ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I, the Fallen - Instrumental]

I love that thrown-in-the-lake vibe of your snare.

Great guitar tone as well. Very nostalgic. Playing is also very languid and atmospheric.

I would take down rhythm guitar very slightly, .2-3 dB. Just enough to more clearly hear other elements on the track. I think it may be the brick wall compression blowing things out a bit.

But otherwise a very pleasant listen!

FarFromSundown responds:

I always appreciate your feedback! I feel like I get better every time because of it😁

[The Beast Within]

Absolutely smashing theme, with great driving rhythms. Has that Doom metal feel that I appreciate so much. Also, nice chordage at 1:00. Plenty of people smash the octaves without any mind to 3rds or 5ths.

I think the guitars may be just a tad high in the mix relative to the kick and snare -- same with china cymbals.

That's it. Nice work!

Which shreddage is this?

RedMike7 responds:

Thanks, I'm still kinda trying to find the ideal mix for all the instruments.
I used the new Argent as the main and the second is Hydra wil lower volume and more stereo spread. Bass is Abyss. Pretty much the only three i use. Except for clean/chill guitars, that role goes to Rogue.

[For Jobel]

I might put this in videogame -- it's definitely metal, but it shares more in common with that genre in terms of the samples used, SFX, and overall theme! Sounds like a slapstick evil villain theme!

ThatStupidIdiot responds:

This song is horrendous on purpose but thank you for somehow finding some good in this hell of a piece

[JD Vance]

The style of this submission and the cryptic title brings me back to the old days of Newgrounds. Very nice.

Also, was that a random if-youre-happy-and-you-know-it-clap-your-hands?!

[Minecraft/Jack Black - Steve's Lava Chicken (Metal Cover)]

No words to describe the lava chicken. Beautiful.

I would bring up your kick and snare in the mix a bit. They're hiding just a little

[As the Rust Eroded the Earth's Crust, Our Trust Disappeared, and an Abject Fear Which Consumed Our S]

The longest title I have ever seen enters the chat, and sludge metal prevails.

Also, why is it that there is so much crossover between hip-hop and metal? I see I'm not the only genre hopping crazy person here xD

libbyshimmz responds:

Rock music has run out of ideas, I think, so we're all cross-pollinating these days.

[Once In A Dream]

This bears all the hallmarks of great amateur music production, and very few of its flaws. I sense a limitation of only what sample libraries and mixing/mastering knowledge you may presently have. That is what I would recommend improving, as well as exploring facets of modulation.

Should you have any questions about free resources, don't hesistate to reach out. Seriously great composition!

e-lee-za responds:

Greatly appreciated, thank you! :D

[The End of Time]

Definitely not techno, but I figured I would leave a review as I actually enjoyed several of your compositional elements, I wonder what you make these days!

CreeperX3sssBOOM responds:

I've defenately improved, I'm just making music for my games and stuff, mostly.

I do plan on posting 'em here once they're avalable to share, though!

[Clown song of death]

I love that this masterpiece is still getting reviews in 2025. Happy almost 20th anniversary! What a cacophony of noise. Truly ahead of its time. Today, this is the kind of music hipsters bang to

[2. Free to Use! Untitled 2]

Did you say... oneshots? Where
