Positive Comments: Pretty chord choices in this soundtrack piece! Perfect backdrop for film/tv.

Constructive Comments: I think you have enough material for maybe two separate pieces. It might be nice to hear a woodwind instrument sound in place of the synth sound melody, just to add a little softness.

Reviewer: Jeana Potthoff

Positive Comments: I can feel the 80’s vibe in this piece. Nice development at 1:20. Could work as a film/tv backdrop for a fun scene.

Constructive Comments: I liked your overall melody, and it might be nice to see how a different instrument sound could be used to match the realistic drums. The chords used are nice, but maybe a little less sustain would tighten up the feel.

Reviewer: Jeana Potthoff

Positive Comments: Beautiful, happy go lucky piece. Nice mix of instruments that compliment each other. Perfect backdrop for film/tv.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Set Me Free

Reviewer: Paul Pierce Project

Positive Comments: Really nice drum sound! Tight snare cracking! Cool how it breaks into harmony vocals. Very commercial sounding track. Chaka Khan vibe with a much more rocky edge, but still funky. Nice guitar solo and groove. Also really nice clav sound. You folks did a really great job on this song! The ending is also creatively cool. I like how it pans and ends up crawling away. Love it!

Constructive Comments: This is another one that is hard for me to critique. I love the song. Sorry but I got nothing? I’m curious who you guys feel like you sound like? To me your sound is pretty darned unique. Anyway – best of luck with this!
