Very nice song man. It kind of reminds me of Safri Duo's Played Alive. Keep it up.

ZooSafari responds:

Thanks bro! ^^

Welcome Back!

Dude! I remember listening to that song, Remotion Remixed. What happened to it? I mean, luckily I had downloaded it before you, took it off? I dunno, but I like this just as much. Nice job man. =)

ZooSafari responds:

Im gonna upload a better version of it later on ; )

Thanks for commenting! :D

Well, review

Hey Zoo,

First I was not going to even bother reviewing this, but then I skipped some of the song and began to notice some more diverse parts going on. I'm a fan of diverse music so hopefullg my quick skim of your song was correctly judged.

Good:
1) Interesting drums. I like them.
2) I like that nice hard kick. How'd you make it have that loud snap? The bass is quite nice too. Not a huge fan of the bass pattern at 34 seconds, but the bass sound made up for it.
3) FX for transitions were nice. Nuff said.
4) 2:31 is where I start sensing the dance part of the song. I like your drum pattern and bass pattern.
5) 3:53 So I guess my judgement was right. I'm excited about the diversity you put in this song. I prefer more but its better on t he diversity than a lot of songs on NG. Again the drum pattern is great.
6) I enjoyed the chordal instrument. Those are the type of instruments I prefer with high presence not through lots of fuzzy white noise or frequencies, but simply by good EQing and imaging. Well done.

Hmm:
1) No crowd fx. That is very cheesy. You will get your crowd playing in front of real fans of your music.
2) 1:34 okay this part should have been a solo with that instrument. I already said this in part 1, but out of all the cheering parts, this was the worst spot to put it.
3) An issue for me at 2:31 is that high frequency lead instrument. It's a bit too sqeeky and hurts my ears when you turn up the volume.
4) ?? 4:20 That instrument does not at all fit in this part of the song. I'm sure you could have come up with a better instrument than that. 4:49 in comes that high frequency instrument again. Tone down on the high frequencies next time.

Overall, I really enjoyed your drums. This is what made the song stick out from the rest. I can sense you were trying to be more original with extra things like the weird sounding instrument at 4:20 and the vox, however, I think it might have worked against you. They didn't fit well in this song....but that's just my opinion. You can believe it or not. I don't want to reiterate myself so I'll leave it as a 5/5 vote and 9/10 review. Congrats on best of week and thanks for the well wishes of 2009. I hope for the best for you too.

Bye for now

ZooSafari responds:

First of all lemme say....very nice review! :)

About the compliments I just have to say "thanks!" haha and now I'll answer your "Hmm" section :P

1) Well haha good one! But Im obviously not using the crowd sample when playing the song live, Ive already made an alternative version without it.
2) Im not sure whats wrong with this one, I find that part quite exciting imo, but well, we all have different perspectives : )
3) Umm, okay, I never noticed that, but Ive checked the volume of the lead and it isnt that loud, the levels are perfectly fine under 0db, never the less, I'll listen to it with good quality headphones to confirm this.
4) Haha well in that part I tried to give the song a very special sort of "original" touch, it was thought to be some sort of breakdown/drumsolo (as you can probably tell), about the instrument your telling me, I dont see anything wrong with it, its probably a matter of taste. About the part at 4:49 as I already said, Ive checked the volumes and everything seems to be in order, I cant lower the frequencies cause it'll cause the mix to get all muddy, so the only thing I could do, would be to low the synth's volume...but I repeat, I'll check it out as soon as I have my quality headphones ;)
Also, check if you didnt turn up the volume a lil bit too much or perhaps u used bad quality speakers...but anyway :D

Thank you very much for all the time you spent on reviewing my song, I really appreciate all the feedback and constructive criticism you've given me ^^

Have a nice week bro!

Peace

Great song!

I love this song! The beginning was quite catchy and made me want to listen to the whole thing. It kinda reminds me of Safari Duo in a way. Most people don't like the "crowd sounds" but, they fit in excellent. You definitely earned everything keep it up!

ZooSafari responds:

Thanks for the compliments man ^^

Keep enjoying! ;D
