Hey Dan, your new clever & catchy radio spot will definitely appeal to the alternative rock radio audience. The driving beat & your super fast talking announcer style makes it rather difficut to make out a lot of the announcer's (you?) words though. I have to also agree with Donny that the audio sounds kinda distorted. Sounds like you're on speed dude, but I suspect some of the radio listening audience may be used to this.

btw: I ran into Justin Warren (remember him?) today at my local Guitar Center. He's now the GC California Regional Mgr. Remember him from Guitar Center-Baltimore? He asks how your new business in doing. I'll definitely have to turn him on to your new radio spot.

Ok, if I'm ever in Baltimore, I'll be sure to stop by Keyboard City, because, as the announcer stated: "you can see it from the Beltway!"

Hey Dan0,

Nice radio spot. The music is groovin' your talking it energetic BUT - "make your way to Keyboard City", etc. (the singing parts) are a little blasé and too mono tone IMO. It needs more variation. Actually it needs a different 'structure', ie., a different sound to it. In other words, you need a new melody to go with your pumped up talk in your commercial spot and groovin background sound. The 'words' "Make your way to Keyboard City", etc. are fine but the song structure and melody need more pizazz and variation and a different sound IMHO. Just my thoughts. I did like it, I really did. But I just wanted to express how I felt it could be improved upon.

Best regards,
Mike

The feedback is welcome . I basically rushed through this production, and had a bit of the flu, but the ad has been effective . By producing the spot, it saves money . I'll get better .

I used a AW16G on my 1st radio spot and the Zoom on this spot . I think the AW16G was cleaner out of the box .The Zoom needs a little more tweaking .

Now that a recording studio has been added. I can leave it up to the engineer to mix .

If business has picked up since you did the spot Dan then disregard my suggestions. Whatever works and increases business is a step in the 'right' direction. Maybe if the tune was catchier then you would get even more business. Kudos to the improvement you've already received.

Best regards,
Mike
