johnfn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ravenholt]

wow realllly good melody! great progression, but yea, variation on the progression is really whats needed here.

excellent track tho.

KamillasRainbow responds:

Thanks! And yeah that's usually my biggest problem with my music.

[Codename: Tom Selleck (NGADM '17)]

aha, some metal in the ngadm! good stufffffffffff. i think the melodies could be a little better - they arent bad, but they aren't super compelling either.

JDawg00100 responds:

Thanks for the review :)

ah bummer about your recording problems! this is a nice start to a track... just needs more. =p

DwightFalcon responds:

Thanks a lot :)

[Neurobop]

wow cant wait for you to meet up with demon-wolf ;-)

pretty amazing sound design with the bass and great mix, but i dont think that the sax fits all so well. it might be a mixing thing, it seems out of tune at some points tho. (2:09)

5TanLey responds:

thanks, dunno about that sax, sound totally in tune to me

[Deadshot Desperado]

danng that section at 1:45 with the swelling strings!

also that really cool melody solo thing!

this track is really neato. =D just needs a better mix ;_;

ConnorGrail responds:

I've gotta agree on the mix portion, oh well such is life. maybe I'll be able to spend more time on the next one :O
In any case, glad you enjoyed

[Quirky Quest]

fun super uplifting dub steppy electronic! i think the mix could be a bit better to accentuate your cool rhythm work during the drop sections but i like this track!

MrKoolTrix responds:

Thanks for reviewing! :)

[Hidden Tension]

another awesome song. this has a great vibe to it. the little melody that comes out at 2:14 is great and could have been emphasized even more.

McGorilla42 responds:

Thanks for yet another kind comment, Mr Johnfn! :)

[Kids]

this is absolutely incredible. amazing melody, amazing production, amazing everything.

i was listening to the tracks from the top scoring auditions, but then my friend sent me this one and it is honestly better than almost all of them.

you killed it.

McGorilla42 responds:

I'm...I'm almost speechless. Those words coming from you, johnfn, mean so much to me and it's lit a fire under my butt to get cracking on a new song, whether I make it through to the next round or not. I'm so happy to have seen this. Thanks so much and I'll try to make the next one even better!

[Stardust]

pretty cool, i thought that 1:54 was my favorite part, but a lot of the melodies seem a bit meandering/aimless, try to make them more interesting! also :48 is so dry, just a bass a kick a snare and a pluck!

i think you should expand on that 1:54 section

Teckmo-X responds:

Yeah I can see your point I've had some people say the same thing but the point of it wasn't to give it too much uprising to the song. It's supposed to be progressive with what I was going at. 0:48 wasn't supposed to have more to it, it was more or less an interlude to the bigger part of the song. Then again I did mention that I used old roots from when I first started music making so it was experimental at most. The reason for not expanding 1:54 is because I know it would have gone on for more than 4 minutes and through my point of view judges are going to be busy with a lot of submissions which I doubt that anyone would want to sit through an8-10 minute song. Anyways your thoughts brought me some enlightenment to improve but I think right now I think this is as far as I will go with this one.
