Positive Cues Review HELP!

Post by brunosantanna » Wed Jul 24, 2019 7:31 am

Hi, guys!

I plan on sending these songs to the following list. What do you think?

The road to success: https://soundcloud.com/brunosantannaoff ... ss/s-ETZAl

Inspiration and Motivation: https://soundcloud.com/brunosantannaoff ... on/s-ZshWQ

Corporate Motivational Inspiring & Uplifting: https://soundcloud.com/brunosantannaoff ... te/s-bkAWb


POSITIVE INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for TV COMMERCIALS by a High-End Music Library with countless credits in big Feature Films, TV Shows, and Commercials.

NOTE: We recently ran this request as a TAXI Listing (TAXI #Y190529AD), but the company didn’t get enough material and asked us to run this request to see if we could find them even more. If you submitted to TAXI #Y190529AD, please submit different material this time around!

They’re looking for Instrumental Cues in All Tempos that would fall within the stylistic wheelhouse of the references we got from our client:

Positive Ad-Friendly Examples https://www.dropbox.com/sh/khf81tqld290 ... jMPva?dl=0

Please submit well-composed Instrumental Cues that have an "advertising-friendly” sound and vibe. Your production should be driven by organic-based instrumentation and should have some development as they progress.

The key elements that make this Music Library happy are:

• Cues should have a Positive mood (it can be “warm” and/or “motivational”, but ALWAYS positive.)

• Cues MUST have good edit points.

• Cues must be Library ‘friendly’ (i.e.: a clear theme right from the start. Proper mood and pacing.)

• Instrumental Cues can have an ABAB structure, but certainly don't need to (listen to the examples). Prominent leads/solos are not needed. The theme/motif should be found more in the arrangement/chord progressions (again, listen to the examples).

• High quality in composition, tone, and performance is all required.

All submissions should be approximately 2 minutes long. Non-Faded, Buttoned endings are preferred. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Best,

Bruno.

I like them, they hit the right emotion for me. The only thing I thought was they all stayed a bit ' lite ' . .i.e. they never quite built to the full arrangement I was expecting in the last section ..some lows pads, extra percussion , a fuller drum kit sound etc.

Hi Bruno,

Nice work, I agree with previous posts, it sounds very much on target for sure.
Listening to ”The road to success”, my only suggestions would be to maybe vary the bassline that starts around 0:42 slightly, to me it sounds just a little too midi…although that could just be me listening too cricital.
The ending chord doesn’t feel like it’s completely in the pocket, if that makes sense

Good luck!
/Anders
