Well done man. Upbeat fun song, got a message in there, people listening to it, hopefully some decent income out of it. What more could you want? Hope you get some more music out there.

My children will be bouncing on the beds to this one.

edit: Actually, they've bounced on the beds to most z tracks so far

Double edit: I apologise if I was offensive, abre...some of this post was inappropriate.....I go a bit stupid sometimes.

Solid, I enjoyed it.

Did you mix/master only with scope/sonar?

Those are the tools I use, and it would give me something to shoot for if I could produce a similar sound as yours!

peace-

I recorded and mixed all the tracks with Sonar and Scope home. Got it mastered in another studio. There was not much difference.

Hey man, your improvements from your first musical post to this one, is just enormous! I loved the children voices, and the main voices are good too. The sound in general has a nice balance, perhaps there is a slight overcharge in the low end bass.

There is a very small detail I personally don’t like, and this is the end, I would like for it to finish just with a chord, or simply natural, but without repetitions.

All in all, I very nice work man, congratulations Abre!

Thanks Nestor. That's what I need. Let me know where the faults are. If I don't know I cannot correct them.

I'll try to add some constructive criticism....

For me personally:
Initial string synth sound is a bit cliched. Particularly for first impression of a track. Maybe next time, go a bit more "now sound".....whatever that is. I really loved that backup singer...she's wonderful.

I felt the bass sound needed a little variation. I like it round in the verse and punchier in the chorus, maybe sweeping the eq. From an arrangement point of view, I found the use of the bass riff (where you take it up) a touch excessive. Maybe was a touch loud in the mix also. Keep the bass line simple at the start.....has a nice percussive effect....gets the groove going....maybe take it up once.....then take it up later in the song as another hook.

I felt..considering the genre.. it could have used a little more percussive variation. Perhaps where you pulled the bass out, drop the main percussion back to congas or whatever feels right. That sort of thing. Not to be cliched, but to add variation and some tension. Also, I often find about 2/3 to 3/4 through a song my ears are looking for a change.

I don't mind that type of repetitive ending....allows you to fade out however you want. Nice touch, I thought....coz it was used sparingly (ie. only at the end of the song.)

And I wish I could do work of this quality.....my opinions are added in an attempt to add something useful.

No prob Abre

But I don't think they are actually faults, but just a small detali, and you know, it is difficult to say this is "correct" or "incorrect", as likes are so personal. But well, if you see it as I do, perhaps it is of common sense
