johnfn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[General_Leo - Darkness]

Pretty good.

I have to say that it's pretty tough for me to like a song like this - that is without an obvious melody or 'hook'. I'm pretty impressed though, this is pretty good background music. Maybe you could do better with some effects (like crashing in the background or something to add to the darkness) - just a thought.

Anyways, pretty good.

LoneEagle responds:

Hey thank you for reviewing. I'm not into sound effects right now, that's something i'll have to experiment with in the futur.

[Mega Man X - Boomer Kuwanger]

Not bad!

It's not bad. I like how it all builds up to the middle section, although after that it sorta drops off. At least I think it does, I was sort of zoning while listening to it ^^;

Anyways, one thing that you could do with some work on is the instruments. What I mean is that you have a lot of choppy sounding instruments that give way to smoother ones. Its kinda weird and works against the song.

Just a tip :D (technically you'd have no grounds to trust me, except I actually got told this by someone else who DID know ;)

LoneEagle responds:

Hey, thanks for reviewing. Yes, my instruments aren't the best in town. I need to find some decent samples for my instrumentation. I did find some drums samples finally.

Lol, i'm happy that you know someone that DOES know :D , and i'm glad you took the time to review my song. Thanks.

[Cheap halloween loop]

Not bad...

Yeah, I took off on originality simply because, well, IT'S NOT ORIGINAL :P

And effort too because, common, 45 seconds?! Geez.

Anyways. It isn't too bad. I sorta like it. A longer version could be nice...

[Andvarinaut]

Nice.

It is pretty soothing. At points it gets pretty soft, but it's nice. I personally like the songs that are louder, but this is a nice change from what I'm normally used to.

Can't think of anything else to say.

Tancrisism responds:

Thanks man.

[Helix - No. 6]

I love it.

I can't believe just how perfect this piece is. Those synths are just completely rocking. They... they just work. This piece is like perfection in audial form. Even the occasional vocal fits in. I never notice the loop - even now I'm having trouble picking it out. I think I'm going to have to download it to figure out when it happens. :P

I can just keep listening to your songs over and over. Amazing stuff here, man. Amazing.

Helix6 responds:

Sorry I'm responding to your review so late, but despite the amount of positive feedback I do recieve I want everyone to know how much I really appreciate it. I don't ever want to miss a response to any review because everyone's opinion matters to me. Music is universal, and everyone understands it, so no matter what kind of feedback I get I always will try to respond. Again sorry for the late response, but thank you for the positive review.

[Psybot - The last war]

Blows me away, as usual

Yeah I pretty much said it all in the title...

Somehow you manage to fit all those instruments together flawlessly while still having that awesome somewhat sad/sorrowful feel that pretty much classifies your songs, and heck even the instruments work towards that as well.

It's awesome to listen to new songs of yours - it's like listening to candy. Or, uh, well, whatever. You get the point :P

Keep making more... :)

[Psybot - Madness beep]

I love it!

All your songs have this wonderful mellow-ish melody running through them that at first seems happy but seems at the same time a bit sorrowful, and it works so great with the instruments. That synth that carries the melody for most of the time is just great, and I love the pads too =)

I'm glad that you submitted a few more of your works, you're one of my favorite artists on Newgrounds :) I'm waiting impatiently for your next piece :D

[DJ Kiwi - Dextro(Remixed)]

ARgh, the beat

That beat in the background... It just...doesnt belong. I mean, its a great song, but (and this is just me complaining) the beat really brings it down. You gotta change it or something. Other then that, great job.

dmk69 responds:

this is the first step to a final version

thanks for the review
DJ Kiwi

[Deepest in my mind]

Ok...where have i heard that before???

I know I've heard that before... i KNOW it!! What music did you style this off of? Im going to go insane if you dont tell me!! Its not the whole song, just that one piano part...

(P.S. Good song, piano really was nice and the guitar sounded good as well)

Darkvampiire responds:

well it seems that some ppl think is a version of starway to heaven, but IT ISN'T!! lol
In fact I don't remember the tune
Thanks for the review

[DJ Runaway - Ode To A Legend +]

Whoa!

This totally blew me away! The music flows brilliantly and the vibrant joyfulness just sort of makes you happier :) Every note is well thought out to create one heck of a catchy beat. I dont know how you did it, but its superb.

do do de dooo de do do do de do...

DJRunaway responds:

Well thank you :D Expect lotsa more songs like these on my album :D

Greetz,
DJ Runaway
