I love it, a little different for him which is what I wanted.

[rihannasbe$tfrnd]

This is cute.

[Ryan]

Holy ****. I just found my new ringtone

[lauren198]

That's good. Not so good as Clarity tho.

[k.money]

I want an acoustic version.

[Mhs90]

Reminds me of Burqa (demo) a lot. He kind of overdoes it a bit, but it's still good.

[Dr. Shenanigans]

This sounds and feels like an unfinished demo.

[Whore of Babylon]

At this point you know exactly what to expect from Zedd, and that's a bit of a problem. His music is always flawlessly produced, but his sound hasn't evolved much since his previous album. I hope the new album has some surprises.

Yasss this is so good

That breakdown That's what I wanted from him

Me too!!

ButI like this, and he is an edm artist, not a pop artist to REALLY change his signature breakdowns, I mean R3hab and Skrillex also keep their signature sound!

[MysticNight]

Wait this bops hard though

[phreshprince]

THIS is the Zedd I've been searching for!!! **** that song with Selena Gomez, it was trash.
This is the ****ing EDM Zedd I've been missing!! I hope he continues to work with non major singers

[Jezang Looz]

I liked this song until the first breakdown... and then I gave it a second listen and liked it until about 2:30min in. The last breakdown was way too long and sounded like a old Atari video game sound effect

I'm guessing there'll be a radio edit though so I'll check for that but his stuff is so uninspiring.

[MadelineXPepito]

I'm surprised how good it is.

[lodylody]

He's a great composer and writer but his production skills need some seeeerious work. The chorus repeat after the drop is far too compressed and noisy, what is he playing at?

Gurl, you either have a shxt quality version or what you're listening to it through is whack. Do you even know what a compressor does, or are you getting your shxt mixed up with a limiter? There's nothing mixed wrong with this track at all, so you should keep your ignorant mouth shut.

Don't come for someone in such a rude way when they've done nothing to offend you.

Read and be educated, if you have the intellectual capability to understand it. And if you don't, I quoted three lines that might be simpler to digest for you:

For the benefit of those who are still a little unsure as to what a compressor does, it simply reduces the difference between the loudest and quietest parts of a piece of music by automatically turning down the gain when the signal gets past a predetermined level.

Both limiters and compressors fulfil the same goal - making the music louder. The only difference is the method in which they do it.

Maybe it's excessive limiting. Maybe it's excessive compressing. Either way, my point still stands - the chorus, starting at 2:06, is too loud compared to the rest of the song. Although this part should logically be louder than the section beforehand, it is too loud.

As a producer, I can assure you my headphones, speakers and ears are well-adapted. Thank you.

Limiters actually reduce sound from going above a certain level (and when they do it sounds like a compressed effect, and yes, compressors do have limiting capabilities depending on the compressor) and usually it's easier to use them separately. I'm pretty well educated, thank you

At 2:06 it definitely not compression - I think you're mistaking his fattened up synths/distortion for compression/limiter (http://s10.postimg.org/68dl5jlll/Scr...t_21_58_01.png) - the marker indicates the start of that chorus, which is actually louder than the section before and it is definitely not the loudest part of the song like you're suggesting. #wavelengthsdontlie.

Either way, it all ends up mastered to 0dB. Therefore, limiting reduces the loud parts, compressing increases the quiet parts. Pretty much the same thing. Basically, an admission that I was justified.

There still will be a compressor or a limiter at use; most likely a limiter.

Obviously the base offerings at the chorus for the limiter are more plentiful; there are vocals and many more instruments. However, the way it's been mastered or mixed has created a cluttered and messy, loud soup of sound. The continual step-up of loudness (as you can see at the drop, and then at the chorus) is most likely what creates this effect of excessive loudness. Either way, it should've been picked up on and somehow made more tolerable.

"#wavelengthsdontlie" Well Miss Education, since we're talking about loudness here, wavelengths are irrelevant. It's the amplitude of them that matters.

I'm going to stop here, not much point arguing with a delusional stan who thinks their fave can do no wrong.
