ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Distorted Battle]

My ears are not understanding what's supposed to be happening here, and the loop is not quite perfect -- probably due to some issues with the ng player. I'm not really hearing battle. I'm hearing more, stuck in space, hearing the rays of sunlight refracted from the moon.

NekoMika responds:

Yea, clips at the end for some odd reason, and yea, I get that feeling too. With the "battle" part, it was meant to be regarding battling part of yourself you are unsure of.

[Wick3dRabbit & Nekomika - Summer (Original Mix)]

I'm surprised this doesn't have more reviews. It sounds pretty great. My only complaint is the saxophone. I'm spoiled to real instruments, having been around them so long. A little more velocity/creative use of the VST, or maybe even replacing it altogether with a sample, could have been more effective. It's a pretty cohesive mix with a definite theme, without being monotonous. Nice work, both of you!

Wick3dRabbit responds:

Thanks! Actually we used a sample for the saxophone, but maybe it could've been made better. Thanks for the review anyway dude :)

[Can You See the Clouds Divide]

This is fantastic, relaxing, while also sort of feeling like an out of body experience. Vocals sound almost like one of those schoolyard chants. My one complaint is that vocals feel a bit buried by bass.

[Psybot - cybertooth]

Great to see you're back, still making music. I can hear a lot of your classic style here, and it's fantastic. One thing I wish there was slightly less of is the extremely heavy sidechain. Maybe just a little bit less of that and this would be perfect.

[Psybot - Limbo]

Watch your pitch on your lower register. It's dipping flat. At least, I think this is your voice. I'm impressed. Leveling is nice, too.

[{dj-N} Wubalubadubdub]

Not bad, but the sample grated on my nerves pretty much right off the bat. Production quality was good as always.

[Free your mind]

Saw in review request thread. First synth threw me off, but it wasn't bad. Piano comes in pretty seamlessly. Trying to sense where this is going. I'd have liked it quite a bit more if I could actually hear the bass a bit more than just sub frequencies at 00:51. It's pretty relaxing but the perc throws me off.

Mixing isn't bad, but the perc sounds like a stock loop.

Phyortek responds:

thanks for the feedback, im still on the fence on whether i should continue work on this piece. Is it done? I dont really know...

[Gangnam Style Remix]

Honestly, I don't like it, exception being the chorus. The bass voice in the verses feels... wrong. Certainly not bad, just weird for me.

[Murder Area]

This is massively improved from your earlier work. Percussion could stand out a bit more in the mix, I feel -- that, or it's just kind of flat. Also felt like a loop past 2:00, although the drop after surprised me a bit.
