Forward or Return?

[melodea]

Wow, ok! Congrats

Congrats!!I was going to dispute as well but let it go, I will get it signed anyway.

Andre, I think if Michael knew that the screeners returned a Spanish guitar track from you, he'd flip out!
You could very easily supply the company with an album. I thought you were a sure win for this listing. But like you said, you shouldn't have a problem signing it elsewhere.

Thanks Erik but just don't want to bother and I have before on other genres and won. Yes I have already signed a 12 track album with a major Library a year ago.I will keep adding to my folder for the next album.

I totally understand why Casey's didn't get a forward at first before the dispute and I said the reason why on my first post on this thread. Casey's track is good and doesn't sound like the reference track.

Thanks. But I think the prevailing opinion, here and with Taxi is it was a track that belonged on a playlist with those reference tracks, even if it didn't sound extremely close to a ref track. The listing did say "a wide range of scenes" so I think it cast a wider net.

Can you post a link to the track you submitted? (Very optional).

Best,
Casey

Hey Andre
I listened very carefully to your track. Very nice!! But I think the difference between our submissions is the reference tracks, especially the first 2, have a hard driving groove and mine does as well. Yours does not have the groove I *think* they were after. Which means it may be a great track that doesn't fit the listing. HUGE CAVEAT: I have the benefit now of hearing my forward and your return, knowing the results. I can't say for sure what my opinion would have been if I heard yours before I knew the result. That's why on this thread, I didn't say whether mine was F or R while I gathered opinions. I think human nature doesn't allow us to be completely unbiased once we have that information. Just keep on making great music and placing tracks in good homes!

This has been recorded very well, the strumming guitars and lead. I listened a couple of times and what I was missing was a "flow and ebb" to the melody. I think the others were right in the edit points, because it gives the listener a chance to "exhale," maybe where its hits the 5 chord, stop, then reintroduce your material. As a guitarist, I find it helps me to write a melody on a different instrument and establish a solid line, (maybe a trumpet-- in this case). Then you can use this in your piece to drive home your melody. You've got a great recording technique in this!
