Song: On Lean

Reviewer: lacoursier

Positive Comments: I think this record has potential. Please see my constructive comments below.

Constructive Comments: Production is fire! Artist is fire! On the other hand, the mix and the sound is muddy. Also,the hook needs a simpler and less aggressive ride.I’m sort of mixed about the track as far as big sound and potential is concerned. Even if the hook stays, I would say take it to a professional engineer and let him/her maximize your sound. It may cost you no less than 600 but it’s worth it.

Positive Comments: I love the production and the artistry. The writing is nuts!

Constructive Comments: My only strike is the mix and the engineering. Don’t short cut yourself. Sacrifice and take it to an established engineer at least one time. I’m not talking about a place close to you with gear comparable to yours.I’m talking about a studio where the engineer has industry awards and credit. It might cost you no less than 600 to get a fire mix and master but it’s worth it. Otherwise,keep rocking and producing!

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Malibu Sunday-Short Intro (#1 Smooth Jazz)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Slow buildup into nice melody and chord changes, sort of get the sense of a slow building but certain change or realization.It has a modern pop/jazz feel more than classic jazz, if it were guitar I’d say it sounds similar in mood to some Pat Metheny /Gary Burton stuff, only without the instrumental virtuosity.It might get into a sound track as is.

Constructive Comments: Same as above, though I would not call it classic jazz, and unless it were programmed this long for some professional reason, like the outro of a film, or a muzak or meditation or exercise CD, it really doesn’t need to be this long.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: If You Dare

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really cool tune that makes you feel like you’re walking into an orgy or a drug scene in a movie. Great guitar work. Even some elements of prog rock. A piece like this should work well in a movie set in the 60’s or early 70’s. Good job.

Constructive Comments: Really good job.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Colorado Divide (Instrumental – from “Peak To Peak”)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very well written and arranged piece that should certainly work great as an underscore. I like how it keeps on an even keel, but at the same time has nice shifts that keep it interesting.

Constructive Comments: Nice piece.

Song: That Was Then and This is Now

Reviewer: Vincent And Friends

Positive Comments: Nice recording,liking the fiddle. A well polished band.

Constructive Comments: I was thinking it’s more country than folk rock. I am kind of new to this Broadjam process. I kind of got the story but some of it was unclear.But I have the same issues with my writing.
