ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Landing Softly]

Exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Strings sound great, as does that gritty, breathing percussion. Beautiful construct of electronic music here. I don't think I can really do it justice with words, actually. :)

PompYin responds:

Thanks for the kind words Andrea,

Been reviewing lots of work on here over the last week and 'Window' was one of my favorites, I'll be sure to check out your other work.

[Bounce Addition]

Nice mixing, again. It's got a trippy feel that I like. That may just be the turntable-feel in the beginning drone bass. Great work!

PompYin responds:

I've only really started making full use of panning and stereo widening in the last couple of months,

I think it was someone on here who suggested the Flux Stereo Tool VST, works a charm and It's free.

Other than that I've been trying to pay a little more attention to my eqing.

Thanks for the review.

[Scary In A Tower]

Reminds me of a lot of calmer hip hop these days. Great mixing, and nice little trick on the ears with the background synths moving the beat around (first feeling like the synths are on an offbeat, and later with kick coming in on an offbeat). I really enjoyed this piece!

PompYin responds:

I spend most of my time working within the 120 - 128 range so working at 100bpm is fairly new to me.

Had lots of fun making this so I'll be tempted to work around this tempo more often.

Cheers for all the reviews by the way, It's nice to have a conversation about this stuff.

[In Your Time, Always]

Very relaxing. Love the lead at 00:18. Vocals are pitchy, but that fits the tone of the piece. Sounds like a mix of Lorde and Deftones. I can definitely get used to that. :)

Downloading and sharing!

SoulSecure responds:

Not sure what pitchy means, but I do have to re-record the 'See your picture' verse due to not hitting the note on 'See'.

[Dying Sun]

Interesting around 2:58. Does sort of sound like a dying sun... Or solar panel. I like it.

Stapless responds:

haha yeah was trying to making the second half different to the first half x_x; but thanks :P

[Speed of Light]

It's like hip-hop met old school video games met DnB. Well done!

TwelfthChromatic responds:

Thank you for your kind words! :)

[Go For Landing]

Good buildup and instrumentation throughout. Reminds me of the stuff I used to listen to in '06-'09. Catchy! Could do with just a teensy bit of variety in the percussion once it gets going, but I barely noticed that. Overall a great listen! :)

Marfez responds:

Thanx everyone for the comments. I think that you are right. I was bit lazy in drum section. There will be a updated version with some variation to drum section (not too much if used as a level music) :)

[APC - Embrace]

Very relaxing. You mentioned about the synths. What about percussion? It's niiiice. :)

APerfectContrast responds:

Thanks! the drums are all mostly from FL Studio's packs, but part of the snare is from a vengeance pack (VEH2 if i remember correctly) and so is the kick, which is made up of of a couple of different samples :)

[Friend(Rock Ver)]

Cymbals are really glaring throughout. Could really use a second look because you have some nice melodies buried underneath them.

balancedbirds responds:

Thanks!
I didn't find this problem when I check this music.
Maybe I should change a group of drums and cymbals...
