Possibly. Not getting a strong sense of the referenced artists, in other words if it comes back as a return that might be way. Good song, well recorded. I'm in for this one too. I have a sense taxi is going to get pounded with submissions for this.

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
Hi Martin,
I like this one a lot. Like Chuck, I'm not certain it hits the target bands referenced. The B section at .30 sounds more like Skynnyrd to me. I think it meets the parameters outlined in the listing. I don't know how spot on they want the style to be. I worry that my submission for this one may be too generic.
Anyway, good luck,
Mike

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
Personally I think the emphasis is on strong driving rhythms.
The listing is for a sports highlight.
The question is can you picture this piece of music
as background for a sports highlight.
It may not be aggressive enough.
I hope I'm wrong.
It's a solid performance .

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
It sounds to me like they want to find an undiscoverd "Slash" lurking in the back ground. You have a nice sound but you'll need to multiply the attitude x 3 to keep them listening past 10 seconds. It's not to say you can't do it with this melody line, you just need to crank the amp up to a 11 and that should do it.

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
it would be interesting to know what this listing is really bout. I read it as a download of these tunes used in conjunction with a training regime - like listening to certain tempo specific tunes on an iPod or iPhone while doing an exercise routine. This company has listed many times on Taxi (pretty sure its the same one, guessing here) looking for many kinds of music.playagibson wrote:Personally I think the emphasis is on strong driving rhythms.

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
I had exercise/workout in mind when I put mine together, read it the same way in other words. This seems like one you may have had in the hopper and you are asking if it fits.

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
Thanks guys!
I read "Driven" like they need music to get people moving to a certain pace. I wrote this one for a Aerosmith listing. Got a return then because of the recording quality. The lead guitar was also added because it sounded like a song bed which wasn't cool. Re-recorded it and thought this might be that other opportunity.
There seems to be some doubt wether or not this is on target. To find out I think I will just go for it and see what happens. Unfortunately it's a Yes/No listing... They'll probably be busy enough with this one. There's always the forward section!
Good luck every one!

Re: Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/AC-DC listing
Martin,
Nice!! I like it from the mid point till the end. Something about the drums in the beginning isn't convincing. I think it needs some different drum patterns, some snare dynamic (maybe ghost notes?) and more than one (quieter) crash cymbal sample. There's also a slight timing issue in the beginning (something's dragging behind, but sort of resolves itself later). Other than that, I think the riff is interesting and very Aerosmith. It's got GREAT potential.
Hope it's a forward!!!
Pete

Hey Pete,
Thanks man! Very helpful!
I changed the drum mix and did a little editing on it. I think I fixed the timing issue, well I fixed a timing issue and hope it's the one you heared .
https://soundcloud.com/lazyknife/arrow-rock-1 This is the new one.
Anything else I could improve?
