ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Prototonus]

Excellent writing. Could really use better mixing on vocals and delivery. Track FX are your friend, specifically reverb and chorus, and compression. Then, proper leveling. Then you don't have to be right up on the mic to get a good sound and volume. Also, falsetto sounds a bit weak and lacking passion/power. Instrumental is a little too loud and sounds like it's distorting at points. This one could go back to the drawing board in terms of mixing. But it was interesting enough I wanted to hear it out to the end, and written well.

Teqneek responds:

WOW that was super critical...
Yeah we kinda just wanted to know if you like the song.

Also about 90% of what you recommended we do- was already done. We are well aware of what vocal effects are, and Rampant is a talented composer/producer who employed the tactics he deemed fitting.

If anything- MY part is the only real weak point, and maybe I'll re-record it some day but I'm actually pretty happy with this overall. So yeah. Thank you for the review though; we're just not looking for people to talk to us like it's our first rodeo and I'll leave it at that haha...

[Dawn Bubbles]

Sounds thrown together, and the bubble pops were pretty annoying. Also couldn't really identify a beat because everything seemed sort of thrown together to the point it just feels like noise.

[Deft]

Interesting. Perc could probably use to come up in the mix. Your writing is interesting though. I like it. Snare rolls are very nicely done. Maybe that plucky synth in the intro could come down a bit, and a bit more attention to volume could be paid. The song constantly gets louder, which isn't great in electronic music. Classical? You'd be A-ok, but not electronic... disco-y? stuff like this

GTard responds:

Thanks so much for your review! I'm terrible at mixing, so I'll try to implement some of those changes once I redo this song in Cubase :)

[Party Beat]

Sounds like a wacky intro to a music video. Interesting, and dark! Mixing could use a bit of a tune up though. Sounds like the whole thing has been chorused and given a bit too much reverb.

xMoonManx responds:

Thanks for your Feedback always nice im just trying to fit in on here you know find my place.

[Chaos Ensues]

This sounds interesting, although the mixing could use a little help. The synths are a bit on the loud side, leaving the track top-heavy. Send me a PM if you like. I haven't done a collab in ... a long, long time, haha.

shinedrummer responds:

Yeah I didn't even pull this from the original source because I no longer have it and at the time that I made the mp3 file I hadn't mixed it. I pretty much just composed it inside the DAW I was using and sent it to my friend for a reference of where I was at lol. Thanks!

[R3CKLE$$]

Decent. Arrangement is good. Synths themselves could use some more fine tuning and TLC. Volume leveling is somewhat wonky. Suggest listening to some more popular music in your genre and comparing the volume levels, mixing, and -- not necessarily the wobbles, but generally the effects used on the percussion, etc. Your drums are laying down in the mix and could use some sidechain to beef up their presence.
