Hey,
I made this short demo for future reference, what are your thoughts?

For a demo that seems great. Could raise Machoo's voice a bit as it's a bit soft.

On a side note, you also just put the whole HxL DJ team out of business.

Probably the best way though. It means it sounds professional, and possibly professional radio quality

I think he meant nothing new as in my work is always good, I could be wrong

Sorry to be rude but its bloody awful, no one will employ you with that. Now this is were i help you, Firstly to much music litrally as soon as you finish the ramp over the music it should be cut off. The voice is also very very muffled the key with a demo is to show you as your best useing a Argos £12 special mic will not do you any favours get in a studio or get some gear together with some dynamic processing. The levels are all over the place as well PPM 6 = Speech PPM 4/5= Music PPM 5= Jingles.

Next your links are far far to long, for comercial radio you need power links, check out capital they are the best at this very well structures ID the Station, ID you, Power link.

EG Capital FM, The Bassman here with you, that was Adeles brand new track Rolling in the deep, checkout the capital website at capitalfm.com to get tickets to the jingle bell ball were she will be performing that. JINGLE Ok comeing up music from ... ... and .. JINGLE SONG.

Very very fast power links.

Lastly is your demo is to long no PD has got that time on there hands mostly a demo lasts 30 seconds before your chucked in the bin so make that you best if you impress them they will cary on but even then 3 - 4 mins max is the most you will get. BBC is slightly longer at around 7 mins but they want in depth interviews as well.

Sorry to be rude but back to the drawing board.
