Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Living in the Trees
Reviewer: Junior Murrell
Positive Comments: Alot of greatthings in this song. Like the vocal texture, the tones used in the instrumentation. Good choice of sounds. Chorus gives the song a kids show feel. Texture of the Rhodesish piano vamping against the bass is cool. Nice use of guitars. Overall a nice piece.
Constructive Comments: Production need to be ‘beefed up’. The compressor can be be heard sucking the life out of the instrumentation. Would recommend sitting with an engineer to get a good understanding of compression. The drums have lost their depth – hi hat sound like it’s sidechained to the vocal and ducking. Would recommend revisiting the mix. Strip back all the effect and start again with a solid drum and bass track then build on those with your grat instrumentation. Wish you the best with it.
