ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Auld Lang Syne]

This is a fantastic rendition, a lot happier than the original. Almost wish they'd played this at my dad's funeral instead of an orchestral version. He'd have liked it better. Fantastic work.

[The Art of Staying Calm]

This is pretty fantastic. Man, I would love to get a hold of this and lay something down over it. Would love to know any equipment, virtual amps, etc. Just sounds great.

RobSoundtrack responds:

Thanks man! Some old stuff but i really wish i finished this out with vocals i had laid out.
2012?
I think i was using the Engl E530 preamp, into the back of a bogner power section, into a eminence 1x12, into sm57?
Guitar was probably Ibanez rg7320 with dimarzios.

Kinda convoluted, feel free to msg me if this is not even what you were asking lol

[ENtrance - Belgrade (Original Mix)]

This would be a fantastic mix if the mid and high around 4-10k were not so pumped up. Bring those down and my heart will be happy. Also, watch distortion on that piano part, or just distortion, period. There seems to be a little of it going on.

Thank you sir :)

[Azure]

Oh, this is gorgeous. I have no complaints. Actually, I'd love to see a making-of video of some sort. This sounds professional.

[T13 - Millenia (Mix I)]

Oh this is so much fun, cacophony. I couldn't dance it, but it's really relaxing. No complaints, and I can't tell enough of what's going on to criticize. A very confusing feast for the ears. Sounds like hurtling through space.

[Reanimate - (Warak) ~ Pulvite Remix]

Pretty fun little remix. Could have used a bit more consistency on the mixing, compression, etc, but as a whole, pretty masterfully done. I'd have liked shorter decays and releases on effects and voices. Just personal preference. Some notes bled together, and your basses and mids ran the risk of almost cancelling each other out.

That detuned saw lead almost got on my nerves, as do most detuned leads.

[Snake Charmer]

2004? This is better than some of the stuff I hear today. I'm not sure whether I'd call it techno or some hybrid of that and DnB and cinematic. Very interesting stuff, but I think I'm in love. This is just about the sound that first drew me to NG in the first place. Taking middle-eastern instrumentation and blending it into a DnB style build into techno? That's something I just didn't expect, and it didn't disappoint. No complaints. This is vastly underrated. Shame, but I'm glad I found it through NG Radio at least!

[Bawss- MB]

Super dirty, super gritty, just the way I like. Sounds like Adonis for that first formant-y synth. I really like what you did here. The whole track is just full of energy. Feels like a fast paced platformer, has plenty of variation, yet also has a clear central theme. My complaint is the mixing at points could have been cleaner. Some frequencies are sticking out hard, particularly the upper mids. Your transitions are on point though. Overall, this is a winner for me. Some flaws, but it's pretty great.

[Musical evolution by D1sast3rHD]

Came here from NG radio. Interesting stuff. Not always cohesive to a single theme, but I did find the buildup interesting. Wish it were longer. Mixing was pretty fantastic. Nice work!
