ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dog Blood style trap loop]

Love it. Mind if I use this in a future composition?

[Pentaria]

Reminds me of some of the atonal stuff I listened to, but not quite as avantgarde. I really like it. It's calming. Could probably have stuffed it in Ambient

Eagleon responds:

Thank you! I try to avoid ambient and experimental like the plague unless I'm doing atmospheric/generative stuff - they're both such broad genres that it's difficult to get noticed. It's ok here.

[Grand Scheme Of Things - UAO]

Sounded cluttered around 1:40, and synth at 1:50 sounded really generic, but other than that, it's still catchy.

SoLoR1 responds:

Thank you for the constructive criticism, I do believe I should of worked on this one more instead of just getting it out of the way in a sense! I will have to come back to this one day and make it more unique!!

[Simply Being Loved - UAO]

Gonna be stuck in my head for hours. <3

SoLoR1 responds:

Thank you soo much for all your feedback!! And I am happy to have made something that will stick in your head!!!!

[Forsaken Neon]

This song really introduced me to this genre and the NG Audio portal as a whole. Love it. Excellent composition.

[Piano in WTF Minor]

As a classical fugue, it's a little lacking, but it's very pleasing to the ear, especially with the odd accidentals and deceptive progression at the end. I like it very much! Some study of theory and you'd be a master. :)

[Mega Blaster]

Great work! Takes me right back to the good old days. Especially loving the glides and arpeggiations. Now if only it looped :P

DaveMajor7 responds:

Hehe, yes it does.
I made a version that looped and I debated putting it up...
next one!

[Lazarus Rising - [8-bit]]

Very nice! I like the arpeggiations and octaves in the bass -- which I know is pretty common, but with the melody overlaid, it makes for a great track. I can see it as a boss battle more so than side-scrolling, but perhaps that's just due to my less than spectacular library of platformers and the like. Excellent writing!

[HIDDEN project - Battle Theme]

Lead comes in a bit strongly -- almost too heavy for the mix, but still a great song. I can hear the inspiration in the 7th chords especially. Great work!

NickKaedalus responds:

Thanks for the comment and kind words‼

I'm not sure if you meant the lead synth at the beginning or the lead guitar at the chorus, but it was a bigger problem in the old mix, which I tried to fix on this one. I think it's a bit better here, but it's hard to know on other sound systems - will keep it in mind for my next tracks though.

Also glad you noticed the chords‼ The chorus and post-chorus have chord progressions I'm particularly fond of. I especially like the base guitar on the chorus, but it's quite unnoticeable in the final mix.

Rock On‼
