 Hey, Robert. I needed another lesson in soul from you. Here it is! Thanks for sharing. You taught me how to barely breath when singing softly -- just letting the body and soul's residual pnuema make the gentle resonance. I tried it on a kneeler in a church pew and it worked. When it comes to shouting it out, you are among the best. You cry out without being abrasive. Keep going. I got a chuckle from the Google ads at your music portal: Ads by Google: RC Models - RC Cars Nitro - RC Plane - RC Truck |

| Aroró Serembé by dirigent | 1 month ago |
Simply excellent. This is powerful. Even though it is a sleeping song, it kept me awake! Can you post a translation of the words? |

| Layla 2.0 by rcandrews | 5 months ago |
Robert: Good to hear you exude again. It's been awhile since I have been here. Sorry to hear about your brother. I would like to hear your voice drier with less doubling or chorus effect -- but that is based on one listen on diminutive iPhone speakers. I'll never forget the musings, collaborations and smackdowns at MJs. |

| Rejoice by rcandrews | 1 year ago |
| You always did like doin dat thang. Good to hear from you gain, RC. Lots of air and tin in the song. I like organic. Can you add some earth tones? |

| Planet of the Strings- for LA Scoring Strings, VSL Horn, Harp and Flute by dcoscina | 2 years ago |
Good control of the gamut. Energetic, yet evocative. Keep pulling those threads! |
|
| Crazy Heart by Luca | 3 years ago |
I'm happy, too, with this collaboration. I may revisit the lyrics and develop a stronger chorus, prompted by a Nashville writer. Thank you all. |

| Santa Baby (Linda version) by Geechi3 | 3 years ago |
OSW: One-derful and sweet! Sounds like it was recorded in the 40s! Merry Christmas to you! Richard Schletty (a primeval MacJammer going "under cover" at iComp) |

| Hittin' The Road by Dadai | 3 years ago |
It was excellent fun making this virtual band song. Better than a slice across the left temple with a band saw, or better than acidic comments in an out-of-control debate. Sometimes, you just gotta hit the road when the itch gotta be scratched and your freethinking takes you to distant pubs. |

| Ich brech' die Herzen der stolzesten Frau'n by dirigent | 3 years ago |
Very nice period room, Andreas. You have re-created the moment! |
|
| 5 Minutes With DADGAD by MessengerBoy | 3 years ago |
Wow, Not bad for a one-pass recording. Begs to be sung over. |
|
| Spin Around and Over by MessengerBoy | 3 years ago |
 A bit tentative but in a good way. Probing. Looking in dusty corners in a vacant house for signs of consanguinity. |
|
| Holy Holy (For ddball) by MessengerBoy | 3 years ago |
| Yes, honest and present. Thanks for sharing this. Good guitar work. How does one learn how to play like that? | |
| Late Night Sax by Dadai | 3 years ago |
Oh, you know that I love that silken sax sound. There is some "air" in this recording which gives it an urban atmosphere ("I have left the dance hall and am heading for the tracks") ... Very good. |
|
| The Blue Angel by dirigent | 3 years ago |
Andreas! This is superb, absolutely natural and in the moment. You have solved some of the compression/editing artifacts that were present in your earlier multi-track recordings. Did you change hardware or software to achieve this? Gimme a hint! A wonderful melodic thread with perfect Barbershop-styled harmonies. Talk about vocal execution! Excellent diction and perfect pitch. Relaxed exudations, even in the higher register. |

| HFH Mvmt 3: Knock Upon Your Door by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thank you so much, Andreas. David and I are pleased that you like this movement. The line "grace and truth in the eyes of the mute" came from meeting a severely handicapped young woman earlier in the day, at the funeral of the daughter of a family friend. Though she could not speak, her eyes revealed the light of God's grace and uncomplicated truths. | |
| Solitude / Soledad by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, Ambraduna. David will be pleased to know you connected with his experience. | |
| HFH Mvmt 1: Overture to Transcendence by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, friends, for your generous comments. David will be very pleased to read these. | |
| Ultraoverdrive by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thanks, Mungo. Yes, I knew I was uploading too much at once. But I've been away from iComp for a long time and wanted to get my best songs up. It's OK if a couple get masked or delayed. Good to hear from you again! |
|
| HFH Mvmt 7: Lifting by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thanks, feenixx. Your comments are encouraging to David and me. | |
| HFH Mvmt 5: The Joy of Grace by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, Mr. Herrmann! | |
| Tell me why by KCsGROOVE | 3 years ago |
| Good song, KCsGROOVE. Relaxed rage. Your voice is mellow and engaging. | |
| Solitude / Soledad by rschletty | 3 years ago |
| Thank you all for commenting. | |
| Tenor Sax Reflections (35 years later) by Dadai | 3 years ago |
Applause, my friend. |
|
| Last Sail (The Goodwillys) by Dadai | 4 years ago |
Jack turned me into a sailor with this song. Ahoy. |
|
| Freezer Brain by TEXASFEEL | 4 years ago |
Good thing you pulled out your old Peavey Fury. What a treat for us all. Warm and tubular. |
|
| Trampolines n' Tambourines by rcandrews | 4 years ago |
| Thanks for activating the download, Rob. | |
| Trampolines n' Tambourines by rcandrews | 4 years ago |
| Ha! Bill, I didn't think you were listening. Drop me a line. I got a new song for us to do -- you, me and Rob. | |
| Trampolines n' Tambourines by rcandrews | 4 years ago |
| Thanks again for all your comments. Next time I mix for Rob, I'll lower the reverb. I did the best I could with what I got from Rob and Bill. Bill's git track was already way too wet. Is there a deverb plug-in available for LE7? LOL. | |
| A Song For You by Luca | 4 years ago |
| Thank you all for your comments. Luca is a superb songwriter and player. I really enjoy adding words to his songs. Vive le Italie! [How is my Italian?] | |
| Sleep, Baby, Sleep (multi-language a cappella medley) by rschletty | 5 years ago |
| Thanks, Edgextreme! | |
| A Final Moment - Video by drakonis | 5 years ago |
On the edge of day-turning-night, land-turning-ocean, hustle-turning-introspective. Very nice, gentlemen. Thanks for sharing. |
|
| In Darkness by katchoolik | 5 years ago |
Go deeper, Katch. There's a nice bottle of Fresca at the bottom of the well. Nice tune. Jazzy space music with some Oriental colorings. Yes, I'm fine. Real fine. Say hi to FF. |
|
| Sleep, Baby, Sleep (multi-language a cappella medley) by rschletty | 5 years ago |
| Thx, Fromano. I'll send more upstream soon. | |
| Sleep, Baby, Sleep (multi-language a cappella medley) by rschletty | 5 years ago |
| Thanks, Euphoria! | |
| Thou Art More Lovely by Dadai | 5 years ago |
Of course I like this! I used to be a stranger to Shakespeare until I started singing his sonnets. Thanks, Jack, for a superb concept. |
|
| Sometimes I Want to Go Home by Dadai | 5 years ago |
Good stuff. Your music is engaging. Speaks from the heart. Nice beats and guitar strikes. And the harmonies -- superb! Moody Bluish. |
|
| Drawn Into The Light (remix) by Dadai | 5 years ago |
Wonderbars! You guys made this groove groovier. |
|
| Keep On Running (remix plus) by Dadai | 5 years ago |
No less than excellent |
|
| Autumn Within Reach by LiamWalds | 5 years ago |
Well, it really gets cranking at about 3/5 mark...after the first faux fade. I like Euro Trance, esp. with voice. Are you thinking about adding voice? Stomps well in sections. Interesting change-ups in texture and beat. An organic foundry. Full range of emotion. |
|
| In Your Dreams (w mint01) by rschletty | 5 years ago |
| Thank you, Nemo, iamOpen and Skean. Karl, Hendrik and I appreciate your remarks. | |
| Look What's Coming by rschletty | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for giving our song a listen. Glad you like it! We're working on a remix now. Some slight lyric changes, plus tighter guitar work...with dashes of electric lead. | |
| Midnight Coffee (with lyrics) by Luca | 5 years ago |
| Thanks, ramzar and fromano. | |
| The Old Red Box by Luca | 5 years ago |
Luca: Now this is my favorite song! Thank you for letting me add to your already great soundtrack and your wonderful concept about a long-ago love. |
|
| Midnight Coffee (with lyrics) by Luca | 5 years ago |
From the first moment I heard your awesome soundtrack, I knew that some coffee-loving words needed to flow over it. I hope I have added a little more steam to an already rich and hot brew. Thanks for sharing your music, Luca! |

| Aliens Are Dancing on the Milky Way (the music video) by Joanna | 6 years ago |
Joanna: This is very catchy and well done for your intended viewers. I can also imagine this being performed in an adult night club with a person in an alien costume playing at the piano....or some such nonsense. You have such a warm and engaging voice. One might call it "authentic". I regret not being able to hear a high fidelity soundtrack of this. The video compression makes it sound a bit hollow. |
|
| Like As The Waves by Dadai | 6 years ago |
| And I appreciate it as well, Dave! Thanks for commenting. I think we're getting better with age...like fine wine. I started my pop music career at age 50, so I have plenty of ambition and ideas. Jack Miller's lyricism has been instrumental in my path toward making cool songs. We are thoroughly enjoying our "Postludes Trio" collaborations. | |
| Going to the Club - fortified by rschletty | 6 years ago |
| Oops, I didn't mean to select "only loops". Thanks for pointing that out. With live guitar additions by David Gomez from Spain (recorded on a Yamaha 16 multitrack), this is more than half non-loops. I penciled in my own MIDI stuff in Logic Express, getting rid of most of the original stock Apple TUMi loops. Plus, my voice is not loopy at all. | |
| Going to the Club - fortified by rschletty | 6 years ago |
| Thanks, Dave. Glad you like it. I'll have to look up Echo and the Bunnymen. | |
| Tell Me by Mystified | 6 years ago |
Sil-VER and Mystified...what a combo. Could be a soundtrack for a new international love story-thriller flick. |
|
| I feel alive by lilichi | 6 years ago |
Maybe if the uplifting soundtrack and depressed monotone vox sounded like they were in the same soundspace, I could start to get a better integration of the irony intended. The music is much more ambient than the dry vox. The lyrics aren't too bad. Some of the lines might be rhyming for rhyming's sake, but other lines are gems. You could have the lead voice progress from quiet despondency to raged shouting, or vice versa...something to engage and sustain the listener. I know, this is just a quick fun thing. But it could be much better with a few tweaks. Like maybe add some chorused voices that provide a "bridge" from the suicidal lead singer to the party band next door. The chorus could be singing a "feel alive...want to die" riff that echoes the lead. As such, maybe this is OK after all. It's as if the person is sitting on the toilet in a dance hall bathroom, momentarily disengaged from the world, squeezing out her last bit of sentiment while the band plays on. |

| Photogenic ATC Mix by alanatomic | 6 years ago |
| Cool song. Easy going. You are not below amateur. | |
| Electro zak no.15 by electrOwOOd32 | 6 years ago |
| Totally liquid refreshment from an early Mac...didn't think it was possible. I'd call it SproingTime. | |
| Watery Eyes by joachim | 6 years ago |
| Very cool collab. A slow and delicious simmer. | |
| Reasons To Get Weary by Dadai | 6 years ago |
| Fantastico! I love this song. I get weary just thinking about how much I like it. | |
| The Beauty of All Things by rschletty | 6 years ago |
| Thanks, Magnus. David and I appreciate the listen and your comment. | |
| Crisis Queen by andyfox | 6 years ago |
| A very snappy and motion-filled song. Good collaboration. | |
| Trampolines n' Tambourines by rcandrews | 6 years ago |
| Thanks to all who made such positive comments about the song. It took me a while to get a bead on the song when harmonizing my voice and mixing it, but it was certainly worth the effort. It is a song with heart and soul. | |
| Mr. Ford #2 (w/harmonica) by rschletty | 6 years ago |
| Thanks very much, jfmac. I will consider your suggestion. | |
| Breakout by rschletty | 6 years ago |
| Thanks, Tiler. | |
| Dreamville (vocals by rschletty) by Luca | 6 years ago |
Great song, Luca. Man, I wish I had a voice like that. Wait! It is me! I'm still looking for Dreamville. My kids are hungry. Richard |
