ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Axel F Remix]

This sounds really rough. No real soul to it. Just sounds lazy to me, and no real attention paid to anything but the lead. Where is a strong bassline? Where is harmony? Where is ... a good hi-hat rhythm outside of the main drive? Nothing is gelling. Nothing is reinforcing. It just sort of falls into pieces at the phrases. The lead is too loud. The snare is too loud. Transitions are too loud. Can't hear much of anything else. Just very weak and piecemeal in general.

PizzaKiller responds:

yeah i get what you mean ,i could do much better with this one...

[A Little More Hinky]

So strange. So good. It still has a 4/4 feeling, though.

[We Are Number One (Desx Remix)]

Okay remix, if not for the AWFUL panning.

[Headphone Heaven - Evacuate]

Pretty good. Drop could have stood out a bit more in the mix, and intro synth sounded a bit cheesy. Other than that, not overbearing. You just need to learn to work your perc a little harder. The chants were a little too frequent during the drop. They became monotonous.

HeadphoneHeaven responds:

You should try out my song "Toxic" I was just going full heavy with this one but Toxic has more elements to it if you are into heavy stuff

[Tenth Avenue North - Worn | Piano Cover]

Sounded great until the final resolution. The bass movement made what should have been a major chord sound... off. That's my only complaint, though.

Skcy3 responds:

Thanks for the review EDM! Just trying to understand exactly which part, do you mean the three chord rotation at the very end? from 1:32 - end?

[Cold - Callum Stamp [AniLover16 Cover]]

Sounds like you have an ok mic, but your mixing and vocals are subpar. Try for more resonance, more like howling at the moon, less like talking, if that makes sense. If you tame that pitch center, learn to mix vocals better, bring that instrumental down a bit, etc., you'll get there. Also watch for distortion.

AniLover16 responds:

Actually, I'm using my phone.. heheh..
But thanks for the advice.. I'll try to follow them in the cover song.. heheh :D

[Skyfox - Memories]

Sounds like a bunch of loops together. Really could use cleaning on the mix as a whole. Too much reverb, no melody. It just sort of sits there.

SkyfoxCreations responds:

That's how Shadow Rewind works. You create a loop and add on. And there's a melody... Not really sure how you didn't pick it up..

And I placed a reverb over the entire track, so yeah it got pretty chaotic. I appreciate the criticism! Thanks!

[Arthur (Song Demo)]

Quality is not that great. Of course, it's a WIP. You need to bring more strength and emotion to your vocals. This is the weak point of this work, largely the wordy structure and hard to identify rhythmic and syllabic setup. Keep working on it.

[Robbie rotten - we are number one (REMIX)]

Decent, but two 808 basses in the same sentence doesn't bode well. You've got a lot of distortion that makes the tail end almost unlistenable.

ninjacreep27 responds:

I defenetly agree. But I'm kinda using sh# t software also my skills are bad :( I want fl studio so bad

[002]

Sounds like a bunch of loops laid on top of one another clumsily. Transitions are off. You had a build up into a build up at one point. Just not my cup of tea. When things would get good, I'd be immediately jarred by clumsy, seemingly careless mixing.
