Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Nothing Short Of Paradise / R&B
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Catchy intro. This is probably backing tracks for a vocal tune. The piano plays a catchy melody. The melodies are very catchy…. Very thematic and drama filled. The structure is solid, melodies are featured and parts arranged well to support. The guitar sound is nice and full, in tune and pleasant.
Constructive Comments: Mix sounds a little distant. Guitars have a lot of reverb and sounds like the microphone which recorded it was placed far away and it is not a classic funky, chunky ‘R&B” sound. This tone reminds my of Dick Dale. Drum groove is lost in the mix, needs to be much more prominent.. the foundation of an R&B song is the rhythm section! This needs to be address, balanced out. Start with a nice popping drum track. Match the bass with the kick and build your sound from that starting point. Don’t let the collective sounds/instruments overpower your rhythm section. Only think about the melodies is I thought either some were too long or stacked one after another.. the lead sound kind of needed to change at some point. I am sure these are backing tracks to a female vocal.
