ArcaneSoul's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[on patrol]

The beat is somewhat breakbeat ish imo. 3:07 has a bit too much reverb in it that its clipping alot unless you intended it like that. The mids could be toned down a bit too. But overall, i love this song :)

johnfn responds:

i'm not actually hearing any clipping. i had a limiter on it (what can i say, im a terrible mixer =D) so clipping would be very surprising! could it have been a glitch with the newgrounds player perhaps? i did intend for it to have a massive amount of reverb but i could understand if you didn't like that.

thanks for the review bro!

[Lizard Dance (CC cover)]

So hows the internet feel so far? For one this is really good for a first attempt.

johnfn responds:

The internet? do you mean ableton? lol. it's pretty good but there's a lot to learn to get up to speed!

you use ableton right? do you have any tips? >:)

[moving up]

HEY I DIDN'T GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO IMPROVE ON YOUR SKILLS.

The glitching was a little lack luster as i probably would of added alot of my variation and the lead should be toned down a bit. But overall i LOVE it <3

Download and fav

johnfn responds:

Yeah, I finished this one a little fast because realized I might not ever finish it. Still thanks for listening. Haven't heard from you in a while!

[hawse moosic finished]

BETTER! MUCH BETTER!! <3

=D yussss

[Hawse Moosic]

So far like the song in general. Nicely well composed and that sick beat. Im listening to this on my new producer speakers so it might sound different for you but i kind of think the bass is a bit too deep? Its not bugging me a whole lot but im noticing it a little.

I love that awesome weird synth you used at 2:02. Has a really spacy feel to it. It has a bit too much reverb though. Suggest maybe just lowering that a tad.

Last thing too is that the triangle is a bit annoying in my ears. But despite all of those errors, i love the chill feeling this song gives off. I can picture this being used with a pimp entering a bar with like 2 hoe's at his side. Lookin all cool n stuff :P

buddyboy296 responds:

thanks so much for the input! me personally when i listen to house i want the bass cranked up like crazy lol =P. and yeah listening to it on my upstairs speakers the triangle is kinda loud. im kinda new to producing and all so i really appreciate you pointing out that stuff

[Slender Snap OST]

Funny, i didn't recall anyone behind me before i listened to this. Now there is this....thing behind me....

[Dying in a Dream]

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)

[Gathering Storm]

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.....

[Happy B-Day Arcane Soul!]

Aww thank you!

Now lets go finish this, lol.

DJ-Babokon responds:

NOPE.AVI

[Shipwrecked]

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
