Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Turn It Over

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: This song is in the spirit of classic rock. The uptempo pace and instrumentation allow for a fun/happy atmosphere which is what I believe the intention of the song is.

Constructive Comments: The vocals appear to sit in the middle of track but, they don’t sound as if they are emphasized enough. The horn/trumpet is more present than the vocals are and perhaps that should be reversed (slightly increase the volume on the vocals and slightly decrease the volume on the horn/trumpet). Once you are prepared to Master, the vocals should show up nicely and the horn/trumpet should compliment the song without overpowering it.

Positive Comments: Love this track! It’s a perfect soundtrack, the arrangement is very good, the overall sound is ok! Bravo!

Constructive Comments: Maybe at 2’07” the brass are too loud…

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Tangled Up In You (Winner:”Best Instrumental”)

Reviewer: B&S

Positive Comments: Sound good, guitar line is ok, the overall atmosphere is nice, this track could be good for a soundtrack in a tv documentary or in an advertising.

Constructive Comments: It looks like there’s not a catchy theme to characterize the track, just the piano solo adds a short melody.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: But If You Should Change Your Mind / R&B

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: The chorus portion of the instrumental is catchy. Soloing that portion at the tail end of the instrumental will help to emphasize it a bit more.

Constructive Comments: In order to show the range of the song, I would drop a few instruments out of the arrangement every few bars. In my opinion, this will help the listener understand the importance of other instruments in the instrumental.

Positive Comments: very clear recording nicely done.

Constructive Comments: I was hoping to hear a bit more Instrument variation, ie maybe some horns to break it up a bit in the middle. just a thought other than that nice work.

Positive Comments: good vocalist happy tune. and the back vox reminded me of leonard cohen (deep voice)

Constructive Comments: the only thing I would work on was some of the harmonizing was a little pitchy in some places, but other than that its a fun happy tune and I liked it. thanks
