ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Monster Hunting]

Those falling horns and stabs... That's it. I'm downloading this song. Ending reminds me of the screaming scatter drill we did at the end of Jaws one year. Do I get a cookie?

[The Moonlight Escapist]

Impeccably written, with quite the performance. The instrumental somewhat overwhelms your vocals, though. I had a hard time understanding you between the cymbals at some points. A little more vocal compression might help, along with a tighter EQ.

W3R3W00F responds:

GRMA! <3

Yeah, there's more I wish I could have done to this, but I'm gonna wait till the semester's over to fix stuff up. I'll definitely take these into consideration when I attack it again.

Cheers!

[Thing]

One of the best written vocaloid pieces I've heard. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to get this lilting, portamento going on. I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding the consonants.

Also, the wet heartbeat sound was a bit weird for me. The vocals sound a bit centered in comparison to the rest of the track. Could probably use a little stereo widening. Nice work!

steampianist responds:

Thank you for the review.

[Story Time With Seven (Halloween Story)]

Had no idea you were also a southerner. Y'all were lucky. ;)

Hope nobody missed that food. I'm giggling every so often at the south-isms.

Also disturbed someone was apparently practicing necromancy. Sounds like santeria or brujeria to me? Really weird that at the same place where someone was sacrificing an animal to some demon, a guy goes nuts and kills his girlfriend. That's absolutely strange.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Hi fellow southerner!!!! I guess maybe it could have been Santeria.....or Voodoo? We have a lot of people who still practice Voodoo.
There's a local abandoned military base I used to go to also, and there were tons of the same things there. Maybe that can be another blog entry!!!

[Lovely Kitten - Werewolf]

Wow. Tasteful FX. That's something you don't hear every day. You've come a long way. Nice work! Spooky clubby trapstep = yes. I would have appreciated a little more hi-hat though tbh.

[Sexual Education (Update)]

Beginning is kinda repetitive, and I feel like your kick is sort of buried in all these subby frequencies. Could use a little more clarity between the rhythm, the accompaniment, and and the lead. Writing is good, but it seems very over-reverbed. Would have appreciated more percussion. Snares, hats, etc. Good as a concept.

ConceptSama responds:

dont worry m8 its still no where near done it may drastically change lol concept

[Brings Back]

Not really my style, but a nice olskool type beat. It almost seems like it might be trying too hard to be weird. Well produced, but a little repetitive, and didn't really hold my attention that well.

[Feminist PPG HIM]

Good impression, but could really use FX on it. If you hadn't said so, I'd never have recognized it was HIM.

grimview responds:

What kind of special effect would you recommend? I was thinking of using Audacity's "echo" effect with very short delay.

[-Can't Sleep-]

Weird, funky, and a little wild. Like it. Bit too much reverb going around though. Could have used just a bit more careful handling of that vocal line. Also, this is not ambient. Closer to world.

[{dj-N} Thermodynamix]

Absolutely SICK sound design this time around. Really digging it, especially that sidechained ascending growl. Very satisfying, good phrasing. Least enjoyable was the synth violin, but that's just the over-reverb and weak release. Guitar midi stuff kinda took my attention away from the rest of the song as well and wasn't as fun, but that bass is just nice. Solid and enjoyable.
