ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bagatelle no. 1 in A minor]

Good

This is a very nice piece for beginners to learn from. Hopefully I can learn to play as well as you do. I play some piano, but I suck at it for the most part. I can't point out any flaws at the moment, but I can say that it is beautiful in its simplicity. It'd make a nice loop for a movie or game. It's two AM here, so I must go to bed. I've stayed up just to listen to this piece and leave my thoughts.

Hey!
I was worried whether people would understand what I was trying to do with this opus. If you ever need sheet music, don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for gracing me with your lovely reviews.

[Memory trance]

Variety, just what I like

This song is cool. I like it. The tuba sounds really fake, but it goes pretty well with the rest of the song. I think there were too many tempo changes, but that's just my opinion. This is pretty good. I like the intro the most.... before the snare roll...

[dj basewave -burning water MMM]

Good...

... but not great. I like it, but I feel that there could be a lot improvements made on this. The high pitched piano-ish synth and the one you used to accompany it gave me a headache. It needs a lot of work...

[Adventuring Guitar]

Meh

This is okay, but synth guitars aren't good for songs. They just suck. Trust me, I know. Ditch the synth/midi guitar, and have a decent player record something for you.

The bass is good, and so is the organ and synth brass. They sound cool, but the synth guitars ruined it.

Sorry if I sound like I'm being an ass, but it's 1 AM here and I'm having a bad day. Either I'm not sleeping well or I'm not at all. I don't mean to be an ass about your song.

linkfan23 responds:

I don't mind at all. I actually appreciate what you're telling me. I'll remember that next time. I also was going for more of a retroey(?) feel to the song, thus the synth.

[dj basewave-twisting minds MMM]

It's alright.

I like it... Somewhat.... The synths all sound so out of place, even with nice accompanying instruments used with them. This is cool, but I just didn't feel it. Also, I'm not a big fan of the Fruity Loops Studio series, I prefer something more simple, like Mixcraft 4. It has a library (even if some of the loops suck), and it has features that let you make up rythms with synth instruments in clip form. (ex: you can use a drum kit synth to 'build' the drums you have here) Not saying FL isn't good, but MXC works better for me when I want to make tech, trance or dance.

windu190 responds:

is mixcraft 4 free??

[Mass Effect]

Good!

The beginning sounds pretty scary. I'd say it'd be good for a scary movie. I hear a familiar melody in there from another submission I listened to ages ago. Good work! There are so many transitions, but that makes it more cool. In a few places, the synth and the choir didn't fit. That was around 2:09 to 2:20 seconds into it. This is really cool, keep it up!

AvatarKami responds:

Hey, thanks for the review. I was kind of going for something more ominous in the beginning that transitioned to something light and ethereal. As for the familiar melody, I do have a piano part from this song that is close to one of my other songs, Emotionally Screwed. The only other explanation that I can offer is that the melody that your thinking of might have used some of the same loops as I used here. I hear what you're saying about the choir not matching and I tried to fix that in post production, messing with the levels, but some of it still got through. Thanks for the compliments. Will do.

[Airborn (FullQuality)]

Wow

All I can say is wow. This song is pure genius. There aren't any ways to improve it. Contrary to what you think, I'd say this is your best. I like it more than any other song I've heard. Awesome stuff! \m/ You rock!

[NL - Intense Battle]

Cool

This song is freaky and intense, a very good combination in my mind. I can't believe nobody has used this in a game or movie yet. I love the drums and synths used. This is a very good example of pure awesomeness. You could make the background bass louder. It's really hard to hear under everything else.

[Back seat rock]

Nice!

This song is cool, but could use some EQ'ing to take out all that static, mainly on the guitar's part. The loud lead completely covered some of the other sounds. The drums are very nice for this song. I like it!

[Sunny day!]

LOL

This song makes me hyper. Hyper is close to happy, so I think you have that part right for the most part. The saxophone sounded a bit fake, and so did the bells, but everything else was fine. It makes me want to bob my head and half-way dance in my seat. I don't think the crash at the end is necessary, mainly because it didn't fit well. Otherwise, this song is very nice and pretty.
