ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[KISS - Drain You]

Okay...

It's a bit awkward thanks to all the flanging on the vocals. It's just a weird song to me... I don't really like it. Better synths would be a nice improvement. ACID Pro isn't exactly the best thing when you want to make a song like this. Sure, it has nice Acid synths, but not much else. Try buying a keyboard or something cause this just isn't your thing in my opinion.

pookicker responds:

Your honesty kills me and I will not deny your opinion. Coming back from your profile, you're half my age and have more talent in the music field than I have and that says a lot so, I respect your word. However, making "music" is only my video game and playing an instrument is something I don't know how to do. If it weren't for my car, I'd probably throw more money into more professional, musical apparatuses and maybe learn to sing. Thanks for listening!

[Winter in Montreal]

Great!

This reminds me of the happiest days of my life. I'd give a ten even if it were'nt this good cause I love flash backs when I'm listening to something. I can't suggest any improvements except for to get a better piano synth and add less reverb or EQ it a little more when it's one of the only instruments playing. Less flanger on the guitar solo would be good. Other than those insignificant flaws, it is a very good song.

Soundshifter responds:

thanks very much. it is an old song, and my producing skills weren't as up to par as they are now. you learn as you go!

[F-zero-Mute City-Metaljonus]

Cool

Something in the beginning just made me twitch. It must've been the strings or something. You could've done a lot better on it. The guitar playing is great, but the other stuff wasn't so good. The drums are good and I can hear them well. It would've been better if you didn't change notes at the end with the choir synth and merely faded it out like normal.

[DK64- Sm@shed Monkey]

Cool!

This is one of my favorite tunes! It could have used a more realistic piano synth in the beginning and a little more background to it other than just a kick and hat though. The techno-ish synths are great. Good job putting those together. I also like the timpani that you threw in there. Overall, I'd say this is great!

[|| FranticMasta ||]

Nice

I like it, but the fast tempo and kick ruined it for me. I was digging everything else, but the kick... It just annoyed the hell out of me. I would have loved it had the kick not been so loud and off tempo. Everything else was fine. That's pretty much all the problems I have with it. This deserves the second spot. ^_^

HouseMasta responds:

sorry that the kick ruined it for you, but i liked the sound of that kick when i put it in. Im glad you enjoyed the song as a whole though :D

~HM~

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)]

Awesome!

I was hooked after the beginning. I heard about it from my friend while she was on my laptop in the Audio Portal (obviously) so after hearing it I decided to review it. This song rocks so hard that it's no wonder that it's numero uno. ^_^

I really can't think of a way to improve it unless there's some EQ'ing problems going on that I'm either ignoring, or just not hearing. This song is one of the reasons why I'm trying extra hard not to lose any more hearing out of my ears since one of my eardrums got busted. It's a good thing I can still hear out of my left (even better than the other one) after the fact that it was busted, or I wouldn't be able to hear the sheer excellence of these soundwaves.

[(WF1) Fleeting Daybreak]

Cool

Sounds like a sad tech song to me. Could be used for a flash back, like jadog said. I'm putting this in my playlist now so I can play centipede or some other arcade game and listen to this instead of classic 8 bit music. I agree with IronRising on the thing with the background instrument being too prominent for this song. Overall, nice work!

wyldfyre1 responds:

the synth is what you guys were talkin about eh? LOL ok yeah. i'll probably end up changing that up or even adding effects in the long run so its not as bad as is now.

[Fears]

Very nice!

This was good from the beginning! It sounds both scary and at the same time, it draws you in to listen. I like the bass you used for this and the way you made everything fit together. This would be very good as a sound track. This is the best hip-hop song I've heard in a very long time. You should go pro. I like the static that you threw in at the beginning. This is going in my playlist, and never leaving from that sacred spot. You have me hopelessly addicted to your songs.

Winterwind-NS responds:

Merci beaucoup!
la seule commentaire descriptive lol
D'habitude, je ne fais pas les chansons de rap
The static in the beginning were samples of turntable needles scratching vinyl I believe. (Didn't know how to say that in french haha)
thanks again

[Rig - Darnell Theme]

Perfect

This does sound like something that would be playing while Darnell was doing his thing somewhere. Great fire works sound effects in there. It adds to the schmexy rythm and mood you had going on there. Is that piano that I hear in there? What atmosphere you have in this song. This is yet another I have going into my playlist! Rig, you're amazing!
