| A Captain's Carol by herrsolera | 2 years ago |
| A Captain's Carol is a very powerful blend of familiar melodies, the symphonic/bombastic, raw power and excellent sense of sound. In its moments of grandeur (the opening), of joyful lilting melodies (1/3th on), of atmospheric soundscapes (1/2 way through), this medley is masterfully done. I'm not familiar with all the tunes, but this composition just makes me want to get up, and, with the biggest grin you've ever seen, go outside and play in the snow  Awesome! |

| [Shadows] Eternal by Eidolonia | 4 years ago |
| I love the tempo changes and those subtle keyboard parts. And that repetitive riff is... epic. Although perhaps one more element can make it more engaging. On the pleasantness scale, though, it's up there. That last bit reminds me of Edguy's "Vain Glory Opera" (the song). Good job! | |
| When the Machine Stops by livatlantis | 4 years ago |
Thanks, guys!  @herr: Yep, others have said too; perhaps I should trim down the reverb quite a bit on both the vocals and that little bridge. I really wanted to bring the guitars up a little, but all I have for the rythm and drums is a single mixdown from years ago. So can't adjust volume for just the guitars. Thanks for a detailed response - really appreciate it! |

| Black Mountain Poet by Rusticalia | 4 years ago |
| It's amazing how just one acoustic instrument can contribute to creating this mood; the minimalism really works, this song is beautiful! (I love how you use rests/silence as an instrument almost) | |
| Collaboration-Himalayan Trance by DavidBowles | 4 years ago |
Being from the land of the Himalayas (although I've never climbed or come close to a mountain, sadly), I must say the chanting is very impressive! Tibetan monks, of course, sing very deep and low: the intro chanting comes very close. And with the drums and strings and whatnot... wow  |
|
| Sidewalks by Rusticalia | 4 years ago |
| It's nice and serene; kinda reminds me of a lazy Sunday, in a hammock, in the sun, half-awake, pretending to read Reader's Digest. Just add Carla Bruni on vocals and you've got something here. | |
| Here's to the Gentleman by herrsolera | 4 years ago |
| Fantastic!! Traces of Savatage as well. Very epic (I love epic!) and meaty (worship meaty), with hints of Kamelot too. Not a fan of growling, but it really went with the atmosphere. The violins give the song it's character -- amazing collab! The whole build up, the different 'settings' almost, and a sort of orchestral coming together of it all. I love it! Great work, guys! |
|
| He's a Pirate (Klaus Badelt Cover) by herrsolera | 4 years ago |
| As a fan of the Pirates soundtracks (and movies, of course) and the work of Badelt/Zimmer: wow! It's simply amazing that you did this in GarageBand. It's very close to the original indeed! Definitely a favorite. Ah, now you've got me wanting for a cover of Zimmer's 'At World's End'!  |

| My Heart is Huge by vegetal | 4 years ago |
| Don't ask why, but I think this would be great backing for a bank robbery scene in a movie. Very funky! |
|
| Atomica by vegetal | 4 years ago |
| The atmosphere is awesome - thick drums, nice melodic guitas, a smooth production. The vocals are understandably a bit distorted. Nice song! | |
| Engage After Six A.M. by vegetal | 4 years ago |
| Very headbang-able indeed Love the old, dark sci-fi world feel to it. I'm actually thinking this would make excellent music for Unreal Tournament Nice! |
|
| Influenced Virtuality by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Yeah, a couple of people have suggested that and it definitely sounds nice. (Maybe even with the two pans on either direction, and one in the middle that flanges a little). Looking forward to the CD - I'm excited. I do normally do fast songs, but hey, I'm open to anything. | |
| Santa Claus is Coming by mindcontrol | 5 years ago |
| I really enjoyed this! lol Love the intro guitars, the modified chorus, warm back vocals. Very danceable |
|
| Come Together (Cover) by paragsatyal | 5 years ago |
| Love the mix - it's got an old, rough feel to it. Very Beatlesy! And very funky, very smooth The "bass" solo, and your signature squeaky guitar solo is definitely you (is that a bit of reggae I hear there?) lol. This would be fun live! |
|
| Influenced Virtuality by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Hey, thanks! Those are some real nice comments. Guitars, going up! |
|
| The Aliens are Breeding With The Humans by artist08 | 5 years ago |
| Got here from the iComp newsletter. Very different type of music from what I'm used to, and I enjoyed it, especially the spooky atmosphere. The production's top-notch. Distant. Definitely spooky. | |
| Influenced Virtuality by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Ah, thanks jayman, that's definitely something to look into. Cut down the mids, up the bass and maybe a little on the other end too. Got it! |
|
| Voices Elsewhere (ADE) by becwil | 5 years ago |
| I love the natural texture to your creations. Really, this makes me stop and wonder. Not exactly sure what about, but I get strangely curious - perhaps it's the weird "creature-like" sounds and the percussions. Other world music. | |
| Time Will Tell by Baboon | 5 years ago |
| Quite an experience - thoroughly enjoyed it! The atmosphere is built up excellently. I love the epic. Inspiring, Amazing! | |
| Influenced Virtuality by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Hey Rebecca, thanks. Most other tunes sound okay, it seems to be just this and a couple others. I have no idea why, but I'll see if a few tweaks will fix it. When I mix, I worry sometimes of distancing the riff and the solo, so I keep the solo slightly low. And a lot of people complain about how the vocals take a backseat to the guitars, so I tried not to do that here, although maybe you're right - the guitars could be brought up a little. |
|
| Puzzle game song by Haioni | 5 years ago |
| I really enjoyed this! Reminded me a little of the Lion King DOS game. Very fun. |
|
| Rewaken by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Glad you enjoyed it! |
|
| Technology Override by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Yep, Kathmandu's much much different now than it was in 1993. Politically very unstable, you're right, and we're all hoping things get better. Anyway, thanks! |
|
| A Day... by node64 | 5 years ago |
| I like the riffs. This would be nice when you're out on a drive |
|
| Cold (3 of 5, Adverse Elements) by becwil | 5 years ago |
| Sci-fi flick material. I really like it, very atmospheric. And I like those clicks in between. Would work really well for video; really builds up an environment. I love it! |
|
| Dreams to Illusions by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| lol Thank you. I like power-game-music! | |
| This Christmas, Yourself by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Thanks, Rebecca! I shocked myself with how little guitar part ended up. That's normally what leads other songs. Glad you like it. |
|
| Rewaken by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| A longer version... maybe I'll try that. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. @surak: I wonder, is that '777' in your name a reference to the aircraft? |
|
| All Knowing - Revised by 4arms | 5 years ago |
| I enjoyed it, it's got a nice flow And it's pleasant to the ear. A bright sunny day comes to mind, with clouds to indicate a change in mood and feelings ("there's somewhere else I'd rather be" . Nice! |
|
| Flying Free by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Great! Looking forward to having a blast myself! |
|
| Shades of Tomorrow by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| @becwil: Yep, the future is now! (Two seconds ago, lol!) @surak777: Ah, didn't get that. Should I try more delay time on the solo tone? And thanks! |
|
| Technology Override by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Yep, it's ridiculously useful. And, considering you can edit the notes once you've inputted them if you like, a great tool when doing short particles like this one. | |
| Daemon by Shred | 5 years ago |
| Very headbangable! Love the riff and the solo sound. What did you program the drums in? |
|
| one by AbramHollon | 5 years ago |
| A highly trained group of experts getting mission-critical work done with suprising ease and fluidity. That's what 'one' brings to mind. The early high string notes and chimes signal something potentially tense taking place, the ambulance sound calmly hammers that that idea of urgency. The repetition of that sound, however, distracts from this effect. I like it! Tense, fun and cool. |
|
| 07 Incidental Music by electrosketch | 5 years ago |
| Deep and profound. Has an air of mystery to it. It's like looking at the skies at night with a child-like wonder for everything. Nice |
|
| ultimate limit by SebastienGabriel | 5 years ago |
| Loved it! A fun song, I like your playing. And the effects, too (reminds of Sonata Arctica and Luca Turrili). I love the modern sounds complementing the classical - percussion-wise and with all those weird effects. The bass stands out, keeps that "classical" feel going (I like the tone). The smooth sound in the middle I like. Come to think of it, Steve Vai's "Building a Church" also comes to mind. And Europe too, maybe. About all these fragmented sentences - I try to get my thoughts down as I hear the song, so... *ahem*. Ah, that last riff. Sounds like something Kai Hansen would include. There are so many things I love about 'ultimate limit', although I'll admit, I don't exactly follow the whole thing (those crazy keyboards, for one, freak me out). Great tune, great parts and rather eclectic I'd say (even heard what sounded a bit Eguptian, lol). Fantastic. |
|
| Signs of Relief by macdude02 | 5 years ago |
| I like the smooth (yet, somehow tense by the contrasting leading guitar sound). The percussions work very well, nicely blended. The lead, though, seems somewhat out of place at a few places. I love the moody guitar tone. Driving alone on a cold rainy day amidst unmerciful bright lights and the rush of an unforgiving city. I enjoyed 'Signs of Relief'. I think it's a very visual tune. |
|
| Timeless by danman4961 | 5 years ago |
| Floating. White light. Amazing. On a sea beach? After-showers feel? Alone, starry sky above? "Life is amazing" sort-of atmosphere. Amazing. |
|
| Rewaken by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Hey Oliver, thanks. I think the drum sounds here are better than my last mix (although this was played earlier), so yep, definitely learning |
|
| 03 UFOs Over Lebanon, IL by electrosketch | 5 years ago |
| Mysterious. Slightly disturbing. Chaotic. I love it! I can easily see this being used in a nice movie scene: Some person exploring his fragmented thoughts real deep, or someone about to do something insanely dangerous. Great! |
|
| Rewaken by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Hey jayman, glad you liked it. Yep, a lot of Particle Engine will be as short. It's a sort of experiment, but there are longer, full-length type of things too. |
|
| Call of the Wild by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for listening |
|
| Metal_13 by capa | 5 years ago |
| This song keeps turning up on my iTunes playlist and I find myself listening to it quite often. It's amazing! Melodic, smooth, exciting. This takes me to a different place altogether |
|
| Hate by megatrash | 5 years ago |
| I like the "confused" feeling it has - switching from structured 'wide' riffs, to smooth, more free-flowing solo-y ones. The guitar sounds like it's in control; the breaks in between allow to take a breather after a barrage of chaotic riffs. In a word: great! Melodic, chaotic. I love paradoxi! |
|
| Deliberation Intoxication by talesoftwo | 5 years ago |
| Scary! And nice I like how it develops. |
|
| Dreams to Illusions by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for the favourite Thank goodness this doesn't have chipmunks running for their lives lol. A new song in a day or so (it's already done). Thanks again! |
|
| Call of the Wild by livatlantis | 5 years ago |
| lol Spontaneity inspires the craziest ideas. Including not being able to come up with any words at all (Thus, all the "la la la, ki ki ki's" lol). Glad you guys enjoyed it! (GB's vocal transformer is amazing) |
|
| Dreams to Illusions by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Got it! Thanks, I'm working on a more harder sound... a thump. That's definitely something to think about for my other songs as well. | |
| Dreams to Illusions by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Well, if its a major change - adding keyboard the entire length, for example - then I'll add it here. Else, if I'm only working with the sound, but the same content, I thought it would look disorganized to have version 1 and 2. | |
| Dreams to Illusions by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| I'll try some more reverb on the drums and see how it sounds. After taking suggestions from iComp, I plan to upload updated version in my website soon, so the improved versions can be got from there later. Thanks for the tip! |
|
| Dreams to Illusions by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| @MadScientist: Thanks If you have any suggestions for those emptier parts (repeating riffs), I'm open to ideas @yogi: More bass on the drums? I don't follow... |
|
| Metal_13 by capa | 6 years ago |
 This is really nice! You're performace and style's really nice. The riffs, the solos - they're all excellent and the production's top notch. It's got a "feel" to it, and I like it. Did you program the drums, or are they recorded acoustic? Either way, it's really nice! The opening drum tracks didn't impress, but as I listened on... it's really great! Awesome job! The name of the song could have been better I can learn from your music. |
|
| Memory (Revised) by Licostic | 6 years ago |
It's ambient. I'm really liking this type of music I like the flow of it, and the smoothness... and how its so calming. Obviously you've put a lot of effort into it and it shows; it's really amazing! I'm going to download this for my Library. Congratulations on a great song! |
|
| Beyond the Bold by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Hey wampwamp, thanks for listening. Yep, the vocals were pretty experimental - modified Arena Rock for it! Some parts come out... well, distorted.Judas Priest! Wow, that's nice to hear lol Anyway, I tried that multiple track tip, with the same thing in both tracks, except with different reverbation. It sounds better |
|
| Beyond the Bold by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Hey! Thanks for understanding I appreciate it. And for the tip as well. The strange part is that when I recorded the guitars - I hadn't even tuned it to standard! Adding bass and keyboard would be difficult; that's why they're not there. lol! I'd love to hear more of your music, I think you've got a great sound. |
|
| War Machine by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Thanks! Well, a motorcycle! A car came to my mind because there aren't many Harley's here, but hey - a league of bikers speeding across this touch path with the sun burning as a backdrop. We've on to something here lolI'm listening to "Death Rock", it sounds great! I'll comment on it once I have a full listen. |
|
| War Machine by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Thanks A commercial would be awesome! Imagine... War Machine at the background and a car doing all sorts of stuns. Don't know what the product could be but lol... you got me thinking |
|
| War Machine by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Thanks I'm working on my second. |
|
| War Machine by livatlantis | 6 years ago |
| Thanks I'll try to have my next song longer lol. I'm really amazed by the guitar effects I can get with GB. I mean, when I played this, I plugged in a clean guitar! Thanks for the comments |
