Reviewer: Denis Hackett

Positive Comments: Nice Tune. Pleasant, even if a little sombre, but that what the blues is all about.

Broadjam Artist: Jon Babb
Song: As My Heart Beats

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: Wow … this was truly excellent

Constructive Comments: I could go on and on about this piece. It was very nicely done except the vocalist needed to be featured a LOT more…. turn her up a lot

Broadjam Artist: Chip Salerno
Song: Mysterious Apology

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Constructive Comments: Dont have any criticism…. nice piece

Broadjam Artist: Patrick Dude
Song: Listen Remix #4

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: I liked a lot of tings about this piece of music. I liked the effect on the lead vocalist, it fits the song.

Constructive Comments: The effect is great but a bit overdone at times. in contrast the bass sounds like it was direct recorded and could use some compression to get it to blend with the track.

Broadjam Artist: Laura Adamowsky
Song: Lucky Stars

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: This was a very nice piece of music. The singer has an excellent voice… I mean really excellent. I can easily see this piece being used for a number of things.

Constructive Comments: There’s a setting on most digital reverbs that enables you to have the actual reverb start later by a few milliseconds…. I would turn that up so the singer sounds more like they are face to face singing to you.. and the reverb trail falls of in the distance instead of being so featured and up front. This would give the recording more space and openness while featuring the singer even more.

Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: Nocturno

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: This is an excellent piece. I love the melody, and the arrangement. This was an wonderful piece of music

Constructive Comments: I did not like the sounds (piano or strings)… this is too good of a piece of music to have this quality of recording. Invest in Keystroke piano sound, and Spitfire Audio (strings)… this piece would sound like a live symphony….

Broadjam Artist: Chip Salerno
Song: Trespasser

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: This was excellent… I sat in the edge my chair throughout the whole piece. Youve done a great job at creating tension and mystery with this piece. Wow… very nice. I want to hear more of your stuff

Constructive Comments: prefessionally recorded, sound was great, music was great … um I cant find anything to complain about

Broadjam Artist: Jon Babb
Song: It’s a Girl

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: This was excellent. For me this would be an excellent theme for a television show or movie. Very nice.

Constructive Comments: The whole thing was excellent… perhaps the only thing I wouldve done different is to lose some of the reverb on the piano so it stands out more.
