Song: VWFINE Epic Orchestra

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Wonderful orchestral music!! Would make a great film score! Harp part is lovely! All of the samples/playing/programming is excellent!! Very beautiful, emotional music!!

Constructive Comments: I think the percussion could come up a bit in the first part, prior to the harp. GREAT stuff!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: Dreamatorium Too: 6. An Open Heart

Reviewer: Avatar Music Productions

Positive Comments: I liked the sweet melody of the slow stringed instrument and it definitely has a good groove. It also evokes a contemplative emotion amidst the industrial drum beat sounds.

Constructive Comments: Vocals were too scratchy for me so I would try to clear them up a little even though they have an effect on them. Also, the mix needs a better balance, especially between the vocals and music. The music drowns them out so they are not as clear. I would try a different balance with the instruments.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Things Have Changed Coreys Buck Swade

Reviewer: Avatar Music Productions

Positive Comments: This reminded me of a little bit of Donald Fagen/Steely Dan with how the vocals were being affected. The song definitely has a nice, constant groove and you can clearly hear the instruments which help set the mood and makes it enjoyable to listen to. I liked the slight lo-fi electronic piano intro.

Constructive Comments: I think the saxophone needs to come out of the background and placed a little more forward and not be so caught up in the reverb/echo effect. It might also be a good idea to double up the vocal just a little more than it is and try some additional reverb to sweeten the vocals. Think about bringing the guitars down in the mix especially since they are panned to the right. Also, try to strengthen the bass a little more to improve the groove. Hopefully, this was helpful. These are all changes that I think you can play with to see how it affects the mix.
