ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Altercation]

Takes a while to get going, and is quite unusual -- even going into harmonic minor. Loving the tension. Dissonance is crazy good, and it's very driving. I like it.

twobyfour responds:

I appreciate reviews for my music. I understand it's not for everybody, and it feels good to see people with a sensitive ear for what I'm trying to go for in my tracks. Thanks for coming, and I must say your stuff is pretty sweet too.

[super mario bros remix - beta]

It's a bit hard to understand where it's going with just the single lead and not much else going on besides percussion. I left a bit confused. I'm sure it could be used in a really creepy level though. :P

metroidfannumber1 responds:

I was trying to be silly. :P

Rap version of super Mario bros.. Ha! What was I thinking?

[slash man corrupted]

Have no idea what the guy below me is talking about. The lower octave came out beautifully and without cluttering the melody's space as it would if it were higher. Excellent work! Only thing that needs any work is the looping -- it's good, but not quite perfect! Good execution. I could listen to this for hours. :)

metroidfannumber1 responds:

Why thank you! I am really proud of this one! I think I tinkered around with it for months but the serious work was within a week.

As for the loops, I never did figure it out. And it always sounds weird when it loops.

[mission accomplished]

Does feel a little unfinished, like you said. I really like the melody though. Maybe could loop it? Crazy gliding sounds great. :)

metroidfannumber1 responds:

Oh wow! I didn't expect you to follow me! Golly! Flattered!

I also have another song like that but I enjoy listening to that more. These songs just feel so unfinished and whenever I add something it doesn't sound right and I end up going backwards. This is hard. I didn't have that kind of trouble with the other songs.

[Kez- Ready(prod. DJ Mathmatik)]

Vocals are a bit pitchy, but I like it. Maybe add some more chorus or delay to the vocals, some EQ, give them that extra punch. I've even heard of people dropping them an octave on certain points for effect.

kenhandra responds:

I feel It this single did need a lil work.

[Kez- Destiny]

I like the message, but the verses don't fit well with the music -- like, rushing ahead of it rather than being contained by it. The auto-tune also got a little grating after a while. Other than that, good.

kenhandra responds:

thanks I was too hyped on this song

[Sounds Like Magenta]

Loving the note bending. Beautiful work. Make those oscillators cry!

GGould responds:

Happy to please!

[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!!
