ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lost In The Moment]

I like the almost reflective quality to this. Can hear the sub kicking in around 00:34 pretty hard. Snapping percussion is a nice touch with all that reverb. Hi-hat sounds a little naked though. Bass sounds at 1:20 sound like they're breathing, which is very cool.

You may want to look at some music theory for your arrangements. You seem to have a good sense of harmony already, but I think that may help you in future compositions, if you haven't already gotten a good knowledge of chord progressions.

Overall, nice, laid back yet serious sounding piece. Good work!

CelestialTrick responds:

Thank you for the review EDM364. I always like having that sound that travels along with the bass.

[Elektricoco]

Felt like practically the entire song was buildup until 1:00. Sloth DJs would love this. The moment the bass came in, the sound waves started distorting. Check your mix. The hook was alright, but other than that, needs work.

Keep hitting that DAW until you make a hit. :)

JMSy responds:

sorry i shoulda stated its just an idea stage atm...its all about the build up the song is irrelevant..was just practising build ups...the bass kinda sounds distored due to the filter effect i believe or maybe its cause its a distored bass im using lol? Cheers for review though :)

[Chilled 1]

Quick, catchy little loop. I like it! The snare is also very nice. Loop isn't entirely perfect, but that's understandable. Hi-hats can be tricky. Doesn't look like you're still around NG, but good work. :)

[Ille Forsan Vitae]

Sorry to hear about your breakup, man. Hold on and push through.

On the song, I like what I'm hearing so far up to the one minute mark. It may just be the chord progression and the tendency to use strings that leads me to think of other tracks I've seen around the Trance end of the AP, but in short, it's nothing groundbreaking. However, it is catchy, and I like it. You may want to explore other chord progressions. The ones here are pretty common. Other than that, great! Your transitions were a little shaky at first, but it settled into a fine groove.

Keep up the good work!

JosephSINAASXx responds:

Thanks for the honest review pal!
Ill get through it in time.

I just really needed to produce something to take my mind off things.
Thanks for the advice and good review though, glad you enjoyed it!
I hope you'll stick around and check out my other stuff (:

[Simple Melody]

This isn't really danceable. Sounds like a bunch of creepy noise. The sounds around 2:30 are really interesting though. Could really use percussion. One instrument isn't all that entertaining!

[Midnight Trance]

Not bad, but it sounds very generic. Sounds like you didn't mess with modulation or anything really at all on the VSTs -- very stock sound.

Felocai responds:

Well I didn't really focus on that too much, I thought that these basic effects will fit and I dindn't want to change them.
Still I'll consider what you've said and try to play with that a little on another song.
Thanks for reviewing :3

[DarkSider (Loop) 8-bit]

Could really use percussion. Otherwise, not bad. Loop is imperfect, however.

KilerDiLeo responds:

I did my best... Still learning.

I might do better next time.

[Warhead]

Perfect. Definitely a hook to remember -- and it didn't even need an outrageous sample like "Smack My Bitch Up" did. Great execution, and the addition of the morse code around 1:10 as part of the riff made this even more memorable. Excellent!

[Something to Remember]

Good, bright piano sounds, and excellent change of mood. From happy to almost somber -- great arrangement. Happy to have discovered it through the portal today! It's reassuring to see NG artist's work put to use. :)
