ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[neW SERUM=tttype beat]

Neat little beat. Not much else to say beyond I liked the intro rate increase transition, and I wish it were longer

[Q&A: cachi and taylor]

Bask in the bragging of my mini meat cannon. I'm dead xD

[Jungle run]

Reminds me of olskool electronic music, video games, and DJ sets, especially using the birds as FX risers and downlifters!

flashmakeit responds:

wow, thanks for that high score

[Inktober #25 - The Jungle Drum]

Just wanted to leave my 5 here to support yall friends. And also say this style of flow is exactly what I'd imagine on this beat.

Cyberdevil responds:

Eyy thank you kindly Adrean! :) Still not really proud of my performance with this one, could've done better on all bits but the finale - but next time! Thanks for the support!

[Not Enough]

You're describing my nicotine addiction in an entire song.
I have no words for how little my vape gives me. Nothing but flavored air. But it's like a pacifier.

[Orange County]

Just looking at the waveform, I would amplify or compress the mix. This is a premaster!

Vocal tone sounds great. Sounds like Phil Collins. Are you using a vocal AI or do you have that 80s vocal tone just on lock like that?

There's a mini autotune hiccup at 1:00

I think the mix could stand to be a bit more dynamic. The low mid range is slightly muddy due to the preponderance of reverb freqs that haven't been rolled off with a hi-pass as well as what sounds like synth and bass in the same space. You can achieve thickness in the low end with octaves on the bass or the roots of chords, without compromising cleanliness. But I really think it could be the panning of those low synths, any chorus you have going on.

There's a plugin called sanford bass tightener I use to mono bass below 140 hz on my instruments when I've artificially widened them.

2 similar sounding synth patches will also do the trick if panned slightly left and right respectively. Or really as wildly as you please. Same works for any instrument or melodic line that you want to epic-ify.

But you've really nailed the 80s slow jam vibe. Kudos for that!

And sorry to hear about your breakup! I got divorced in Cali, so there's that!

[0i00 - Vota In Ze Faer]

Вот действительно звучит как классики моей юности. Я бы поправила велосити нотов левой руки и уменьшила реверберации, но остальное вполне приятно слушать. Особенно нравится аккордовая прогрессия. Мелодия играет безупречно, буквально играючи хахах.

Спс что прислал

zeroizerozero responds:

Вроде поправил. Спасибо)

[0i00 - Separator]

Интересный выбор, виниль сэмпл звук. Но атмосферу без него не могу представить.

Я бы чистила низкие частоты немножко побольше из-за того, что distortion их разрывает по собственной натуре. А еще поменяла бы пианино на более тонкий вариант этого инструмента. Звучит мне как сток ФЛ пианино, со сильным параметром velocity. Если бы пианино звучало хрупким и вялым, то думаю что лучше подходил бы вайбу.

Но остальное мне очень понравилось. Рада что ты достаточно уверен в себе чтобы так экспериментировать!

zeroizerozero responds:

Это уничтоженный звук дождя, и ещё какойто звук улицы)

Учту на будущее, когда ещё буду работать с дисторшином.
С пианино согласен, но лучшего не нашёл. Это и правда стоковое фл пианино

Сомневаюсь что тут дело в уверенности. Будь у меня больше слушателей я бы постыдился такое выкладывать, наверное. Хотя... не знаю.

Спасибо огромное за отзыв!

I just did this challenge myself by accident and then sat back wondering how the heck I managed. I can't imagine forcing myself to do it! Well, maybe I can but it's a lot harder than just being inspired and ramming through the DAW.

As for my critique, there are some things you can do to make this sound better -- one, compression. If you look at the waveform, this song is pretty quiet. You'll want to throw a compressor on the master channel and pump it up some.

For two, you can reduce your reverb and delays by a bit and hi-pass the wet reverb and delay signals to 250 hz to keep things clean.

But beyond that, I really enjoyed this. It reminds me of olskool NG underground music, of the acid variety. 1:54 was also a really cool moment!

[you were honest]

23 seconds is such a nice moment! I'm wowed once again to see so much great dnb dropped in a single day. I'm gonna have to go to your profile and see what externals you got.

My one item of critique is the ending is super abrupt
