I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Merry Christmas" instantly evokes a classic holiday spirit. The prominent glockenspiel melody is immediately recognizable and carries the tune effectively. It's like something you'd hear strolling through a festive Christmas market – very evocative and instantly familiar. The addition of the strings provides a warm, lush backdrop, filling out the sound nicely. There is some nice movement and development in the strings section.
From a compositional standpoint, the melody is simple yet effective, staying true to the traditional Christmas carol feel. One area that could be enhanced is the dynamic range. While the arrangement builds nicely with the string section, a more pronounced crescendo and diminuendo in certain sections would add more emotional depth and impact. It feels a bit "linear" at times, missing those subtle peaks and valleys that can really make a piece of music breathe.
The production quality is decent, but there's room for improvement to truly elevate it to a professional library music standard. The mix sounds a little muddy in the lower-mid frequencies, which somewhat obscures the clarity of the individual instruments. A bit more separation and careful EQing could really make each element shine. Adding some subtle reverb and widening the stereo image of the glockenspiel could also enhance its magical quality. Also, the percussion, while present, feels a little understated. Bringing it slightly forward in the mix, and perhaps adding a touch of high-frequency sparkle, would add a nice rhythmic drive. Ho-ho-ho and other sounds are unnessecary in this mix.
Emotionally, the track successfully creates a cheerful and nostalgic atmosphere. It would work well in family-oriented content, Christmas-themed advertising, or as background music for holiday events. It's not overly sentimental, which broadens its usability. If targeting more dramatic or emotional scenes, a slightly slower tempo and a more delicate arrangement could be explored in an alternative version.
Compared to top-tier production music, "Merry Christmas" sits comfortably in the mid-range. It has all the essential elements of a solid holiday track, but it needs a bit more polish to truly stand out in a competitive market. The production, while not bad, lacks the finesse and depth of sound that you'd find in high-end libraries. With some careful attention to the mix, dynamics, and a touch more creative flair, it could definitely reach that level.
Overall, this is a charming and usable track with a lot of potential. It's got that essential Christmas spirit. A little refinement would push it from good to great, making it an even more valuable asset for media creators.
