JohnnyFrizz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fallen Ascension (No Vocals)]

Been having this one on my to do list for a while man, finally got some time to listen to the whole piece and I have to say it's fenomenal!!!

This has an amazing sound quality pairing those of other professional scores I've heard, I quite like how you play with the percussion around min 1:20 the dynamics here are amazing!!

Then the break and you got some niiice eerie pads and textures! The sound here is so full and rich, love the atmosphere and movement you created here, it makes the track feel alive! And when the melody starts coming back around 3:00 is just pure delight and gives you a feel of resolve but also intrigue!

Fantastic work my man! You never let down ;)

Johnny, I truly appreciate your in-depth review and great score! You critiqued this the same way I typically critique songs by breaking it down to each element. Your kind words really mean a lot to me and motivate me to continue to strive to produce even better quality. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this little tune so much. Thanks again, broski!

[Mini Fantasy (Loop)]

Excellent! Sounds like the build up of an awesome trance track! I have to admit a wasn't a big fan of that last bit where all the energy kinda fades away into darkness, I do like how it sounds like you reversed the instruments it gives a very ominous vibe, the highs are too dominant in this part it kinda hurt my ears, I would recommend cutting the high end on some of the reversed strings? (instruments) playing here.

Other than that Im really looking forward to that beat drop ;)

Peace bro!

Stroberider responds:

Appreciate ya, Johnny!

I agree, there's lots to be refined on this, especially the high tones. I just kinda hit this writer's block near the end and just left it the way it is for now. Once I get more time I'll come back at it to make it into a full length anthem.

I'm happy you enjoy it for what it is. Thanks again for your great score and review, Johnny!

[Dreamscape (Techn-O-Matic Theme)]

OOOOOh brother!! I like me some ol skull technooo vibes B]

I absolutely love your style, keep making tracks like this bro! Reminds me of the good ol days of 90s rave culture! Don't ever let this style die man, I really love that little bridge at 02:24 right before the phat synth at 2:39 if you could just extend that part for another 16 bars it would be awesome! (to me at least lol)

Overall I just love this man its a piece full of nostalgia and good memories, keep it up brother, always looking forward to your next track!

JF

Stroberider responds:

Awesome! I'm glad you dig! This style is a lot more reminiscent of my older stuff with all of the progressive builds leading into the climax.

90's Trance is the best, imo. ^_^ That little synth is a layered poly-synth in Malström with a little reverb. Just a catchy little harmonizing synth lead that links into the pad section.

I really appreciate your kind review and continued support, JF! Keep your ears peeled for my updated Dreamfall track that I'm finally finishing. Thanks again, bro!

[Runa - Through the Stars]

Increíble work!! The sound design in this is amazing and the mixing is pretty much flawless, congratulations!

My only complaint would be the piano Vst you used for the intro, sounds extremely flat and unprofessional and unfortunately it'll drive people away from this amazing track, I strongly recommend you change it, I use Reason's grand piano for most of my piano work, Reason has got some amazing pianos, now if you wanna go a different route, I also recommend using a lofi piano, it would fit better with the overall feel of this track imho.

Great work!
JF

Runanova responds:

Done ;D
Thanks a lot!

[Daughter - Still (Aydin's Remix)]

Amazing remix my friend! Wow I was not expecting that drop at 0:55 THICK AF!!

Flawlessly mixed and elegantly executed!

Not much else to say, just wondering why you consider this ambient? Sounds to me more like Dubstep (well made dubstep of course lol)

Looking forward to hear more from you!

Aydin-Jewelz123 responds:

Awesome feedback dude!

Yeah the genre things i need to tag better. Dubstep on here strikes me more as that heavy growly style whereas this track is much softer so I went for ambient. I'll change it if I can :)

[Miniature Fantasy (Radio Edit)]

I love this tune!! Man the nostalgia! This takes me back bruuuuh!!!

Please do an updated version of this song!! I'd love to hear a remaster of this or even work on it myself if you still have the flp ;)

*2:46 grabs a pair of techno glowsticks and dances like a maniac*

WHOOOO!!!

Stroberider responds:

Ahaha, nice! I'm so thrilled that people still love this old-school track. Unfortunately, I do not have the original Cubase .cpr file due to it being produced four computers ago. However, I'd love to see what you're able to construct this as in FL Studio (I believe that's what you said you use). Once I get Reason 10.2 next week this will definitely be in my line-up of tracks to produce along with finishing "Dreamfall"...finally!

Thank you so much for the great score and review, Johnny! Keep your ears out for new releases!😁

[T.E.O.M. - Grustler (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Really good my friend! You got some mad skills, we should collaborate some time, I think we turn out something interesting ;)

[Electro Test 2]

Pretty cool! This is really well mixed and executed!

Looking forward to listening to the full length track when finished :)

[Ode to Stove]

Agreed with IoTheEternal down there! This is the greatest song evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!
