ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[\Memories/]

Not bad, but this isn't really my style . . .

I'm all for the progressive thing you have going there, but I do think the riff in the beginning needs to be a lot more aggressive . . . Well, overall, the whole song needs to be more aggressive. I just think it needs to pack a lot more punch than it does as it is. The melody should only sound a little louder than the accompanying bass line and counter melodies. Your melodies stick out way too much for my taste. Nice arps though.

Also, the second little riff you had going, I think the second riff you had going on at about 1:16 seemed like it didn't harmonize well with the rest of the song in the last half of it's duration (you know the last half before it loops over) . . .

Good work anyway. You have some good ideas going on here!

Adamaja456 responds:

thank you for the review.
:)

[Acid Nest]

Not bad

I think you should probably work on EQ though. A lot of the bass was painful to hear in my headphones. Also, what the hell was that noise at the end? Anyway, you have some great ideas in here, so while you strive to improve, I'll just shut my mouth, since I'm not all that good at techno anyway.

Overkillz responds:

Oh maan... I totally forgot all the EQ and compressors... Still, thanks very much! The saound at the end was a churchbell =) I'll maybe do all the EQ and compressor work and repost it.

[rock and awe]

Wow

Those are the best synths I've ever heard. Great job!

How did this go unnoticed most of you are asking? It's called being before its time. It probably got submitted and zerobombed by some crazy people trying to get their music to the top. I don't understand how people can vote low on such awesomeness though. Great piece. I might have to try to orchestrate it for marching band or something . . maybe do a remix . . if that's okay, lol.

[Dark & Mild Bass]

Good

I like the arps you have going there. I wish it was more of a song though. With only that level of development, it just doesn't sound completely full to me. Good job on this though.

Thayzer responds:

okk...

[Dancing Mad: Esperoid - P]

Cool

Wow, this is one of the first happy songs I've really enjoyed. I've never really played FFVI all that much, but this song is cool. The notes were spot on. I like the arpeggiating you have going on there. Good job! I don't really have any suggestions for improvement, unless you can get someone who is godly at guitar playing to play those guitar parts for you. That would make it even more awesome than it is now.

I like the sad-ish part near the end as well. You captured the feeling of the song quite well. Excellent cover/remix/whatever.

bitium-ribbon responds:

It's interesting you'd say that about the "happy" feeling, considering that this song is a final boss theme. But thank you for reviewing!

[Dancing Mad: Esperoid - Part 1]

Amazing!

I have to agree with PenguinJustice's review on all accounts. The guitar was slightly out of place, but the notes were enough to make up for it. A different instrument, or a guitar that wasn't a synth would be better for that part. Good job!

I nearly cried, lol.

[Final Fantasy: Tortured S]

Good!

These are very good song choices here, however I felt that something was missing from it in the beginning. That feeling was soon lost, later on. Good work!

Do you think you could possibly do a remix the song in FFXII, in the core of Giruvegan? I forgot the name of it, but I do remember that I attempted to put it on my laptop (and succeeded) with some kind of plug rig and a recorder from my own mixing program. Excellent mixing there, by the way.

bitium-ribbon responds:

Thanks for the review! However, with very, very few exceptions, I make a practice of only mixing music from games I'm familiar with, and I have no desire to become familiar with FFXII. :P

I'll give the midi a listen for fairness, but wishing you no offense, don't hold your breath.

Glad you liked it! ^^

[Esper Battle - FFXII]

Epic.

Great cover of the Esper Battle song. It could be louder though. Everything is better when it's louder . . . at least when it's in terms of FFXII. Good job!

[FFXII - Seeking Power]

Good, but had a few problems

The piano was a bit too hard in places . . . maybe reverb on it would help with that. Other than that, great job! There was an iffy part near the end, but I believe it came out a little deeper than the original did. =)

[FFXII Rabanastre A capella]

LOL

This makes me want to go play FFXII and sing along to it again . . . but I do all that all the time anyways. XD

hilarious.
