ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pentaria]

Reminds me of some of the atonal stuff I listened to, but not quite as avantgarde. I really like it. It's calming. Could probably have stuffed it in Ambient

Eagleon responds:

Thank you! I try to avoid ambient and experimental like the plague unless I'm doing atmospheric/generative stuff - they're both such broad genres that it's difficult to get noticed. It's ok here.

[Grand Scheme Of Things - UAO]

Sounded cluttered around 1:40, and synth at 1:50 sounded really generic, but other than that, it's still catchy.

SoLoR1 responds:

Thank you for the constructive criticism, I do believe I should of worked on this one more instead of just getting it out of the way in a sense! I will have to come back to this one day and make it more unique!!

[Simply Being Loved - UAO]

Gonna be stuck in my head for hours. <3

SoLoR1 responds:

Thank you soo much for all your feedback!! And I am happy to have made something that will stick in your head!!!!

[Mega Blaster]

Great work! Takes me right back to the good old days. Especially loving the glides and arpeggiations. Now if only it looped :P

DaveMajor7 responds:

Hehe, yes it does.
I made a version that looped and I debated putting it up...
next one!

[HIDDEN project - Battle Theme]

Lead comes in a bit strongly -- almost too heavy for the mix, but still a great song. I can hear the inspiration in the 7th chords especially. Great work!

NickKaedalus responds:

Thanks for the comment and kind words‼

I'm not sure if you meant the lead synth at the beginning or the lead guitar at the chorus, but it was a bigger problem in the old mix, which I tried to fix on this one. I think it's a bit better here, but it's hard to know on other sound systems - will keep it in mind for my next tracks though.

Also glad you noticed the chords‼ The chorus and post-chorus have chord progressions I'm particularly fond of. I especially like the base guitar on the chorus, but it's quite unnoticeable in the final mix.

Rock On‼

[With You Tonight]

Nice, cheerful, and simple. I like it! Vocals could use just a bit more harmony to the lead, but maybe that's just my own personal taste.

viewtifulday responds:

Thanks for the review :)

[Light House]

Relaxing yet revitalizing at the same time. I found it really fresh -- can't tell if those are 9th chords or 7ths or what (too late in the morning, haha). But very nice. Saw lead wasn't grating, but it seemed kind of plain. Maybe modulate it a bit, like JoshuaHughes said. I'd definitely love a mix like this!

piggemz responds:

thanks for the kind words again, and yeah, that saw lead is quite plain. i never got around to making the mix but mebe one day

[Stainville Goose Theme]

Loving all the chromatic scaling and whatnot going on here. Beautiful composition! Absolutely brilliant.

piggemz responds:

hey thanks stranger, glad u could catch this ol' tune of mine
