Feedback on music sample 2

This is some feedback from the second music sample.


Nath – I liked all of the guitar parts especially the outro, I like the guitar parts after each verse, I couldn’t tell what the singer was saying though but it was good.


Ian – I like the bit between the second chorus and the bridge and I also like the outro. I think that it is catchy.



Mr Taylor – Simple and effective. Certainly catchy and a good song to use for a video. I thought at first the vocal was a little loud but it’s probably about right. Chorus lends itself well to repeating some of the same images/ideas in your video – would probably work well as narrative / live action. You’ll have to consider what will work well for the guitar solo / outro.

Josh - i think the music is simple and effective. I think the genre of music will suit your target audience and get good feedback. I think the tune of the guitars is catchy and the repetitive chorus sticks into your head. I think the recording quality is good for the equipment that you had available, the vocals are also good.

sally - In comparison to the other reviews, i think that the overall product is good. However, it is not my type of music genre so it doesnt interest me enough. On the other hand, that is only my opinion which means others may like it.

Music sample 2

This is the second attempt of recording for my music video. i have added vocals and edited the song to add character and make it sound more professional. This should be, or close to the final copy of the song.

Feedback on CD covers and fonts

Ian: I think that the one with the yellow font is the best but i also think that the ones with the water fall are very good aswell.

Nath: i like both of the pictures but i think the sunday blues one is the best because the colour of the font looks good with the waterfall.



Jake: I think that the fonts used throughout these Cd cover products are good. I think the fonts stand out from the image and make it clear to see. Finding similar pictures of your own will be difficult but if you get the right images i think the CD cover will be effective.



Sarah: My initial response to these Cd covers is good. However i think they are missing something but it is hard to tell what it is. I like the images used and the fonts stand out and go well with the genre of music.



Jess: I do not like this sort of genre of music. However i think for your target audience you have created some good Cd covers.



Jack: The fonts on each Cd cover stands out, but i prefer the most recent Cd cover with the bridge and yellow font. The yellow fonts blends well with the background image and adds character. Furthermore, i think you should continue with the idea of bright fonts and dull images to make the title of the band stand out.


Sally: I think the better Cd covers are of the bridge with the bright fonts. Preferably the yellow one. I think its a interesting background and will help to engage your target audience. To improve i would include something musical within the background.

Music sample 1

This is the first attempt of the recording the music for my music video. The music in this PowerPoint has not been edited or has not got vocals on it so far. The lyrics have been fully written and i am currently preparing to record them and add them to this recording. In addition, i will need to edit it all when the lyrics have been added. For example, i will need to alter the levels for each instrument to make them fit in better and use different equaliser effects to make the song sound more professional and full.

CD cover mockup


One of my favourite covers so far, using a dull picture but with bright fonts on the astroclash to make it stand out. I think i will go to congelton canal and get a picture which is similar to this one for my Cd cover.
