Thanks in advance to anyone who lend me their ears.

Mostly curious is any segments jump out as better or worse so I can stack my strongest stuff first.

All comments are welcome though!

Thanks all!

Good stuff. On the first two the music was mixed too loud for ME, but judging by what I'm hearing on the air these days, it's perfect, so don't go changing.

If I had to choose one to drop it might be the Wild Turkey spot, but that's getting down to niggling level.

Go forth and marketize!

Heya!

Great spots. I agree with Bruce - I felt like your voice got a little lost in the mix on the first two spots.

I also think it might be worth toning down your high freq gain a little in your EQ? Other than that - awesome!

Personally, I liked most everything starting at the RAM spot. I feel like if you dropped the first couple and replace Wild Turkey with the Rock Bottom spot it would be more engaging out of the gate and show some dynamic. To me, the first couple were a bit on the 'localish' sounding side.

I love Michigan blue berries by the way Smile

You guys are the best, thank you.

Listening back, I agree. The first half is all the same, needs to mix up the styles a bit. No reason to put in new stuff if it's not as good as old stuff, as much as I'd like to think I've gotten better in the last few years.

I generally mix for broadcast, counting on the station processing pulling out the voice but without that, the music may be a little hot.
