Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Talk to Nana

Reviewer: Klaus Sander

Positive Comments: Perfect arrangement/recording. All parts fit beautiful together.

Constructive Comments: No surprises after half of the song. I would change the obvious sweet voices for the lyrics to darker, more dynamic and sarcastic voices and change from the western country style to a powerful rock ballad in the line of “Tuff Enough”. That would give it a hilarious twist.

Broadjam Artist: jim Finan
Song: A taste of West

Reviewer: Strange World Music

Positive Comments: I can hear the western theme, nice vibe, beat and instruments, I can see a Clint Eastwood film, track leaves you wanting more. I can see the lone cowboy riding his horse into town, actually I can see many westerns just wish the track was a bit longer.

Constructive Comments: I like all the instruments and I like the beat and the vibe. The music flows along nicely, it does have a very good cowboy feel I just want more :). It is a very very good track and it would fit films very wellIt brings to mind Clint Eastwood, and all the westerns out there.

Broadjam Artist: John Hazlett
Song: To You I Give My Heart

Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)

Positive Comments: A mix of pleasant sounds. Song has good dynamics. Lot’s of melodies and harmonic ideas…. This song has potential

Constructive Comments: The phrasing of the sections is a bit of a blur, it’s hard to discern one section from the next and I think what’s throwing me off is the arrant drum fills, sort of thrown in at random. Doesn’t sound like there’s any common theme reoccurring or any fluidity in the rhythmic structure to draw me in.

Broadjam Artist: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance
Song: Desert Flowers Bloom

Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)

Positive Comments: Very clean recording, the guitars sound beautiful. I love all the live instruments. The B section around the 1 minute mark has a very pleasing chordal structure, very good contrast to the A section. Very enjoyable track throughout. I didn’t miss the absence of any percussion.

Constructive Comments: The violin sounded thin, for violin I like to boost the lo mid frequencies, 200hz to maybe 400hz and cut some high mids around 2.5 sometimes as low as 1K. It give the violin a warm and smooth sound as opposed to brittle and shrill. There is an awful lot of hiss in this track. I felt if the violin tone was better that it could have taken a more prominent roll in the mix.
