$150k return (such lovely feedback, feel like I still won!)

I really dig your track Matt. Nice work. Only 4 songs got a forward for this listing. Tough. Great tracks posted all around...

I hate how you cant listen to the forwarded tracks. I've been searching the net trying to find them..no luck...might have found one of the artist soundclouds but that about it...

frustrating!!!

I agree. The songs that are public should be marked blue like a link and the ones private will just be black type with no link.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I find hearing returns just as helpful as hearing forwards - particularly when the bar is as high as it is on this one.

I know , I have searched as well..zip...nada...

There are times when I've found some by doing a Facebook search more easily than Google..but nothing this time.

I want to hear those 4 forwarded songs, I'm interested to hear what made the cut.

I too did get a encouraging word for my returns. These are the two I submitted:

"Your production and track styles stand out, but there's room to enhance the rack rhythmically and melodically. Your track doesn't have a contagious dance style beat or melody arrangement that conveys the unifying emotion or mood that can resonate across 25 thousand party goers at a rave."

"You're on target rhythmically, I like the feel and vibe of the beat. Your arrangement could be a little more engaging though. I'm not hearing a strong contagious melody that connects universally or one that captures the feel good emotion or vibe of "Levels"

I'll check the blog out and see if I can find the taxi members and their songs posted .

humbling.

Here's hoping Michael does Taxi TV with the Forwards included

Hi Everyone, this the first time i did an EDM track. I am really pleased with the result even if it wasn't forwarded.

This is the review i got for my track:


Title: Precious Times

N/A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (10=best)
Melody
Marketability
Song Structure
Production
Engineering
Musicianship
Melody and Marketability marked 9, the rest 10

The production and track style is rhythmically hot, but the vibe and mood isn't close enough to the listing or song references. The arrangement chorus needs to be more dynamic, this would give the track that anthem type style. Amazing programming and beat though. The energy is right on!!

This is an amazing track idea, would have loved to forward for this too. This one comes down to emotion, style and energy. Your energy level was definitely on point, as well the beat. I just didn't feel that overwhelming since of joy the ad is focusing on.

Here is the link of the track:
