I&#8217;ve played it several times. The choices of instruments is perfect, I think. The melody is so wonderfully, beautifully simple. Instantly hummable. That is, to me, so important for a song. Your audience can come away singing and humming the melody or parts of it. It&#8217;s a happy melody that will keep a smile on everyone&#8217;s face. Also, the drums are mixed in perfectly, I think. They add just the right amount of punch and rhythmic flavor.Thank you!<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I really like this song. From my experience, strings are difficult to place in a mix pocket. at just about 2:10, the strings are pulled back enough to make a difference. This makes them really sweet. Also, when playing the string lines, imagine playing the violins, the cellos, violas&#8230; that will help you voice them as strings and not as a keyboard.The strings tend to be really bright in this mix and dominate this beautiful song. I would pull them back a bit and even throw a notch EQ on them to cut a small bit of the brightness. That could really help.Also, this is not an Avante Garde piece. Put it in its right category. it deserves to be heard.I dunno&#8230; finding a mastering plugin that allows mastering dips could be really helpful. I know it&#8217;s helped me, and I need to redo some of my music for the same reason. I use the Waves trifecta that&#8217;s recommended. L2 Ultrmaximizer,Linear phase multiband, linear phase EQ. My biggest issue is to remember to put up reeeeeally high quality MP3s. Thanks for writing this sweet piece of music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe &#8211; SongwriterSong: Remember When (Pop Instru)Reviewer: Edmond AllmondPositive Comments: This is a really beautiful piece.
