great piece. The contrasts are striking. The vocals are lovely. Serious synth work. Hmmm... "Seriousynth"... Time to make an entry to Wikipedia. Bravo, Andreas! |
|
| Ave verum corpus 2009 by schubertiad | 2 years ago |
| Wonderful thing, being able to compose and record in the comfort of your own home. Add to that the ability to experiment with voice timbres using this vocal software. Amazing... Beautiful piece. Well crafted and from the heart. Agree with others here, about a live setting. Got a cathedral and chorus handy...? ![]() Actually: that's not so flippant. Works like this deserve to be performed. |

| Nice 'n dirty...straight ahead stuff...might think about some lyrics and electric guit fills...love the fade out guitar at the end...would you consider working that into more of the song? Sunday afternoons can be so rewarding... |

| It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over by padowan_learner | 3 years ago |
| Well...I'm listening on some ok computer speakers. And it rocks! I can imagine how it'll sound in a stage setting with big ol' speakers boomin' it out...awesome. I love the electric guit coming in and out. Very dynamic sound. Powerful piece made all the more so with the variations in dynamics. Very cool... |
|

| NO MEDICATION by KCsGROOVE | 3 years ago |
| In my world, music is the closest we can come to expressing the inexpressible... Nothing is as inexpressible as the loss of a loved one... You work your craft with your emotions extremely well. Kudos. |

| Hey, man...this is great...just superb in every way...the lyrics are just sooooo great... "...I hope you don't mind..." ....indeed |
|
| Triple Trouble by gitapik | 3 years ago |
| Hmmm...looks like he deleted the original from here and MacJams (I spend time there, too). Too bad. It was sweet. He used the same sound bed with OneSweetWorld singing this over it, before he asked me to put my two cents in. Here's the melody I based the solo on: http://www.macjams.com/song/32628 Hectorious sent me his rhythm track (drums/percussion/bass/rhythm guit) and I put the lead over it along with a couple of fills. I used both the Floyd Rose and my hands for the vibrato. Used GB for the lead tone (which really surprised me...nice stuff). Glad you said that about the "speed" angle. I agree: it's really important to mix it up. Otherwise there's nothing to compare to. And I love the sustain on the electric guitar. Shades of "Spinal Tap"... Thanks, Eido... |
|
| 12-String Jam by Eidolonia | 3 years ago |
| My brother was a wonderful 12 string player. I grew up to this sound. You've "got the knack"...and open tunings are lot of fun, as you obviously know... I'd put this under the "World" genre...cool tune... |
|
| Zoomorphisms - The Dragonfly by soulima | 3 years ago |
| Once spent a morning watching a dragonfly shedding it's cocoon, letting it's wings dry, and then just taking off over the lake...like it had been doing it all it's life... This is sweet... |
|
| Zoomorphisms - Tiger Shark by soulima | 3 years ago |
| They are nasty critters, they are...eating machines... ...extremely well conveyed, here... This is great stuff, man... |
|
| Zoomorphisms - Wild Turkeys by soulima | 3 years ago |
| This is just waaaaaaaaay too cool... Great instrumentation...I'm in love with the bass clarinet, as a rule... |
|
| 2.30am (921) by 921 | 3 years ago |
| This definitely put me in a lot of different places...but nice and gradually...beautiful, spacious piece... | |
| Then the Rain by gitapik | 3 years ago |
| It's tricky getting it right for everything from headphones to a big subwoofer. That's why I'm hiring a pro for some of my mixing and all of my mastering. I'll be putting out a CD in the fall and I want it to be "right". Thanks, Eido...and, "yes", I've got lots more. Even some electric. I'm not around as much as I'd like to be...but we'll be talking about each other's sounds as time moves on, I'm sure. ![]() |
|
| [Cover] Shroud Of False by Eidolonia | 3 years ago |
| I can relate about vox...I just started doing them again after decades of hibernation (not to mention writing lyrics). It's a whole 'nuther thing, recording the voice. Can also understand your reluctance with reverb. Tricky to find the right mix. Cool tune, though...not familiar with this band, but you obviously know the genre. Sounds great, man... |
|
| [Shadows] Romance by Eidolonia | 3 years ago |
| Bittersweet...no need to apologize for the playing...sounds as it should...pulls at the heart... | |
| Then the Rain by gitapik | 3 years ago |
| Thanks so much for taking the time out to comment and the kind words. I'm having a rough time with the eq on this...but will be taking it to a "pro" tomorrow (along with some other tunes) to work on exactly what you're talking about. Thanks again...I'll be visiting your "domain" soon... ~Bob |

| Theme for a Poor Man's Wizard by padowan_learner | 3 years ago |
| I heard Drakonis' version and was blown away...this did the same thing to me.. I love this... |
|
| Baroquen Cymbalism by padowan_learner | 3 years ago |
| This would be and absolutely incredible piece to see performed live... Great sounds...so much happening... |
|
| The Heartbeat Of The Ancient Forest by feenixx | 3 years ago |
| I really love the mix of this. Very much into the sparse instrumentation...carries the theme very nicely. I'm also with you on leaving out the compression and "mastering"...this sounded nice and airy... |
|
| Between Green Sleeves by gitapik | 3 years ago |
| Yeah...I've got some nice Dunleavys and a subwoofer. Real nice system. It's really about having it loud enough to catch the nuances...realized that last night. *Doh!* Sounded great at a louder volume. Thanks, feenixx. Bob (who doesn't do ratings, either) |

| Great collab, guys. It's so up and in the pocket...cool licks, too. | |
| Water and wine by KCsGROOVE | 4 years ago |
| Organ's a real sweet touch in this. Slides in and out of the rhythm consciousness. Nice groove/guit/vox/lyrics...songwriting's real sweet... |

| If The Sun Came Down by pete | 4 years ago |
| You play the guitar very well...and record it beautifully, too. Great voice...enjoyed this very much... | |
| Walking Alone (in desperation) by pete | 4 years ago |
| +1 on what's already been said...vox, lyrics, and guitar add to an already beautiful tune. I really like when the bass comes in and the added effects afterwards...really fine, subtle builds... | |
| Goodbye Friend by Lapotu | 4 years ago |
| Love the tune and production. Trumpet's a nice touch. Vocals? Reluctance is understandable...often from genius. You've got a fine, fine voice, Jackie...sounds great on this...besides the notes, you seem to understand the music and are coming from a very nice place, which is so important and difficult to teach. | |
| Wayfarin' Stranger by ScottCarmichael | 4 years ago |
| Beautiful rendition, Scott...of a wonderful tune... | |
| 13 11 07*1 Guitar by telo12 | 4 years ago |

| Happy Pappy by gitapik | 4 years ago |
| I've always loved Leo Kottke's work. He's brilliant. Interesting "gypsy roots" comment. I'm a big fan of flamenco...cool that you hear that in there... I'm glad you enjoyed this... |
|
| Heroines, Villianesses, and Chairs by padowan_learner | 4 years ago |
| That should be a nice musical...can definitely visualize it with the music/chairs/shapely figures...best of "break a legs" with it...cool score... | |

| Lazy Heart by Audiogasm | 4 years ago |
| Designed a lesson plan to this...thanks...beautful piece... |
|
| Sad Songs & Dreaming [band] by Bob6stringer | 4 years ago |
| Great craftsmanship with sound. I'd say it reminds me of The Band...but it's got your own unique sound, too. Production's spot on, as are the performances and lyrics. Kudos, man... | |
| Next in line by KCsGROOVE | 4 years ago |
| Hot tune...I love funk. Used to play in a band that did some... I'm real new on the production end...so can't say what to do in that line...I would say, though, that I'd add that guitar. Keep it flat (taper the 10 band eq into a V shape...very low mid) (sorry if you knew that), and in the background. Rhythm funk guitar's huge, IMHO, when it comes to keeping that funky drive going. Couple of lead fills, too... I think this rocks. |
|
| Cause it's funky! by Mr_Red | 4 years ago |
| Love funk...this is funk...the horns came in exactly where they had to...cool vox and key changes... | |

| Choir of Cosamet (Remixed) by toveco | 4 years ago |
| This is really nice. Calming melody with a wonderful texture. | |
| Tryin' to Get it Right by gitapik | 4 years ago |
| Thanks for the comments, folks. Glad to have a positive reception... I have to take responsibility for the "hot" vox (yeah, baby: they're HOT!). I'm really, mainly, a guitarist/composer...truth be known. Just gotten back into singing/lyrics in the last year after a decades long absence. And recording myself is even a newer endeavor. Sooooo...when ziti sent me the completed mix, I sent it back, kindly asking him to raise the vox. He did so without complaint ...probably because, as a Red Sox fan, he knows how stubborn us Yankee fans can be. Who knows? It's funny...on my stereo speaks it's fine. Headphones can be a problem, though. Have to give it some attention. Thanks for the welcome... |
