Broadjam Artist: Marshal Stacks
Song: Where are the Outlaws

Reviewer: dolylamby’s posse

Positive Comments: I would suggest remixing your track to bring out your drummer more as well as your baseline. Your vocals are coming through strong but all I’m hearing is the guitar track. So another shot at remixing it would benefit your song considerably.

Constructive Comments: This song would benefit from another remix so the track could come out stronger and clearer.

Song: Shootin’ Cowgirls

Reviewer: dolylamby’s posse

Positive Comments: Really liked the pulse of this song. You also wrote a really ‘fun’ song that has a catchy hook that keeps you listening to hear the story. Nice guitar picking’ also throughout the tune.

Constructive Comments: Enjoyed this song. If anything, I would suggest getting a well recorded/mixed track to back your vocals. As is, it’s really a fun song!

Broadjam Artist: Jim Aitken
Song: Reach The Sky

Reviewer: dolylamby’s posse

Positive Comments: I like the song and it’s theme. Your picture you’ve painted is clear and precise.

Constructive Comments: I would look at some of your wording in your in the chorus. (‘Where’ is used to start both lines 6 & 8. You may want to say something like, “And golden eagles fly” and possibly dropping the word ‘the’ in the last line…”Where beautiful mountains reach the sky”. This would give you a bit more time and it wouldn’t seem rushed.

Broadjam Artist: Jimmy
Song: Every other Weekend DAD

Reviewer: dolylamby’s posse

Positive Comments: Really a nice song here. Your vocals are clear and understandable. It is a topic that has been around a few times but you have put a nice spin to it. As far as the track, I would have enjoyed a better drum part on it and a bit stronger with the entire rhythm section. Good song though.

Constructive Comments: Possibly drop the violin volume a little and strengthen your rhythm section a little more.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Cowboy Shuffle – INSTRUMENTAL EDIT

Reviewer: dolylamby’s posse

Positive Comments: This may just be the track to the song, I don’t know. I don’t hear any vocals on it to critique. But the track was very well recorded and produced for the genre. Classic traditional instrumentation (pedal steel, acoustic guitar, etc…) flows comfortably throughout the song. Well done!

Constructive Comments: Keep writing!

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Can You Hear Me (longer vocal mix)

Reviewer: Natalee Borisenko

Positive Comments: Very romantic nice song. The voice is simply incredible – airy, pouring like gold, such a good vibrato. Motive gets stuck in the head. The atmosphere of a fairy tale, a miracle, a holiday.

Constructive Comments: There are some rather subjective, perhaps, sensations… It’s an acoustic track after all, and the mastering with respect to the equalization itself, as if in electronic music, a lot of top end.

Broadjam Artist: Arden Snow
Song: ClImB

Reviewer: Natalee Borisenko

Positive Comments: A very interesting idea with reverb on the piano, the motive is well thought out.

Constructive Comments: All synthesizers and orchestral instruments are equalized like in EDM music, which is not typical for this style and the atmosphere itself. Cellos cannot have the bottom and entire middle cut out. They don’t sound like cellos in the end, but like a saw synthesizer.

Broadjam Artist: Oliver Keynes Lafaye
Song: New chapter

Reviewer: Natalee Borisenko

Positive Comments: Warm atmosphere, the feeling of starting something new. Beautiful harmony and selection of instruments.

Constructive Comments: There is a lot of reverb on the violins, because of this they sound lifeless, especially in the upper tessitura. If only libraries could be replaced…There is distortion on the recording due to the very high signal level. It spoils the impression of the work.

Broadjam Artist: Randy Calligan
Song: The Long Train Ride Home

Reviewer: Natalee Borisenko

Positive Comments: Harmony immediately attracts attention – a very beautiful solution. And the motives are melodious, memorable, very romantic and sophisticated. The violin sounds great!

Constructive Comments: Beautiful deep drama!

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: I Don’t Wanna Got To Work

Reviewer: Natalee Borisenko

Positive Comments: Quite interesting ethnic motifs… I would say it’s more acoustically experimental music than electronic. It looks like some very good soundtrack, for example, for a series or TV show about ancient cities, travel …The violin is just amazing.

Constructive Comments: Great! Love it. Very high-quality work.
