New Acoustic Song

Post by salzmusic » Tue Aug 12, 2008 5:52 am

Hi there! Would love some feedback. I am planning on posting to this listing.ACOUSTIC GUITAR INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Production Music Library/Publisher that has signed tons of TAXI members over the years, and has made money for many of them. They're looking for fairly basic tracks that can be JUST one guitar or a combination of guitar and a couple of other instruments. Think of light, breezy tracks that would be good for TV spots for pharmaceuticals, feminine products, E.D. (yes guys, little blue pills) products, insurance and other innocuous, inoffensive products that are foisted upon you every day. Tracks should ideally run between :60 and 3 minutes in length, and be easily edited into :30s and shorter, with buttoned endings preferred. Broadcast quality is necessary -- excellent home recordings should be just fine. Their deal is typically an exclusive agreement with a 5-year reversion clause. Please submit one to three tracks online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY -- NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI -- and must be received no later than August 15, 2008.TAXI # Y080815INThanks!!!The track is 'A Race For A Cure'. http://www.taximusic.com/download/15813 ... 20Cure.mp3

Hey Salz.... couldn't get it to play... do you have a link for your main taxi page, or directly to the tune?

Cool little instrumental... nice chord structures..... I would watch the mix, as I think the backing guitar is up front a little much. But I don't really see why you wouldn't get a forward out of it!

Great composition, and IMO, dead on for the listing. (sorta makes me wanna go buy some Metamucil) The guitar sounds just ever-so-slightly tubby in a couple spots, maybe pull out a decibel or two in the low-mids and since it's for use in commercials, maybe try to reduce the finger squeaks. Kudos!

Kudos!That's strange, I'm listening on small PC speakers at work right now and I don't hear the excess energy in the low mids. I was actually wishing for a deeper, richer, dreadnaught tone. Hmmmm I'm not so sure I'll be rushing out to buy those feminine products any time soon, but it is a nice breazy tune like the listing calls for. Good Luck,Allen

It's a good piece. I'd change the title before submitting .. to something more 'commercial' sounding. And yeah, the finger squeeks might hurt your chances .. been through that recently on one of my co-writes ... we calmed them down a lot ... for commercials, you might need to get rid of yours totally.Dean
