Song: Torn

Reviewer: B.Still

Positive Comments: This is a beautiful piece of music. It is played with and generates emotion in me I like the string pad that accompanies the piano. I found myself wanting to hear a full on orchestra at then end. I wanted to hear more. I am profoundly affected by music of this type. I’ve loved and lost too many times, and this one brought tears to my eyes. Please continue to create. The world is a better place because of you.

Constructive Comments: It’s really difficult to pick out anything wrong with this song. I see it as having outstanding market potential, especially in film. As mentioned, I’d like to bear more instrumentation a bit earlier in the song and full on orchestration towards the end. If you can, add another movement at 3 minutes and then go back to your roots with full on horns and string section. Of course, sparse can be good too…just my opinion. I loved it the way it is.

Positive Comments: What a great theme. I really like your piano sound and the chord melody of your composition!You will sell this one! no doubt!

Constructive Comments: Maybe you can replace the keyboard backing.Some more realistic strings will shoot your composition to the top.A key change, maybe a whole-tone up at the end would be nice tooSo you can get a nice climax at the end.

Reviewer: Svenson

Positive Comments: I really like the sounds of your track.Reminds me of Miami vice stuff. Jan Hammer synthesizer.Very relaxed and chilled.Perfect for tv licensing!

Constructive Comments: There is not much to say!If you change anything on that track you will destroy the mood.That`s my opinion.Try to sell your track. You will find someone who really likes what you do!

Song: Triumphant

Reviewer: Svenson

Positive Comments: Really like your composition and of course the VST you use.All sounds perfect to me.You will sell this song, no doubt!Another idea is to do different versions of your song.

Constructive Comments: There is not much to say!Maybe you can do a key change at the end. Like one whole-tone up to keep the arrangement interesting.Another idea is to do different versions of your track.For example with female vocals.Some Midi-phrases will do the job)

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: VICTORY (instrumental)

Reviewer: Svenson

Positive Comments: The Theme reminds me a little of Indiana Jones movies.The drums are great! Really smashing the track forward.

Constructive Comments: The VST you use is not the best for brass instruments, maybe you can update your Libary to get a more realistic sound.The arrangement is a little boring at the end.I would love to hear a key change like one whole-tone up.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: SPREAD THE WEALTH (extended version featuring Ray Dahrouge)

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat

Positive Comments: Seriously good stuff here! I liked everything about it except—the whole concept!The guitar and vocal were stellar! As well as the mixing and production ! This man has been doing this a long time and it shows!My guess is that his smart writing is being sensitive to the way the world seems to be thinking lately and is simply addressing it! I don’t agree with the concept but admire that he is seeing an opportunity to explore. This method of addressing the elephant in the room has made millionaires out of a lot of songwriters! Hats off to this wise man!

Constructive Comments: Again the concept! I paid my dues in my twenties and almost starved to death doing it. Then had a hit record and was suddenly warming up for big bands and making insane money! I drive a TESLA today and the thought of splitting it up with everybody else rubs me the wrong way! If anybody knew what I had to endure to get here you would be surprised!When I had almost nothing I still didn’t think like that—my question was always–How did they do it? Study successful people and learn how they did it!Again, Congrats on the technical aspect—TOP DRAWER!Best! Catnip
