ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scary In A Tower]

Reminds me of a lot of calmer hip hop these days. Great mixing, and nice little trick on the ears with the background synths moving the beat around (first feeling like the synths are on an offbeat, and later with kick coming in on an offbeat). I really enjoyed this piece!

PompYin responds:

I spend most of my time working within the 120 - 128 range so working at 100bpm is fairly new to me.

Had lots of fun making this so I'll be tempted to work around this tempo more often.

Cheers for all the reviews by the way, It's nice to have a conversation about this stuff.

[In Your Time, Always]

Very relaxing. Love the lead at 00:18. Vocals are pitchy, but that fits the tone of the piece. Sounds like a mix of Lorde and Deftones. I can definitely get used to that. :)

Downloading and sharing!

SoulSecure responds:

Not sure what pitchy means, but I do have to re-record the 'See your picture' verse due to not hitting the note on 'See'.

[AlexGoesBoom]

Interesting. Really loving 00:42. Laid back, smooth, and quirky. Nice work!

[Sympathy]

Really catchy. I like the bass especially. Aggressive and moody. :)

[Dying Sun]

Interesting around 2:58. Does sort of sound like a dying sun... Or solar panel. I like it.

Stapless responds:

haha yeah was trying to making the second half different to the first half x_x; but thanks :P

[Chaoz Fantasy (8-Bit)]

Sad to see you haven't come back to NG in so long. You're an inspiration. Beautiful remake. :)

[Speed of Light]

It's like hip-hop met old school video games met DnB. Well done!

TwelfthChromatic responds:

Thank you for your kind words! :)

[Go For Landing]

Good buildup and instrumentation throughout. Reminds me of the stuff I used to listen to in '06-'09. Catchy! Could do with just a teensy bit of variety in the percussion once it gets going, but I barely noticed that. Overall a great listen! :)

Marfez responds:

Thanx everyone for the comments. I think that you are right. I was bit lazy in drum section. There will be a updated version with some variation to drum section (not too much if used as a level music) :)

[APC - Embrace]

Very relaxing. You mentioned about the synths. What about percussion? It's niiiice. :)

APerfectContrast responds:

Thanks! the drums are all mostly from FL Studio's packs, but part of the snare is from a vengeance pack (VEH2 if i remember correctly) and so is the kick, which is made up of of a couple of different samples :)
