ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Buisness Remastered]

I imagined it as an accent on the pronunciation of business, to be cheeky. Nice to see somebody else out there not afraid to mix it up with the titles, as I'm a fan myself :)

demon4hire responds:

It actually was a misspelling on my part almost 7 years ago, but I decided to keep it because I thought it added to it.

[Misham Studio - Apollo Justice Remake]

I might take the snaps down a couple dB, but that upright sounds good, the piece moves along like it feels it should. The muted trumpet sounds pretty natural, as does the brush kit. I may take some of the sibilance off of the vocal and remove some boxy mids, but as a whole, everything sounds good.

Azurenite responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I listened back to it and I agree with the things you pointed out. It's something I can definitely improve on next time I try something similar to this.

[Major Dissonance]

Interesting use of dissonance and bass instruments. Smooth and nostalgic

[Old Vibes Loop]

It does sound like old pinball music. I dig it. Some of the chords are a little dense in the lower range. Feel like you could take them up an octave or invert them, the bells, and free up some space in the mid range for the bass to shine

[Elevator Trap]

Smooth. I would take down the triangle sample just a little. It's pinging just a little hard in my left ear, but otherwise groovy

[Thicc Tabby]

Giving me all kinds of ideas of what to do with this synth. Props

[Aster - Meowsynth]

I love this synth, and I love what you've done with it. Goes to show it by far isn't useless. I might try to make my own meowsynth song! I already made one with Elsita, with much less surprising results. I don't even care that it's distorting a little bit. If you mix in 32 bit floating point that can be eliminated. Then all one needs is a plugin like Smiley vst or Sausage Fattener to crap out a quick mix

I wonder if you COULD make drums with meowsynth.

What were your settings for the bass?

Aster responds:

meowsynth no release all the way decay and sustain. low filter + ott + chorus to imitate multiple voices

[Besmirched]

Sounds like a long theme from an olskool videogame. The static in the beginning is a little loud, but the rest sounds pretty good. I might use a different cymbal synth or sample on your hihat. You could try some drum machines that are out there laying around the web

The song is also quite long with mostly the same instrumentation. You could try to vary them in velocity or loudness, since it is quite slow and slow developing. The instruments themselves sound good, though

[They're Terrible]

You know, interesting enough, I kind of prefer the quirkiness of the original, with the mixing and clarity of the present iteration. It's a nice little goofy theme, with that galloping feel. A little taming on the reverbs with gates or what have you, some light mastering, and I think there would be nothing more I could ask from it. :)

Fantasyck responds:

Funnily enough, in regards to it sounding less quirky than the original, that effect was intentional on my part to reflect how the characters this theme represents changed after their first appearances. Thank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to keep that in mind for my work going forward!

[Soulless 35]

Sick arp that comes in at 30 seconds. This could be a kick ass battle theme with some software upgrades as mentioned in my previous review. You really pulled out all the stops with those melodies in the synths, brings back old computer music memories. Very nice writing all around. Sometimes the best pieces come on a whim :)
