Song: I Can See The Day

Reviewer: George Michael John

Positive Comments: Lots of nice surprises as I listened. Loved the intro and how the song evolved. Well done, great job all around.

Constructive Comments: Got nothing here. Wouldn’t change a thing!

Broadjam Artist: George Michael John
Song: 1st indication

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: Beautiful piano sound. Well recorded and mixed. Good arrangement a technical skills. Good mixture of synth and piano. Great mood overall.

Constructive Comments: Well, theres no hook. Just a part I would call bridge but nothing that would make a distinctive impression to the listener, even all melody and harmony lines are great.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: crazy horse

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: Interesting mixture of old beatbox drum style with guitars. Extremely long monoblock type track and no one knows if its the beginning or the end.

Constructive Comments: More time in the mix would do wonders, also the quality of the guitars sound poor, and thats not very good since the distorted guitar comes up a lot. More time balancing tracks and selecting plugins for distortion. More time in the arrangement overall, would be positive.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Just You and Me

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: Really well recorded. Great. Some gremlins in the guitar but ok. Hook is distinctive and well put in the whole arrangement. A guitar based track that is not boring.I believe theres an acoustic there as well going crazy and that creates a nice listening.

Constructive Comments: Good guitar playing but I can hear missing things. More practice :)In the end too much solo guitar and thats not needed, since the whole song has a guitar in first plane. Thats the only thing I. would do, try another arrangement for the finale, even I understand that the motif is the guitar.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Wild West Spaghetti

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: Well recorded and balanced. Good hook in the spirit of the track.

Constructive Comments: Nothing bad. Its a themed some and nothing at technical level from my view to say anything about. Just it is what it is. Feels technically very well executed but lack of soul – no one comes up with magic hooks and notes all the time. Its fine.

Broadjam Artist: Randy Calligan
Song: Adventure Theme

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: Interesting notes and scales used, creating unsettling until the main hook, well distinct since the start. Definitely causes sense of urgency-and very well pout together. Well mixed and recorded. Like the unusual notes here and there – not bad – causing the desired effect.

Constructive Comments: nothing bad to say, since I believe the hook is at the end on purpose.The hook could cause more drama and impact, even is all very well designed.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: March of the Militant

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: well mixed. The hook could have had a better impact if the plugin chosen for the main theme was better. Sounds artificial. Trompete? Arrangement was well done, shame the hook difficult to identify. Interesting military drums choice, works well.

Constructive Comments: I feel theres something out of tempo, but could be just me. Otherwise not much to say apart that since the hook is difficult to perceive is kind of a monoblock track that ends suddenly.

Broadjam Artist: Yuri
Song: Amelie

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: The hook is not bad at all. The piano is good. Good harmony and melody.

Constructive Comments: The instruments chosen together with the arrangement take off what could be a good track with a nice hook.A bit more time in the mix would have helped the violin/viola not to scream and the piano is also too loud in most of parts. A bit more time mixing and balancing is always worth and could have been sorted completely the track.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: A Life In Question / Soundtrack

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: In the 70’s or if that was the idea well thats a 70’s song with a solo guitar that never ends, but some function could be found for such track.

Constructive Comments: Dont create a solo for the entire length of the song, and the recording is really not very up to standards. Some work to be done in arrangements. even the parts are well played but lack passion.

Broadjam Artist: Vi: 00110110
Song: Red Pill (2018)

Reviewer: Ricardo Preschel

Positive Comments: Its original and the hook is constructed in a pleasent way

Constructive Comments: The arrangement on a whole could improve. But the sections are well constructed.
