ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aku and jack]

With better equipment and/or better mixing, this would be fantastic. Are you pouring wine in the background? Lol.

espsiongold2 responds:

lol I was pouring british fortified wine, good ear

[Rick and morty 2]

Accent is good for Rick but pitch should be a bit higher. Morty should be a bit lower and less scratchy.

espsiongold2 responds:

thanks

[Space Walk]

Sounds as if recorded by a potato. Please, invest in some better equipment or put your mic further away. There are lots of screeching frequencies as well as noise. Now, if you have a DAW, some of this can be EQ'ed out. Was very hard to listen to due to screeching. Other than that, it wouldn't be a bad composition. Really need to lay off the super long releases, as everything is running together. Find some way to run this into your PC.

thank you, I always like honesty. i wrote this seven years ago on an old account and everyone was supportive, no critisism at all, so i never improved. i shall now

[Here I Get Nasty]

Half a star for "big ass man juice" and a lot of breathing in. And some people might dig it.

Ardhamon responds:

The fact that it has over 300 plays and 7 downloads scares me hahaha.

I was actually just fucking around haha

[Joystick Junkie]

It's a good song, but it's definitely missing something, and it's quite repetitive. I can compliment your mixing, however. It's just not my cup of tea.

8-bitheroes responds:

Thanks dood

[GreyDay]

Pretty good song. Mixing and panning is where it falls flat, as well as perc and overall leveling. The highs and pads are totally overpowering your atmosphere and drowning out the bass, taking a 4.5 star song down to a 3.5 for me.

Your writing is good, but a lot of your song is buildup, and repeated phrases. You could use a lot more velocity meddling on adjacent notes as well. I see lots of FX and pitch bending, but these should really be afterthoughts once you handle your arrangement. As is, it's a lot of repeated phrases that feel like they go nowhere fast and it feels quite samey. You've got some very imaginative melodies but it takes FOREVER and a day to hear them.

Anyway, minus that, good song, and I enjoyed it. You've got some talent, but remember -- melody comes first. FX comes second. Mixing comes finally.

capsule69 responds:

Thanks so much for such a detailed and critical review.
It's rare that people will give you an honest opinion in fear of hurting feelings along the way.

I feel like I've made progress with my mixes, which is definitely something I've been aware of for sometime.; but I'll look into melody work too.

Cheers
