ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dancing In The Sun]

Sounds like very simple ... I really have no idea. Has the perc elements of electronic music, and the bass of electronic music, but the instrumentation is close to classical. It isn't hard to listen to, but it could stand to have a lot more than just piano in your composition. Shoot me a mail if you'd like some tips working with Nexus.

[Dungeon Theme II DEMO]

Good composition, but it's distorting very badly, and the volume levels are off. Just too loud, really.

HD901 responds:

K I'll fix that in the finished version! Thank you!

[Hi! I'm start making beats) thank you for the listening my music) i glad to hear your reviews)]

Lots of distortion, but your hats are on point. That's really about the best I can say for this beat. It's just not really that pleasing to listen to.

[Synthesize Me (V1)]

Jazzy, but sounds a bit like canned presets. I feel like you could have taken us a bit higher, considering the great tools you have to work with. The drums are laying down in the mix. However, for a WIP, this is pretty great.

That trumpety/boney synth just kills me. You could really bring it here with something less obviously synthy. Anyone who has ever played an actual trumpet or bone will cringe upon hearing this. Either it needs more velocity and modulation, or it must go. Who knows, maybe even grab a live bone player off of here. There are more of them than you think, and that's a simple line!

What I will praise is the composition. It's compact, together, and varied enough that I'm not bored. Good work!

[.:Dinosaurs (WIP):.]

Absolutely brutal sounds in the beginning, which I like. Lots of pretty wubs. What I'd like to see more of is melody, structure, and harmony. But this shit is fucking... holy god, so many good sounds. Save all that shit as presets, and mail them to me. xD I really like what you've got going on here.

I told Mysterious Presence I would attempt some melody. I'll have to look through my synth library to find something that would work.
Thanks so much for the feedback, I'll certainly mail you the files for the stuff I've used. I'm really glad you like this track.

[Crash Bang]

I really like the choppy swing. I feel it adds character. Sounds good on the shitty speakers I'm using, so sounds like you did something right to me!

[-Glue Factory-]

Dope. Just straight dope. Loops flawlessly too. Volume levels all seem right where they should be. Everything's just great. :D

[-Ion-]

Fantastic stuff -- only complaint, the guitar-ish lead is a bit too loud, and the overall track volume is somewhat quiet. That could just be the bass vs. everything else though. Can hardly hear that vs the rest.

Would be stoked if you ran one of my tracks through the ringer like this. You're pretty talented at this stuff. :)

[Cocaine Is Not Good]

Same problem as your later submission, too much damn reverb -- or at least not enough damping on it. Turn your wet down, or damp it more. This could be pretty good if not for the static and distorted highs in the reverb.

[Static Rain]

Lots of distortion. Too much reverb. Rhythms are good, but everything is just covering that up, especially the staticy reverb. If you're going for trap, I have some tutorials I can link you to.

JoyDisk responds:

maybe distortionwave is my genre, who knows, thanks a lot!
