This needs to be address, balanced out.  Start with a nice popping drum track.  Match the bass with the kick and build your sound from that starting point.  Don&#8217;t let the collective sounds\/instruments overpower your rhythm section.  Only think about the melodies is I thought either some were too long or stacked one after another.. the lead sound kind of needed to change at some point.  I am sure these are backing tracks to a female vocal.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/usrimgs.broadjam.com\/2\/2068\/tmb_150x150_2068_236393.jpg\" title=\"Uncle Spider &amp; The Electric Dirt Clods\" alt=\"Uncle Spider &amp; The Electric Dirt Clods\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Broadjam Artist: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadjam.com\/redwinemusic\">Uncle Spider &amp; The Electric Dirt Clods<\/a><br \/><b>Song: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadjam.com\/artists\/songs.php?artistID=561&amp;mediaID=625650\">Nothing Short Of Paradise \/ R&amp;B<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Reviewer: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadjam.com\/artists\/home.php?artistID=72750\">Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Positive Comments: <\/b>Catchy intro.
