ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oh Mama Hey!]

Beautiful presentation. Poppy without being disingenuous. This one is going on my personal playlist,. I really, really like it. There's not much critique I have minus the snare having a couple frequencies that stick out here and there, perhaps needing a bit more compression on the percussion, and perhaps a little loose tuning on the acoustic guitar.

Great, great, great! <3 I'll be singing it.

Please, run full speed ahead into this genre, and never stop. You own it. :)

FinnMK responds:

Thanks for the kind words. I hear you on the snare - I can never seem to get a 100% perfect snare tone. As for doing more folk rock, eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh...we'll see. But good to know I don't suck at it!

[Re:Reveris ~ Vocal Ver.]

How pure and honest and expressive. I haven't gotten around to leaving a review on this so far but will continue to study this to do it justice. Let me just say, the writing is inspired. I think you and I know by Whom. :)

Troisnyx responds:

Yes; I'm just grateful to the One who inspired the writing right now. <3

I cannot begin to imagine the effects on the people studying this song to remix it, or even on you -- but take all the time you need; I anticipate your take on it!

[Play it, Sam...]

This sounds more like R&B, but I'd love to hear an extended mix of this. Beautiful. :) Only wish it were longer.

EdKempeper responds:

Hi !
Thanks for your review !
I'll do a remix of this track one day (maybe).
I have not so much time these days, so I mostly do short tracks, that's why it's not a long track ;)

[Hallucinogenic God]

This reminds me of that DeadMau5 ad for his masterclass. I'd love to see it expanded! That being said, it's a bit low-mid heavy and I feel like that's crowding out your percussion a little. Good work!

EdKempeper responds:

Thank you for this review !

Yes, another short track so I didn't spent a lot of time on the mixing part... The snare is a bit too low, and the main synths are too loud.
I'll try to change that on my next tracks ! ;)

[african accent voice]

A mix of authentic-sounding without being over the top, interesting, and funny. Probably the best faux-accent I've heard in a while.

jhern9793 responds:

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my take thank you.

[Aphyllix - NightFall]

Nice organ sound, but again, very hard to hear what's going on, and now that I mention it, the pad is much too quiet, and so is that bass. The organ and other instruments blast it out of the water. I appreciate the writing, though.

Aphyllix responds:

Yeah, I was going to raise the volume, though in retrospect, I can tell. Anyways thanks for the tips. :)

[Aphyllix - Candlelight]

Very quiet. Kind of hard to hear even at high volume. This would make nice spacy background music. Other than that, it's pretty, but kinda has nowhere to go melodically or musically.

Aphyllix responds:

Yeah, I guess I should have made it a bit louder. TBH I think I may have overexagerated the meaning of ambient. Thanks for the review though.

[Sixter-Like We Do]

Sound quality is ace. Wish there were a little more melodic and tonal content. Drops are great, but the whole song sounds like drops and risers, and the vocals don't mesh well when transitioning. It sounds a little thrown together in that respect.

S1xter responds:

Thanks bro i make now a new song it is very dope i hope you enjoy it

[It's a Long Way Down ft. WithoutMyArmor]

Truly undeserving of such a low score. It's not really my kind of music, but I appreciate the modulation and composition itself. The glitching at some points made me question if I were having a computer malfunction. Lyrical prose could use a bit more work, honestly, but it's hard to write about this stuff without sounding trite. Vocals remind me of a relaxed Pendulum. Structure is a bit repetitive slamming that hook home. It kinda sounds samey, so subtracting half a star for that. Not something I would put on repeat, but something I would hesitate to hit the skip on. I have a very short attention span, fyi. ;)

carl565 responds:

Hey man, thank you so much! The thing is, the song got front paged, so I'm sure a ton of people zero bombed it, much like the other songs that are on there right now too. I did not write the lyrics, I actually found them on Google randomly, haha. The guy said as long as credit was given, I was allowed to use them, but they were far from perfect, so I did my best with them. I definitely see the repetitiveness and I wish I would have structured the second half of the song differently, but honestly, I did get a little lazy with that, hahaha. I just wanted to finish the album and get it out. I loved working on this song though, so I am glad you enjoyed it!

[The Eiffel Tower 5000]

Kind of teetering on the edge of really enjoyable, but just shy, and too short. Would appreciate a little more than keys. Give me some percussion!
