ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(Concerto) Mess Concerto]

Messy.. but I like the odd chords

Indeed, it's cluttered, but it holds some odd kind of beauty.. I must figure this out! Nice work!

[(FL) messin]

Not bad

Sure, cheesy, but not unenjoyable. It's actually cute. The wavy sound in the back ground is kind of reminding me of chewing, so that's why I'm not giving anything over an 8/10 though. It's a teensy bit annoying with headphones. Other than that, congrats on the five minute fun there.

[PROJECT K - ZIGGYRENO]

Again, interesting.

I find the glitchy build up in the beginning to be a big improvement from your earlier work. It seems more dynamic. I'm not a huge fan of the kick (not heavy enough for my tastes, or driving, but it suffices pretty well and doesn't sound offensive, as a plus) .. The melody you added in the piano felt out of tune with the backing at times too, but was pretty refreshing considering that it built up. Overall, it's pretty relaxing, rather than having that heart-pounding energy that most drum-n-bass has. Anyway, nice work!

KI1 responds:

Taha, I see your point about the kick. The style of DnB isn't dirty enough for any strong kicks, it sounded a bit out of place I reckoned.
The melody was done in less than five minutes, I was too lazy to improve unfortunately.
Thanks for you review :P

[SCATTERFIED - ZIGGYRENO]

Interesting

Hmm, nice build in the beginning here - not much a fan of the string synths, but I know that good ones are hard to find. The break down and fresh sounds are a nice change, but it seems like something is missing for a bit until about 1:24 ish. I'd say you need some mid-range melodies to help fill the hole, rather than just the same bassline touched on. Otherwise, I'd say it's great. This is actually more dub-trance, I'd say, given that the melody is mostly the same. Good work though - big improvements here. It sounds pretty fresh!

5/5, you deserve it, especially after all these zero bombers came through.

KI1 responds:

I've looked everywhere for some decent strings and this is the closest I got >_<
I agree with the melody part. I spent weeks on the bass chords and no time on a melody at all... Silly me.
Dub-trance eh?... Sounds good to me :P
Thanks for your helpful insight as always ;)

[One Winged METAL!!]

It goes back and forth...

On some parts, I like the other version better, due to tempo issues, but both are addicting in their own ways. I like the heavy guitarwork on this over the other song, though the other stays more true to the melodies and doesn't seem so over the top with all the samples. Don't get me wrong, I love it, either way, but they just seemed off at times. Anyway, great work. :)

[Tantalus (FF9)]

Silly.

I always thought this song was very whimsical, even for an FF song. You make it sound both evil, sneaky, and hilarious. Good job!

5/5, fav, download. =D

viion responds:

Thank you! :D

[Cloister of Trials"Remastered"]

Sweet. :)

It's pretty haunting, to be honest - brought back memories, really. Is that a metal pad I'm hearing, or just my imagination?

Also, nice avatar. Fang is positively smexy. I approve! Anyway, I really like the song, despite the percussion, specifically the jingle-bell shaker, which sounded fake, getting on my nerves near the end. The rest of the song was very nice, so bear in mind that I'm not complaining. It sounds very real, other than that, and I'm a huge FF fan, so that's a big compliment.

Nice job!

[Dead Alive Song]

Sounds ambient . . and really, really creepy

It's sounds like you said, "I slobber on all the weiners," and "mix syrup fertilizer" . . I might animate to this. It honestly made me burst out laughing. XD

[Kickin' Back]

Not bad, but the bass is squalling....

Yeah, my only problem is with the bass. It's got way too much sub and no EQ to back it down any. Multi layered EQ will help cut that out. Anyway, not bad for such an underrated song.

[My First Rock Demo]

Umm....

Well, I felt like I'd do this song justice by giving it a well rounded review to balance out the last one a little. I'm going to be honest here though. This kind of sucks . . a lot. It's not entirely crap, but way too synthy. The drums in the beginning were the most bearable part, to be honest. Try not using synth guitars or bass, they generally sound like crap. That's just my opinion. The end was pretty cool though.

That was wack... yes.
