| Story Behind the Song: Professional Review by Aremi Legard, Bremen, Germany Wonderful song - very prof! You made a cool work. Your voice is very good and you can use it. That your song is made only with guitars is great. The mastering could have a bit more workout and the guitarsound on the left side is not really in the mix (pan and volume). But this is not really a problem. Only the originality is in the middle, but I think you know by yourself, that your song is more mainstream. All in all you made a great song and I wish you the best for your work and future. Garibaldi |
