Great work as usual. Congrats.
Thank you! I still have a lot to learn in my elementary system, but I'm tired of spending money on professional engineers :)

Dear Susan, listening to your tune, "Wayfaring Stranger", what a Great folk sounding song!! Has that classic 60's folk sound.....really memorable like many of the classic folk compositions from that era!! 5 Stars & likes!!! One of your Best tunes to date!! Toodles, The Corey's................
Thanks, Corey's!
Thanks, Warren, for the stars on "Wayfaring.." - appreciated! Still working on the right mix and there's a way to go :) Susan
Envious of your patience talented one! I'm good at telling my producer what to do, LOL... Stay safe and keep on keeping' on, Peace Warren
Thanks, Bob, for your continuing support of my music...appreciated! Susan
You keep turning out wonderful music, it's easy!!
Hi Bob - Thanks for the stars on "Hazard" - nice of you! Susan
It's certainly different Susan, maybe a bit of a stretch for me. However, it is brilliantly produced, great work.
Hey! Thanks for all the 5-star ratings on my songs - appreciated! Susan
You are most welcome! Impressive resume. Thank you!
Hi - Thanks for adding 2 of my songs to your playlist - glad you like them! Susan
Hi! Really enjoy those songs! Keep it up! ðŸ'"
Hi Susan, Many thanks for the stars and playlist for Thomas. It's getting a major revision to clear away some of the excess "stuff" going on and improve some of the guitar melody. I think it will be greatly improved. Much appreciated, Bob
You're welcome, Bob.
hey kid, Shine original is very very cool, how'd i miss this? anyway, i like the build and production very "today"--kudos...keep shining... wh
Thanks for the stars on "Shine", Warren! Check out this link of my before and after with StudioPros. I just have to laugh now of how I put so many crazy loops together for my demos in 2017!! This should give anyone hope for their music when they see what a real studio can do! https://studiopros.com/featured-art ist-susan-odella/
Oops, that link may not work any more. You may be able to search featured projects - it's there under 2017 - August.
ok i'll try, and yep, i've used them waaayyy back, but like an idiot (and cheap?) i didn't always get the stems...they originally did Ga Ga for me, which is now No More Seesaw (had the stems...and reworked) but check out what i'll re-record "someday" "Close Your Eyes", never did get the damn key right for the singer, and you'll hear her attempt to "fix" it...i was so much younger then, and older than that now...wait, i misquoted Dylan...ha!
Yes, I spent a lot of money with StudioPros in the past, but moved on except when I like one of their vocalists. I've done a lot of remixes, so I always get the stems. I did a remix of StudioPros "Diamond" with a different producer, and now it will be a featured Tasty Tracks on Songtradr. Wish I was a young friend of Dylan while he grew up 20 minutes away...haha!
"Four" Warren??!! :)
Well...it's an old one I got creamed about, found it and chopped it more while waiting for base track on new veterans tune, pure folk...yeah four! hell it's a all synth practice on a machine I rarely use--you can hear why? LOLOLOL!! What boredom and recoup hath wrought!!!
Alright...maybe start weaning the drugs :) Do whatever to keep busy, and be glad you're not in the Minnesota cold.
I am glad of that, and nada drugitos for 3 weeks!
Great - sounds like a good recovery!
ðŸ‘
Agree with Warren, Shine sounds very current. I went to the before/after comparison, and well, it is night and day. Bravo Susan.
Thanks, Thierry! StudioPros did well for me in 2017, and many times after that. I had a different agency/producer on the remix of "Shine", and that garnered much more attention, even a #25 on the DJ Times Dance/Crossover Chart in 2018, HMMA nominee, etc. Now, I enjoy picking out my own musicians and engineers on SoundBetter. Also, my own studio work has improved immensely...thank God :)
Hi Warren - As far as your reviews, take them with a grain of salt. I had the same guy review a song in 2016. Here's some comments: Be careful not to use one vowel as a repeated rhyme too many times...Your use of E rhymes in verse 1 and the use of key words from your hook might water down the hooks impact in your chorus...I would not go for a full production on this song unless you can get a great deal..., etc. Overall, it was a good, detailed review, but as usual, I didn't listen. I had sent him my own version of "Free". After the review, I continued on and did a full production...it turned out to be my very first placement on cable TV. I have also done a remix, and that has done well, also. There are places in this world for most songs, we just lack the contacts, and production is a tricky business, also. Susan
Thanks so much, and from a writer I have great respect for... means allot to me, and I picked "him" because he reviewed you! Again wondering if I measured up at all... All the best and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Warren
You're welcome, Warren. We each create our own unique footprint, whether other people like it or not...it's ours alone. Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Susan
Love your work!
Thanks so much!
Thanks, Bob, for your support of my music..."Hallelujah Moment" in particular! You are a nice guy! Susan
Don't be deceived Susan...........!! (You're welcome!)
Haha! :)
Thanks for the stars on Seraphina, Warren! I like your work station! Susan
Thanks Susan...well deserved on Seraphina, yeah bare bones on the techno gear LOL Best, W
Same with me...just the necessities to get my messages across :)
Getting ready for the Taxi Road Rally online this week
Hi Jonathan - You sound excited about that...enjoy :)
Hi Susan yes I learn so much there and connect with a lot of collaborations thanks for saying hi hope your well!!!!
Susan, another wonderful composition, 5 Stars & Likes!! Beautiful..... Stay Safe......... Te Corey's............
Dear Susan Odella, Great job on the Classic tune, "The First Noel", your vocals are spot-on!! 5 Stars & Likes! Ahhh...here comes another query, that's probably not going to make you particularly Happy!!! How do the Good People of Minnesota, you know......the people of the Sod, feel about CRT?? Just been asking random Broad Jam members, their thoughts on this issue?? I kind of feel like this could be a 21st century Land Mind, a real Catch 22 issue!! What say you?? Again, Great job with the Christmas Carol......you nailed it!! Toodles, The Corey's
Dear Susan, thanks for the detailed response to my recent query!!! So, who is your favorite Artist on Broad Jam?? And then......who is your favorite all time Vocalist/Artist Male & Female......say in Country?? Toodles, The Corey's...........
Hey Susan, Good tune, 5 Stars & Likes! Who is producing your material?? It's quite excellent!! Toodles, The Corey's............ PS Query????, So in Minnesota, do you people believe in wearing Masks?? Just curious??
Thanks, Corey's! I produce, and I've worked with producers in NY, LA, Nashville, etc. I usually pick the musicians and people I want to work with depending on the genre, and the strengths of the musicians, for each project. As far as masks, there is no specific answer to your very general query. Minnesota is as diversified as the rest of the country in beliefs, health, the pandemic, political, and otherwise. I'm sure you'd have the same answer if I asked about "you people" in California...:)
Hi Stan - Great job on your song, "Walk With Me" - congrats. on the contest win! Susan
Thanks Susan, another step in the right direction. Stay Safe and Thanks again!
Had confirmation today that I won't be doing any vocals for some considerable time. Last November my voice suddenly started to weaken in every day conversation. Discovered I had lesions on a vocal cord and I've had two minor ops/biopsies which determined that they were not cancerous, but each time my voice was messed up in the process. Examined by a laser specialist in a different hospital today and have agreed to have two laser ops quite soon to remove the remaining affected tissue, definitely a good move. However, it will prolong the recovery time for my voice and may take as long as 6 months to get it back properly, and it will not be as it was a year ago. (Hoorah some might say!!) Although I'm saddened, it is very much better than many people my age have to contend with. What's more, another door has opened as this one closed and I'm very excited to have a wonderful vocalist interested in taking on my songs. Just have to see what works out.
Bob, this is the Corey's, sorry to hear about your problems with your voice issue!! Good news about the biopsies, which were determined, that they were not cancerous!! It's good to see how optimistic you are!! Stay Safe Sir! The Corey's............
Bob - You do what you have to do to stay healthy. It sounds like this change could give your songs a new perspective...can't wait to hear what comes in the future for you and your music! Susan
Thank you kind folks. It is as you say Susan, keeping well is the main priority. There are many my age who would just love to be able to get out their front door. It may be quite a challenge to sing after it all but we'll see how it goes. I would also enjoy exploiting my present songs with a new vocalist as the demos are already done for them to hear. If not, the guitar will have to come out a bit more in a solo context!
Mister Bentley, may I wish all the best to you and yours. The voice can be such a fragile and temperamental instrument. We all look forward to hearing your voice. Most important, we all look forward to what musical treasures you care to share with us.
Agree with Peter. Bob you have the chance to be a solid composer as well as a great guitarist. Finding a vocalist for your songs is just a cherry on the cake for us all. Be proud my friend. All the best.
Thank you Thierry, very kind words. What a supportive community we are part of.
Hey Susan, Just heard, "Golden" very Beautiful composition, where do you get your ideas for these enchanting melodies?? It's interesting.....you can write Pop & Country tunes and then you jump right into elaborate instrumentals, wish we had that ability! Great musical songwriting prowess...Bravo!! Stay Safe.......... The Corey's...........
Thanks so much Corey's. Your comments are appreciated! Stay well! Susan
Thanks, Delta, for the stars on my cover of "You Will Be..." - appreciated! It was nice "chatting" with you! Susan
Indeed! Cheers to 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks for the stars on my cover of "Wicked Game", Marilyn! Nice of you! Susan
You are very welcome, you did a great cover of "Wicked Games". I really like it.
Thanks, again, Marilyn...it was fun! I just listened to some of your songs. You have a lot of new ones! I do especially like your song, "Draw That Line" from a few years ago...good hook, and nice performance by the vocalist. Stay well! Susan
Thank you, Susan for your kind comments. Yes I wrote that one in 2019 and I've received great reviews from pros on that one. Stay well too! :o))
Wicked Game, one of my favorite songs. You made it sound great!
Thanks so much, Randall - appreciated!
Some really pretty harmonies in there also, I meant to say b4.
I'm glad you like it, Randall...thanks for the stars! Some songs we do because we love them...for the fun of it. I got this out of my system, and I can now move on :) Susan
Hey Susan, Killer version of "Wicked Game", you really nailed this, almost as Good as the original...Seriously!! 5 Stars & Likes, Brilliant Job, great pick for your voice!! Toodles, Stay Safe..... The Corey's..............
Thanks so much, Corey's! I appreciate your comments a lot! Stay well! Susan
