Critiques please!

Post by jsalzman » Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:16 pm

Hi Folks-

Just finished mixing this track....Nothin' Left To Say. Here is a link to my homepage.

http://www.taximusic.com/hosting/home.php?userid=me


Considering submitting for this listing although this might be a bit too poppy.

CONTEMPORARY ALT/INDIE ROCK INSTRUMENTALS in the range from Kings of Leon to Silversun Pickups to Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc., are wanted by a West Coast-based Music Library whose clients include Xbox, Microsoft, Visa, Clorox and more. Instrumental presentation must be top-notch! They offer a standard non-exclusive, 50/50 deal and they don't acquire your song's copyright. Songs must be broadcast quality (great sounding home recordings are OK). You must control the publishing and master rights to your instrumentals - no samples that require clearance, please. Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Thursday, January 28, 2010.

Thoughts and comments are welcomed! Thanks again.

Hi there - Not too familiar with the ala's but the part that doesn't sound alt rock to me is the little reggae-ish groove in the pre-chorus. Mix sounds good to me. Good luck! eo.

I like it. I think it matches more around the "yeah yeah yeah's" part of the listing (synthy etc...). IMO it may not be dark enough to match the listing exactly. That based on listening to some YYY's from there myspace. I would submit anyway. I'm wrong most of the time. :D

good luck,

Garrett
