ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Contusion (Sonik Original]

Swell

Definitely a change from your usual stuff, and by that, I mean this is dirty, and not in a bad way. You've left your mark all over it. Anyway, apologies for the short review. I'm running out of words here.

Best of luck to you and your friend, Dave!

[Halloween Town (Sonik)]

Interesting

Unlike a few people, I don't mind the intro at all. It fits quite well in such a song. My only complaint is that a few more interesting chords could have been made use of in terms of the bass, such as some deep minors and drops. Other than that, it's quite original - better than a lot of what I hear on the radio, certainly, and the use of effects is tasteful, if not amusingly retro and cheesy.

I love it!

[Fiji - Again&Again (Sonik]

Catchy

Though, as much as the title implies repetition, I wish there were more variation, rather than simple progression - perhaps maybe a key change or two. I realize, however, that that may not have seemed appropriate.

As usual, I like the track. Nice work!

[Translucent (Sonik Origin]

Nice!

The kick is a bit headache inducing at first, but that soon rectifies itself. Then, the rest settles in. My favorite part begins at 1:00 with that bass line, and how you build on it keeps things interesting. It reminds me a bit of today's pop music, and I wonder if that's what inspired you. Also, the pitching up of that one particular instrument at around 2:15 is quite fresh, as is what you begin with new harmonies at 3:00 or so. Very catchy!

Also, is it odd that I'm reminded of the "Imma Be" instrumental by this, or what?

[Grieg - Notturno (4:40)]

Interesting take

You've changed the mood with all your clarity! I like it, despite the original intent of the song itself. You play beautifully, and that's quite apparent. I assume you were reading sheet music, yes? If no, then I applaud you more so. My memory is not substantial enough to remember where to put my fingers, or even how something is supposed to sound, so without music, I'm a lost puppy, if the song's not my own creation, of course. Very nice work!

[Why am I doing this]

Alizee much? xD

Nice chords. I'm not sure why it reminded me of Alizee instead of Edward Grieg, but oh well. I suppose I'll never know. Congratulations, you made me happy!

[The Mountain King (FoD Remix)]

Ah, beautiful!

You has earned mah lurve. Very nice mix to such a popular little song. Catchy too! I listened on repeat for quite a bit without realizing it, actually. xb

[-Grieg- Techno Mix]

Yes! :D

I've always wanted to hear this with a techno twist. Very nice! My only complaint would be the lack of dynamics (sforzandos were a tad lax, but that's not my point) and the kick being overly obvious in its distortion. Good work, otherwise.

[Tell No Tales]

Nice

It sounds interesting, if not a tad clippy. Nature-y sounds are a good touch. I'd like to hear more!

Nakisima responds:

Well hear more you may, the drop down menu to your left holds everything I ever created, good and bad. If I'm honest mostly bad, but crucial to developing my understanding of the program I am using to this day. You learn from making mistakes after all :P Thanks,
