ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thing]

One of the best written vocaloid pieces I've heard. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to get this lilting, portamento going on. I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding the consonants.

Also, the wet heartbeat sound was a bit weird for me. The vocals sound a bit centered in comparison to the rest of the track. Could probably use a little stereo widening. Nice work!

steampianist responds:

Thank you for the review.

[Sexual Education (Update)]

Beginning is kinda repetitive, and I feel like your kick is sort of buried in all these subby frequencies. Could use a little more clarity between the rhythm, the accompaniment, and and the lead. Writing is good, but it seems very over-reverbed. Would have appreciated more percussion. Snares, hats, etc. Good as a concept.

ConceptSama responds:

dont worry m8 its still no where near done it may drastically change lol concept

[Brings Back]

Not really my style, but a nice olskool type beat. It almost seems like it might be trying too hard to be weird. Well produced, but a little repetitive, and didn't really hold my attention that well.

[Feminist PPG HIM]

Good impression, but could really use FX on it. If you hadn't said so, I'd never have recognized it was HIM.

grimview responds:

What kind of special effect would you recommend? I was thinking of using Audacity's "echo" effect with very short delay.

[-Can't Sleep-]

Weird, funky, and a little wild. Like it. Bit too much reverb going around though. Could have used just a bit more careful handling of that vocal line. Also, this is not ambient. Closer to world.

[{dj-N} Thermodynamix]

Absolutely SICK sound design this time around. Really digging it, especially that sidechained ascending growl. Very satisfying, good phrasing. Least enjoyable was the synth violin, but that's just the over-reverb and weak release. Guitar midi stuff kinda took my attention away from the rest of the song as well and wasn't as fun, but that bass is just nice. Solid and enjoyable.

[Realm: Illuvation Soundtrack]

The strings are really killing my enjoyment of this track from the start. Mixing is alright, but I'm missing the old charm. It's sounding very flat in my ears, feels a little over-compressed, sounds a bit cliche. Still, glad to see you're still making music! 4 stars for reminding me of the old terrorcore I used to listen to with that distorted kick.
