Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods<\/a> Reviewer: <\/b>Josh Walker<\/a><\/p>\n Positive Comments: <\/b>The song has some potential. The arrangement is pretty good, with the melody and secondary melody in the B section. I like the guitar sound and the blend with the keyboard.<\/p>\n Constructive Comments: <\/b>The biggest distraction is the quality of instrumentation and recording quality. The walking bass line suggests a four-on-the-floor shuffle or a jazz feel but the drums don’t lay down a feel that’s authentic for either and the fills are more like what you’d hear in a rock shuffle. Live drums and a jazz or R&B drummer would immediately add a lot to this arrangement. The brass isn’t particularly convincing either. Maybe take the bass down an octave or boost it in the mix a little to provide for more low end balance. Just upgrading the groove and the sounds would do wonders, but I understand you may be on a tight budget. Garageband has some good drum and keyboard sounds, and Apple Logic Pro X has even more. Maybe check out the Recording Revolution for mixing tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods<\/a>
