ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

BlueAlpha14 responds:

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.

[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!

[Megaman X3 - Chemical Factory]

Not bad, but some of the harmonies sound ... dissonant, and the hats are sticking out in the mix pretty hard. Lighter touch is needed.

patch it up soon!
