[Within the Woods]

Wicked. Panning near the end was a nice touch.

[Breathing in the Cold]

As courtesy I always review the song that is uploaded directly before and after my upload.

Strange

Triplets into those really big chord stabs definitely feel like it's going to go into some sort of epic 80's song especially with that maracas sounding shakes. To be nitpicky the piano wasn't to my taste. Was it an upright? The melody was fun to hear it was just the really tight tone that wasn't doing it for me. Some good fun though listening through it.

To clarify on the piano I think it's just the resonance of the higher frequency notes that were piercing my ears.

its actually virtualized, i guess i need to get a better patch eh? any suggestions? :)

[Rainworld]

Interesting use of panning. Through headphones though it occasionally felt as if it would pan 100% to either side. Really fun melody, I enjoyed it.

[Lost but not forgotten]

I really like the flow of this song. I also really enjoy the dissonance of those clashing notes you put in the middle of the melody.

johnfn responds:

Thank you!

[Found]

The hollow panning arpeggio delay was nice. It allowed a lot of room for the other synthesizers to pierce. I have to nit picky the mastering levels are just a bit off to my ear. Enjoyable tune to listen to.
Also all that panning especially on the percussion is fun. WHITE NOISE RUSHING OVER ME!

johnfn responds:

This is the first time that I messed with EQ actually, which is possibly why it sounds off. More work ahead of me. Panning drums is so fun, it makes the song sound a lot more dynamic somehow. And then I went and panned like every other instrument for good measure heheh. Thanks.

[Creators]

I enjoyed this.

The tension was great.

L3ak responds:

Thank you! Lyrics are written and a full vocal version will be out for the final release.

[Unassailable]

It's chiptune. Makes me sad about 8 bit collective.

CHIPTUNE!~@!~

johnfn responds:

I'd never heard of 8bc before. Looks like it will only make me sad.

CHIPTUNE IS THE BEST GENRE. ALL HAIL.

[Under a Black Light]

Having fun with the panning on those strings huh? It's a fun thing to mess with. I liked it. Also If i am discerning it correctly I think I heard a choir synth. Nice layering.

johnfn responds:

IT'S SO MUCH FUN I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.

[Some Epic Dramatic Moment]

Good stuff. I felt a bit more excited to listen to this one from you when I saw it because my latest upload was actually created with a similar goal. Those woodwinds with that.. multi oscillator(maybe) analog sound was really enjoyable.

johnfn responds:

Thanks man. Yeah, it's really easy to end up obsessing over melodies for a long time. Even as I relisten to this I start thinking about how I should have moved certain ideas around or changed things. And then I'll have those awesome moments where I'll sketch out an entire awesome melody in like 2 seconds and just need to clean it up a little. Songwriting is really interesting.
