ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

Thanks for the feedback. Noted and appreciated!

[Super implosion - geometry dash song]

Catchy, but the drums are absolutely buried. They should be side-chained with that bass. Fix that, and it's fun for everyone.

Poosac responds:

bebe I made this song 3 years ago x) This song is trash to me

[Honor]

Writing of this is pretty stellar, especially that lead line and the drum writing. The mix is a bit treble heavy though. I'm sort of looking for the kick and bass in the mix. It could just be because the guitars are so gained up. Still a great listen though! Reminds me of the olskool.

Ultramartyr responds:

yeah i noticed while mixing that the guitars were a bit too gainy, i turned it down for subsequent recordings. i'm glad you liked the writing, i was super proud of that lead melody for a while lol. i'll make sure James sees this review too because he did the drums. thanks for listening and reviewing.

[Venturescape - Episode 2: Memories]

Beautiful work. Happy to be featured. I've already told you a bit of what I think about this brilliant piece, but it's a little eerie that Jessica died on my fiancee's birthday, lol. Also just noticed Billy's mom stole my middle name.

Could use a little less mid and a bit more high end on young Billy and maybe better recording conditions with less 'verbing, but other than that, great work all around. I especially enjoyed the performance with Kathryn Cloud. Nice, clear, bright, and authentic. You've also done a good job of mixing a lot of diverse recording conditions along with several different compositions and making it sound good.

Nice work! Let me know if you need another piece or some spoopy SFX.

[Black Hole]

This sounds like you recorded audio output on a vastly overtaxed PC. Lots of skipping, artefacts, etc. Also, lots of issues with the volume cutting in and out. That needs fixed before I can really consider this listenable.

DJ-Silent responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah i do not really know what happened with sound spikes but it was a test, i will take this for helping me on my next music, thanks :D
