Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ICE MARCH (instrumental)

Reviewer: Andre Bomtempo

Positive Comments: I liked the composition itself . Its not very complex but it has an nice epic touch and remind me of some cinematics for games, for example.

Constructive Comments: I think the mix could be improved, but before that, some work has to be done to the midi programming. The transition between the notes are too harsh and sounds like midi too much in my opinion. Some tweaking with the velocity and modulation of each note could improve the tone. Some notes have a too high velocity and it cause the note to stand out too much in the mix (mainly highs and highmids). Also a better “glue” to the mix in general may help.

Constructive Comments: Everything done very well

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Jezebel’s Theme

Reviewer: xchak gearz

Positive Comments: What we have here is a church organ playing over some fake drum sounding kind of thing. It sounds very un-professional, and this time the track scared me!

Constructive Comments: I think it would be best to just make a new song instead of trying to fix this crazy sounding mess of a track. Sometimes the organ goes off timing with the drums, and like I said it soundslike it might be their first ever try at making music? Very scary indeed.

Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: Borrowed Time

Reviewer: xchak gearz

Positive Comments: It was a little bit scary at first, because I thought it was some kind of easy listening weird soft pop rock kind of song, but then the song kind of grows on you the more it plays.

Constructive Comments: The sax parts sound kind of nice and fit the mood of the track,the chorus fixed up a bit and make it more catchy/stable, because as it stands right now it sometimes sound like a scat or just not strong enough of a melody line for a/the chorus.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Illinois (Selsky/Dunkle)

Reviewer: xchak gearz

Positive Comments: The 3rd hook towards the end (not the very end but just before the very end) where he says take me home was the best part of the track The intro, verses and chorus need some work.

Constructive Comments: The arrangement was ok, and the vocal could be mixed a little bit better, because some times it hard to understand the lyrics/words. With some work, I think it could be more listenable and interesting. Also at times the track seemed a little bit busy music wise, and could be made a bit more simple, and that would bring out the lead vocal more.

Reviewer: Kevin Leon Smith

Positive Comments: Can I use this for my voicemail, please? Your use of the message is what makes the arrangement so great! As the song continues, so does her discomfort it seems! Your choice of instrumentation and to mix the levels to match the quality of the message impressed me. Even though the actual message was longer/shorter, I would like to think that it happed this way! Verizon should be all over this before they get spoofed, huh?

Constructive Comments: Well, apparently I have nothing to suggest to improve on this fine work. As you were.
