"Awesome Job, as always"

submission: Detective Jazz Loop 1

date: July 18, 2009

Loved the trumpet, as always too. Nice lip work, haha. But why does every trumpet player I know use reason? Just kidding, it's a good program, I know, just seems like an odd coincidence. With your recording, are you recording straight into the program, or using another program to do so? Because I've done recordings for personal stuff using audacity, and it's really good at getting past even the worst mic's flaws, and really getting a nice clean sound.

"Quite Well Done"

submission: Toccata

date: July 6, 2009

I commend you for using only 8 players and actually choosing to place an oboe in such a small arrangement. For anyone who reviewed before me or listens to this, and who is not that well oriented in the ensemble world, the oboe is an impossible instrument to tune. There's an old joke: How do you get two oboe players to play in tune? Shoot one. I felt that this had a good sound and balance throughout 99.9% of the piece, but there are a few places where some instruments speak out a little more strongly than others, where personally I would've had them quiet down a little more. Part of it may just be the player, I know, I've done it in large ensembles and quartets, trios, etc. Around...4:54 I believe, there is a crescendo on those strings. The note is played well, but the tricky thing with crescendos is timing. Really, I personally feel as if they rushed a little too much into that crescendo. It should be a little more gradual, and then about a measure, or if you have the luxury, two, measures from the end of that crescendo, bring it up so that it's almost like an instant step up or two steps up in dynamics. They're very little things though, and I had to rack my brain just to think of them, so overall, it's a job well done.

"5 Bombed"

submission: Internal Harmony

date: May 23, 2009

Must resist urge to keep hitting 5.....about the only thing I can say is that it didn't have enough "backbone" for my upper crust taste, I like a little percussion with my melodies. Keeps a beat going, makes you into it.

"Wow!"

submission: Good Morning America

date: May 1, 2009

Once again, what a great sound out of that trumpet! Just imagine if you were using a flugelhorn on that, and how much more you could pull out of it. Nicely done, as always. Looking forward to even more great trumpet pieces on the way. (And I myself am thinking of a Bb trumpet, possibly. I originally wanted to, but at the time when I started learning T-Bone and euphonium, I didn't have any embouchre for it. We'll see though, eh?). 10/10 5/5

"Very Nice!"

submission: You Make Me Feel Like ...

date: January 23, 2009

10/10 5/5 even if the voice sounded a little too deep, haha, almost on the verge of weird. The chorus kinda sounds like a blend of Weird Al and Blue Oyster Cult.

"I've personally commented you on this"

submission: Thracian-Jazz

date: January 9, 2009

And I gotta do it again. I love the sound of this over all, and I've heard a lot of jazz. I mean, really, that 7/8 is very, very, cool and definitely gives it that little extra *mph*! It's too bad you really didn't write this down, because a few guys and myself are getting together two local jazz bands, a big band, and a smaller sized, and I wish we could get this played out, substitute jazz flute for the kaval, probably. It's gotta be pretty hard to top this!

"Nice stuff"

submission: [DjBjra] - The Freeze

date: September 23, 2008

At 1:10 and on, I liked how you added the new synth element to the basic rhythm. The echoing piano was just good enough by itself, and sounded good when added onto by the rest of the elements. The voice was kinda strange though, lol. At around 3:22 you had a nice fade out effect on those synths too. Nice stuff.
