johnfn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Carpe Diem]

dang, epic song! its a bit of bad luck you're up against papkee IMHO, you would have a much easier time up against almost anyone else in this section of the bracket. great stuff tho, really intense cinematic work =D

CloakedSoup responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm interested in seeing what the judges have to say for both of our tracks! 8D

[The rise of the machine]

ah im bummed this was rushed for you cuz you're one of my favorites (and this already is pretty awesome)! hope to hear more from you soon :>

[Desistance (Original Mix)]

really really great mix, but the composition could be worked on a little more imho! keep at it bruv!!

KaixoMusic responds:

Thanks!!

[You Are The Air I Breathe]

dang i actually really like this, the whole eternal suffering and anguish thing notwithstanding (ya think you could be a little more gentle with your message pls?). good stuff, great main melody. just turn down some of your reverbs. ;-)

SoulSecure responds:

Hell isn't gentle.

I'm obsessed with reverb, I can't stop myself!!!

[Reborn [Liquid DnB]]

o yea this is phenomenal.

the mix isnt really perfect (the melody/vocals get lost) but thats missing the forest for the trees cuz its still excellent.

... you guys arent really 14 right? that's just a joke right? haha.........................

Zelgeon responds:

Thanks! actually, it's not a joke... We have almost 15 :)

[A Whisper From The Heart.]

really nice piano piece.

i have to admit, parts of this are still the same as river flows in you, such as the downward arp starting at 0:58. idk, i know that accidentally replicating melodies you've heard can happen and its annoying but..........

*shrug*

[Gottcha]

not bad! try to make your drops a little more varied/rhythmically interesting! still a cool start tho =D

JaThu responds:

Yeah it gets a bit repetitive, I'll make a new version once I'm done with ngadm... (mmh... I should have added Reverb to the master)

[Chordive]

too long and needs more variation, but i love love the vocal work you've done here, so i'm still giving it a relatively high score. reminds me of telephasic workshop by boards of canada or something

very very cool atmospheric electronic. also, the mix is very good. :)

[XS - Aurelius (NGADM '17)]

COMPLETELY IN LOVE with the vocal synthesized thing. how did you do it???

the rest of the song isnt bad i guess but it just doesnt live up to the promise of that amazing synth i guess? i think its mainly that the melody isn't really there for me. the dubstep stuff is cool but could be more rhythmically interesting.

nice work tho :>

[Osman - "Stardancer" (NGADM)]

good yeah i can kind of tell that you were rushed here but i like the main melody and also the stepwise descending base section.

always a fan of your style! :D
