What does this review mean to you?

Post by reclevel » Sun Oct 03, 2021 4:08 pm

On an acoustic instrumental review, the comment was : "There are times when the top line is a little static in energy. Could hear more flow/groove overall. "

They also checked "'Instrumentation feels stiff or over-quantized'" Acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin and a bass. Nothing quantized but I di play to a click track.

So what is meant by 'little static energy'. ?

Thanks for your feedback.

It might help to offer some feedback if you post the listing text AND the track... or, at least the track.

Its difficult to help without listening and comparing with what was asked for, but my guess would be that the track feels like its stops moving forward because the top line is not pushing it along either rhythmically or melodically, and as 'groove' is mentioned it might be the rhythm as much as anything. Perhaps you could check your track maintains its sense of rhythmic groove throughout (apart from the edit points), especially when compared with the reference tracks. As has been said, if you're willing to post your track and the listing it will be easier to interpret the comments.
