ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Force of Gravity]

Definitely not DnB. Decent piece. Needs a bassline. Very top-heavy.

AlmostLonely responds:

Yeah sorry, I'm happy with 3 stars though. I can't find a good bass instrument so it's basically all treble. I'm saving up to get FL studio though, I'm not good with mobile apps.

[Bane audition updated]

Better. Still somewhat thin, but much better, more natural. Now I would just amplify this.

Also, I would, rather than uploading 2 files, just update the same one, unless there is some drastic change and you make a reel.

zachhemoglobin responds:

Right on, thanks for the advice, I'll get to work on the demo reel soon. The feedback is greatly appreciated as I'm very new to this sort of thing, and am willing to take any advice and opportunity to improve. You've been a great help.

[How We Do Things Down Here]

Not a bad sounding piece, but definitely not DnB. Layered kick gets too heavy at some points but sounds great in the beginning. Your instrumentation is funky. Your EQ is a bit off though. Needs more highs.

Hackmusic responds:

I appreciate the feedback. More than anything I was just done working on this piece I'd done this much and just couldn't get it to sound better in a way that I'd like, so I just decided to put it out to show my account isn't dead.

[Bane Audition]

Alright, and nothing particularly grating, but your voice is a little thin. There's also a lot of breathing into the mic. I recommend you take a look at this in a DAW, EQ and etc., and/or make a pop filter out of a sock and wire coat hanger to help mitigate that.

zachhemoglobin responds:

right on, i'll work on that and make an updated audition, thanks for the feed back.

[Under The Moon [DEMO]]

Mixing isn't that bad. I'd probably record a couple more takes and pan it left and right, since this is olskool-y. Needs a little more 8-16k on the acapella. Witty lyrics yo.

budjohnson responds:

Thanks! Yea, it can all only get better from here, I wrote a half a 2nd verse after I recorded this so I'll get another shot at it all!

[Tutankhamen (Extended Mix)]

That synth in the beginning is just not my jam. Sounds like a preset half between sloppy synth brass and ... I dunno. It's too loud relative to the perc.

Pause before the song begins is a bit long. Preset piano could use some swapping out. Pitchwheeling is good but that piano is so overused, it's ridiculous.

Also, unsure how this relates to Tutankhamen if there are really no Egyptian instruments or deviation into that funky harmonic minor scale. This is alright to me, but the preset instruments and lack of variation are killing what could have been a banger.

HecTicFrigidMusic responds:

Thank you for the response :)
I don't really know how it correlates to Tutankhamen either I just thought of being completely unoriginal with title i was to lazy to create one that really fit. :/

[Arturo323 request-Adventure]

Ah, those stereotypical EDM instruments. Not awful, but it basically sounds like an Alan Walker styled demo track fooled around with a bit, with a lot of preset instruments and structuring. Nothing really stands out to me. Quality is good. Originality is lacking.

dj-h3rso responds:

Hi bro! It is not bad to make a track in the style of the, this I did not do to copy me I just did it to experiment, so you can see that I do not lie, you can find me on YouTube as dj h3rso, there I have different styles, Listen thanks
