ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Random Song 07]

Not bad, but it's quite short and the reverb on those low strings is bleeding a lot of frequencies together, turning chords in to what sounds like noise. Interesting idea though.

[Random Song 10]

In this unfinished state, I can't really give a good score. I'd be interested in hearing the finished product though.

[Let's Stomp!]

Not bad, but the reverb on your lead is getting just a tad out of hand. You've got some untamed frequencies sticking out. Composition wise and mixing, this is more in line with what I usually expect from you. Pretty good stuff, and an enjoyable listen.

[Hit 'em Like This!]

The tone of that synth in the beginning is a little meh for me. Actually, I feel the whole track is a bit meh as far as your compositions go. That sub hit is popping in the left channel really bad around what sounds like 200 hz to me but I could be wrong. The mixing in general is just really off on this track compared to the quality of your usual submissions. Perc is really laying down in the mix. Rest sounds over-compressed, sub is getting out of control and really sticking out at points when it shouldn't. I thought my ears were playing tricks on me at just how raw and unmastered everything sounds. Do better, man.

[Here I Get Nasty]

Half a star for "big ass man juice" and a lot of breathing in. And some people might dig it.

Ardhamon responds:

The fact that it has over 300 plays and 7 downloads scares me hahaha.

I was actually just fucking around haha

[The Final Level (Orchestral)]

There's a little click on the end of your trumpets' release. Reverb on the snare sounds like that awful Acoustica junk. I would probably use a Reaper plugin if you can manage it, or the Classic plugin with a shorter decay and more dry signal in ratio to wet.

Other than that, it's a pretty good piece. Sounds meticulously pored over.

[-Ancient City Theme-]

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Mixing is a bit weaker as you mentioned though. Could really benefit from turning down the lead and bass just a little and amping up the perc.

[8-Bit Music Loop]

Interesting, but I feel there's no real meat to the song aside from the videogamey chords. No lead, no bass, etc. So I would recommend you study song structuring.

Gamer2-zockt responds:

Yeah I know. But I want to get better :)

[- S3V3N -]

Could have been lit, if there were some drums, or bass... Or anything other than nice arpeggios.

KilzarZX responds:

Check out my other music.

[If You Where Mine Ft. Flame The Odyssey X The Kid Griff]

This would be lit -- if the mixing were better. Can sound a little cliche at points, but had good pacing and phrasing. Acapella sounds dry. Needs some chorus, compression, a little noise cancellation if the noise is noticeable (make sure to find an absolutely silent point to select, then render the track again and see how it sounds, because live cancellation will sound like shit).

Actual beat could use a little more attention paid to it. We have a lot of high end with virtually no low end, and the kick sounds a bit weird. The dry vocals make it sound even stranger in terms of soundscape. Just sounds very naked.

If you're interested in more tips and thoughts, let me know. Tbh I can't tell from this whether you're on Ableton or Cubase.
