Please, more dark progressions like this please!

Sorry i havn't checked this one out yet. Been busy re-editing my album. I looked back at some of your tips as well and used some of them.

johnfn responds:

Dark chord progs are hard though...

I was wondering where you were. np, looking forward to hearing your album! (or progress)

Experimenting is good actually. Although it is unproffesional, it help you discover new things that you have never done.

Most of lets get funky was alot of experimenting so that explains why it sounded a little unproffesional. Same goes for shadows 07 and a giver of happiness.
So please, experiment as much as you want and you might discover something cool :B

johnfn responds:

Yep it's true. Experimenting is a little discouraging too because you're not as good as it.

I was pretty pleased with how you rendered Funky, I think that it was better than anything we could have done individually. BY OUR POWERS COMBINED.....

Aww thank you!

Now lets go finish this, lol.

DJ-Babokon responds:

NOPE.AVI

I must say, you are getting better and better everytime. Your doing what im doing with my album songs, trying to show the atmosphere in a scene or story (btw you need to see shadows 07). Now i wish when you sent me that file, you sent me something more amazing and beautiful but maybe some other time i suppose.

Also regarding that, i am very sorry for being awfully quiet with that. Ive had some....roadblocks but i still will finish it no matter what :)

johnfn responds:

Ha. The thing is that I was really totally unable to write a song like this until at most a week ago. Now I know that the trick is Am-F-C-G... (lol). my inner theoretical musician cringes every time i write a song with those chords.

but yeah next time, something better. or perhaps you start next time :O

It's cool by the way, since I'm back at uni now I don't have tons of free time. no immediate rush. but let's get it out eventually =D

i could imagine all the things you could do with a midi. Almost all of your melodies have impressed me to an amazing extent.

I never asked, how much time alone do you spend on JUST your melodies. Infact how did you become so good at them?

johnfn responds:

i've been meaning to write something up about melody, maybe just for you, or anyone else who was interested. It got so big that I blogged it. Man, I love talking about myself. http://johnfn.newgrounds.com/news/post/763976

Ok so suddenly after my song getting a feature which has guitars, everyone is gonna start using guitars? XD

Anyway not much to crit here so ill leave you with a nice 5 stars and a 5 vote (and don't forget fav).

Bafana responds:

Thanks for taking the time to review!

Checked out your track too, I've always thought electric guitars have a place in dance music. Look at The Prodigy for an example!

You use operator and ableton?

Dude......i really need to learn how to use that thing lol. Shit sounds ridiculously sick O:

Kind of overcompressed but all the cool shit in this track make up for it. I think i might actually follow you for the hell of it XD

piggemz responds:

yeah dude abletons where its at. and LOL the waveform is totally square. sometimes i do silly mastering techniques... like adding the same waveform of the whole song on top but an octave up (which i did for this). i might remaster this later. anyway thanks again, ima follow u too

*gives all of his software to you*

NOW DO SOMETHING AMAZING WITH IT! No seriously, some day you should try to upgrade your drum samples or use other instruments. Like your melody making skills are almost begging for an upgrade XD

johnfn responds:

The good news about this piece is that I made all of those sounds out of 3xosc (except the piano), so I am slowly getting better at instrument synthesis. I mean, a month ago every instrument I used was a Nexus preset lol. I found some samples so I'm going to start messing around with them.

The beat is kind of funny sounding. I would suggest maybe tweaking it a little.

The glitching is such a nice touch to the song too as well! As if i am taking an adventure through somewhere. 1:30 the kick needs to be a little more prominent or punchy.

That is all i can find out for now. Are you going to be extending this or is this the final product here?

johnfn responds:

The beat was something i realized was screwed up, but forgot to fix. i'm working on writing down whenever i notice something is wrong.

The kick i turned down right at the end, it was kinda hurting my head when it was louder. Maybe I can fix that...

I will probably tweak this, but I don't see myself extending it much longer.

I feel like you may of found your hidden talent which is glitch music. Please experiment with this more as i feel like you may of found something your REALLY good at.

Also, regarding the project im working on right now, i have reached the part just before the chorus/drop. Do you think after the chorus (unless you wanna do that part) we should add in some glitched stuff for the hell of it?

johnfn responds:

Yes. Let's glitch ALL OF THE THINGS.

I don't know if I would call it a hidden talent... I just LOVE the sound of glitched stuff, so I end up obsessing over it. But I do agree that there is something there. The first time I was messing around I realized how much extra depth vocals gave to a song... vocals make a song sound so much more organic. I am foreseeing a ton of glitched stuff in my future.
