Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: All Is Not Lost (Kleinhans/Dunkle)
Reviewer: Will Sims
Positive Comments: This song has a very dark vibe to it which could make it really great for sync. I like the use of the bell sounding pads that the song is built around. The lyrics are very moody, dark, and vulnerable. There’s potential for this song for sure. It’s a solid idea and if you plan on recording this song professionally you should do so.
Constructive Comments: This song sounds like it was self recorded. The quality of the vocal recording is pretty weak. The vocals by itself is fine, but there’s no good EQ on it, and for a song like this some sort of effects on it would probably help a lot. While I did like the bell sounding pads, they definitely should be mixed so they aren’t so harsh sounding to the ears. I also felt like the bells drowned out the drums. I think if this song was taken to a professional studio, you could export the midi notes, give them to the engineer, and he could probably find something close to what you had and get you a better sounding sample without taking away from the vibe of this song. The Vocal recording could probably be reused, but I always recommending tracking vocals with a professional who’s gonna help you get the best possible performance. If you want people to hear and support this music, you want the best possible recordings. Good luck!
