JohannAKKAK's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cursed King]

This is so good. The grimy bass that kicks in at the 16 second mark and that harpsichord at the beginning really make this track unique. No conflicting frequencies (impressive considering the amount of synths that play at the same time). Playing with the stereo field might be something you could look into doing in the future.
Amazing job with the track! Keep aiming high! (no pun intended!) :D

LowAim responds:

Glad you like! I love the harpsichord, it has such a unique and eerie sound to it. It works really well when wanting more dark themed tunes which I happen to enjoy, a lot. Hah.

Such a relief to hear about the frequencies, I've spent hours trying to get it right and I desperately want to improve on that. It sounds different in all the speakers and headphones I've tried so far and I was afraid it was going to sound generally bad.

Holysh!t thanks for the stereo field tip, looked it up and wow did it make a difference once you played around with the settings, massive improvements in my opinion.

I'll keep making tracks, that's for sure! Thanks again!

[The Kings]

Nice sound design, very catchy - amazing job. A bit short, but great things come in small packages (tracks in this case).
Amazing job! :D

Teqilla responds:

Thanks a lot !

[-KA89- Bit.Trip(WIP)]

If this is how your stuff sounds when you are sleep deprived, then you must be god-like when fully awake! This is a great track! Perhaps my only complaint would be that it sounds a bit weird when it loops back. However, that is a minor thing compared to the dedication and effort you obviously put into this. The distortion and noise typical of 8-bit/16-bit tracks is toned down here, something very impressive.
Again, great job! ;)

Kyleadam89 responds:

Thanks! I was actually trying to sleep when megaman-like music popped in my head and I had to try and capture some of it(though the greatness got lost in translation) I did however make everything from scratch and I think I actually kind of made a decent nes megaman kick out of a closed hi hat. .. .but truly I appreciate your review and hope to keep this track going strong! Thanks for your support!(I'm thinking it sounds weird when it loops due to the complete change, from drums, bass, and a lead to a solo instrument..just my opinion but hopefully once I get sleep and more work done that will change, lol)

[Krupinkin - Get it done]

As soon as I heard the beginning, I knew I'd like this. No conflicting frequencies, everything sounds smooth, no unwanted noise - amazing, in simple terms. It sounds like it's ready to be published already by itself, but if you can add more to it, I simply cannot wait for the end result!
Amazing job! ;D

Krupinkin responds:

Thank you for the feedback and I am happy that you liked it :)

[Bradley Spectrum - Submerge (Cut Edition)]

Really good track. I like everything about it. Perhaps try to give it a more bouncy feel (although it's my opinion, you could just keep on doing what you're doing :D).
Really nice job! :D

Falsesouth responds:

Hey, thanks for the comment, it really helps! :D
Some of my other tracks are kind of bouncy (in my opinion) but I took a different path with this track.
I'm always trying to find what's best to make, so I guess some of my next tracks will be bouncy!

[Sacred Yet Dangerous]

Very spirity feel. I like this concept, but the pad overlaps with itself too much (or perhaps it's too loud for my taste). However, everything else is perfect in my opinion. Definitely fit for an Emperor-esque figure.
Nice job on this! :D

alexanderr responds:

Thanks mate, I'm very new to this :)

[Mornig Wood]

10/10 would listen to death. Best loop ever.

ThePal responds:

Yass!

[Dungeons are Dangerous]

Amazing! Great thing come in small packages (or short tracks in this case). Great 8-bit feel and very reminiscent of the games of old. The drums give me a weird feel, I hear high frequencies when the kick drum strikes (perhaps I'm losing my mind). However, this is still a-freaking-mazing.
Great job!! :D

LowAim responds:

Yeah I noticed some clicking noise as well when I listened to the tune with better headphones, it should be fixed now hopefully!

Thanks for the comment, glad you like it :)

[Gummy Bear Express | 2014]

I really like the feel this track has. The whole structure reminds me of a classical piece with trance feels. I don't know why, but Dimrain47 popped into my head when I heard this. I like the key changes, subtle but still noteworthy (no pun intended!). Perhaps making a different sound the protagonist for a section might've made me rate this 5/5, in my opinion. Still, this is amazing.
Thank you for the memories, and great job! :D

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you! I must look up this "Dimrain" you speak of.

Your pun may've been unintended, but it sure worked! I chuckled a bit. And you're welcome for the memories. Glad I could help : )

I've never heard someone use the word "protagonist" referring to music. I really like that. Almost like the instruments themselves are characters having a conversation. Eh, I'm looking too deep into this. Thanks for rating a 4.5. Means a lot : )

[Stargate (Remix)]

Very reminiscent of hardstyle (which I love!). Never heard of frenchcore before, so maybe my inexperience in the genre prevents me from rating it 5/5. Perhaps the snares at the 50 second mark don't really fit, in my opinion. However this sounds really good.
Great job! :D

Gibb50 responds:

Thanks man. Frenchcore, I guess is the next step up from Hardstyle. It's often much faster and harder.
Check it out sometime.
