ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Viper]

Kind of sounds like an F777 ripoff without the technical skill behind it. Not an avid fan enough to know but it just feels there is something missing. Could be lack of hi-hats and other elements in the track. Instruments sort of sound like presets.

K-oztron responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I was in no way trying to copy f-777, thank you very much

[Scorpio]

Sounds pretty cool, although the warping is a mite extreme for my tastes. I'd like to hear the original!

rwbaron responds:

Hey thanks for writing. Yeah the warping is a bit much, was intentional though hah. Here's the original https://soundcloud.com/robert-baron/scorpio

Cheers!

[dub.step.exe]

Monotonous, and there is a lot of distortion from being just way overcompressed and sound-goodized, it sounds like. Exactly what it says on the tin so I'll give an extra half star for that.

Deathl1nK responds:

I know, I over did the compression & distortion just to see how it would sound like

[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!
