[K-Pone]

Cool. It's like typical 8-bit sounds mixed up with modern effects. Well done!

johnfn responds:

Thanks bro! Fully modernized 8-bit is called 9-bit, so I guess this would be 8.5-bit ;-)

Was this inspired by my horrible tempt of chipstep?

Also seems like a good song for an adventure. The mixing and eqing is great tho the beat is a little low in my opinion. The different chords really touches it up alot too, adding tons of variation and everything.

Overall i like how this turned out tho i feel like the beat could of used a bit more variation. Then again im arcane and i always obsess about beats too much so don't be bothered :)

5 stars, fav'd, downloaded.

johnfn responds:

thanks bro! imo the beats are some of my personal best, because usually i just copy and paste a loop and call it done, but this time i took the effort to actually sequence a whole loop out. buuut there's always room for improvement :)

thanks for listening!

P.S. your 'chipstep' song was good, except it wasn't chipstep at all :D (and the contest was 8bit themed, so i didn't really have a choice.)

I don't really like to review music, I never know how to critique it unless it's dreadful. This on the other hand I enjoyed very much! Those 8/9-bit sounds somehow managed to make sweet love to my ears! To me, this sounds like a song you would have for the end credits of a game.

Seems like you enjoy your work. Sucks that the melodies are now pretty much hard-wired into your head ha. Does that affect your attitude towards your music? Does it somehow motivate you to do more once you know it's perfect?

johnfn responds:

Ha! I'm glad then that you left me a rare review :-)

The biggest thing about the melody burn out is that I know that I have to move fast while writing songs, or else I'll start to dislike them (even if they originally sounded great!) There's also this problem that I have where I can't really enjoy my songs like everyone else does, because I've listened to them so many times that I know all the nuances and nothing is surprising or interesting any more. This might sound really disappointing, but it's made up for by how I get to have the experience of writing the song in the first place, which is possibly an even greater joy.

Thanks for the review and the good questions.
