JohnLeprechaun's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Train Disaster]

Imagery's Great

I can really put the song to images, but as is said, the quality isn't that good. I like the instruments, and the theme is pretty consistent. All in all, I like the song.

TheRat responds:

I composed this using Finale 2009, and I have no real experience with audio tweaking. I just write the music. Hopefully I can offer better quality sound in the future! Thanks for the review.

[Call of the Shadows 2 (remix)]

It's Okay

It's pretty much the same thing over and over for the first half, but that same thing isn't terrible, so it's okay. Then it gets better, and I liked that half better. I think you had too many drum buildups though, that really makes them seem less effective.

Smokazzi responds:

Overall Song has been shortened and redone. Second half elongated.
Posted updated version.

[Starlight In Her Eyes]

Eh?

It was the same thing 4 times. You could have made it a 12 second loop and it would have sounded exactly the same.

DjRocALot responds:

Yeah, and ?

[Okami - Ushiwaka's Theme]

Awesome.

I liked the plucked instrument, I'm not sure what it's called, but it was very pretty. The orchestral notes that joined in later were a great compliment as well. No complaints here, I wish I could tell you more but I couldn't tell you how to improve it.

Zorathan responds:

it's a harp thanks for liking it

[Sonic2BossThemeRemake-MJ]

Haha

The beginning was hilarious. And then it exploded. In the best way possible. this is awesome. I have no idea how you did it, but it was awesome. I really enjoyed it. If I had an iPod, this would go straight onto it.

Metaljonus responds:

Yeah I thought of the intro at the last minute I wanted to make it a lil more interesting ya know lol. Download it instead!

[~- Walk Down Memory Lane -~]

This is cool.

I can definitely sense the sentimentality and the mood in this track. As for mixing, I have no idea how to equalize or compress, and I wouldn't even know how to recognize it, so sorry. The song sounds very smooth and there are no sharp transitions or anything, if that's what you're talking about. The melodies are all cool, and there was a great choice of synth.

And you're so lucky, I still have all this week D: But yeah, I'll miss freshman year. It was fun. And I've heard sophomore year has the highest workload ):

BCCB responds:

Thanks for the review! Glad you liked it!

Yes, I heard Sophomore Year was the toughest. I'm doubling up on Math that year. =P

[Flow Part 3: Beginnings]

Hm...

This has all the generic FL Studio instruments, I've noticed. It's not bad, but it wouldn't hurt to mess around with Sytrus instead of just using what it gives you. The really high pitched instrument was cool, though, I liked it. The whole song had an ominous feel to it. Also, I noticed, your other "Flow" compositions all have titles beginning with "The". Wouldn't it make sense to name this "The Beginning"? lol

pcexpert12 responds:

Yeah, I'll be experimenting with more of FL Studio this summer, and I'm also going to buy a Mac and start working with GarageBand and Logic pretty soon, so I'm working on sounding better! Glad you liked it!

[Under Siege]

Very nice.

I've been trying to figure out how to make orchestral tracks and failing horribly. This is amazing, though. Very epic. I can just faintly hear some distortion guitar in the background lol

anmarthi responds:

Well no guitars here. I guess some of the brass instruments could be mistaken for a distorted instrument considering the shitty mix and so on. Thanks for the vote and review;)

[fallling]

Huh

I can tell you had a lot of fun making your own synths lol

tuxteeshirt responds:

:)

yeah, howd'ya know

[kicking cans]

Wow.

I really liked this. It makes me visualize a guy on a battlefield dodging swords on all sides, ducking and weaving and such. Despite its length, it was never repetitive. I respect that. Nice job on this one.

tuxteeshirt responds:

hey thanks for the review

i like the idea of the battlefield

:)
