Song: Days Without You / Rock & Roll
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Pleasant song to listen to, leaves me feeling fulfilled and stress free…. I forgot about my day listening to this song. Strong melody with the song building nicely and more by the end it hooks you. Slight Metheny vibe :-))
Constructive Comments: Mix seems to be a little bass heavy, needs eq cut around 80hz to 315hz. Bad edit and the groove skips at :55, really pay close attention and try to tighten up all the production and recording blemishes. Sounds a little old, hiss at the top, I can’t help commenting on production things because it is an important element, bad production (this is not bad but could be better) inhibits the listeners ability to ‘hear’ your song properly. I feel like the melody is more prominent in the end than in the beginning… more layers or it is doubled… perhaps just mixed louder at that point and I do know how when recording you might get into it more and play with more feeling and intensity as the song progresses. Normally I will ‘dog’ a programmed drum track but this was done pretty well, it’s grooving… only the same fill over and over every 4 bars… I know, you’re working with what you have. With a more ‘chillin’ drum track this song could set well in the jazz genre… live drums would change everything here! Best of luck, you have a good sound and I like your song.
