johnfn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mi Pasion]

Great composition but the trumpet samples are so terrible it's actually offensive to me. please fix them so you can stop offending me. :)

AzulJazz responds:

Honestly, I was never satisfied with the sound of the brass, even though I was looking to improve it with equalization and other processes, I never think about changing the samples, wich would probably be the best solution.

Now I want to change the samples, but I alredy sent the song for a contest, and Im not sure if thats allowed.

Thanks for your comments, and sorry for the offense and for my bad english. :)

[Last Will]

Pretty awesome stuff! I enjoyed your main melodies (also how did you do this in 2 days lol) Just needs a little better mixing. Also you should change to a different type of ending before Skye reduces your score by 5.0 like he did one time for me a few years ago.

;-)

NahuPyrope responds:

It's actually the first time I used that kind of ending!, I thought it fits because it could actually keep going on forever!.

Thanks so much for the review!, I don't think I'll change it tho, what's done it's done xD

[Red Light Syndrome (Original)]

yay im glad you guys made it into the ngadm you are some of my favorite musicians (though this isnt even my favorite song by you!). of course you are against midimachine who is another one of my faves so thats kind of a bummer lol but im looking forward to hear what you make : )

don't forget to spend some time mixing! gogo!

Jabicho responds:

Hi Johnfn! Thanks so much for your support! :D ahaha, yes! mixing is super important

I've heard midimachine's music, and he's awesome! so it's gonna be a great competition.
Thanks again for your words! :D

[Spirit of the Wind Princess]

this mix is a little muddy. but everything else is amazing. the hisaishi vibe is really strong. the progressions are so great and unique! i think my absolute favorite part is the section starting around 1:10 with the big strings. the chord progression, like the chords at 1:34 and 1:46 are just so gooood.

you have to be one of my favorite cinematic composers on here. all you need to be in feature films is a slightly improved mix ;-)

[Kytoon - Stay in Kansas City]

I feel like you have been slightly off my radar for a while now. Let's fix that: YOU ARE NOW FIRMLY IN THE CENTER OF MY RADAR. This song is amazing. Amazing singing, amazing sound design, amazing composition, amazing progressions. If I were to list attributes that I like about it, I'd just list the entire song.

One of the best things I've heard on NG in a while.

GhostLawyer responds:

Thanks man! Glad to have ya aboard this musical journey.

[NGADM 2017 Auditions Podcast]

Wow you have quite the radio friendly voice

ChronoNomad responds:

Why, thank you! I really appreciate that. Although this was my first podcast, I have done
a variety of voice over gigs in the past. Maybe one day I'll be the next "epic movie trailer" guy!

It's just too bad that my home mic picks up all those tiny bumps and amplifies them into bass thumps.

[Wings]

You know what this song reminds me of jordi? A river. A nice big flowey river that water flows through and has water in it. It's basically the most rivery song I've ever heard tbh, and im 100% every sane person would agree

auto tune section was good tho

etherealwinds responds:

*sits here and eats chips*

[Musical Evolution]

I dunno how I got here but I'm giving you 5 stars for the experience of reading this after listening to the first 30 seconds:

"Yeah I thought "how to make a drum and bass song...", and then the idea occured to me that I should just add drums and a bass. I was an idiot :3."

Funniest thing I've read all week.

[Chrysalis]

Pretty much awesome. The only real problem with your old stuff is it's a bit too repetitive, a problem you finally surmounted in "They Taught Us To Dream" IMO.

[Peaks]

hey man are you geometry dash?? I LOVE UR SONG!!!!!!!
