ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ADR3-N Drum Test]

It's free because I like it that way XD

I've noticed most people use it as single samples -- though it was supposed to be individual multi-sampled drums loaded as separate patches. Oh well! I guess I'll have to figure out how to program it into a proper instrument at some point.

I'm still updating and fixing things around the pack, so whenever there's an update, I'll let you know!

PS, I really like the rhythms you chose, and the N64 vibe of the track overall

Creeperforce24 responds:

N64 vibe you say? Huh, that never occurred to me! Thanks man!

[Carnage]

Why does this have zero comments?!

[brodyaga]

More like this, pretty please. With a proper outro and I will rate 5

I like how lo-fi, busy, and freaking weird this is. Only complaint, the reverb on the low end is pretty high up. I would recommend turning up the low cut on your reverbs to 250 hz. It's especially important when working with a lot of instruments in the low range.

Otherwise, A for effort, and the instruments are pure nostalgia

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks man! I seriously appreciate it! And thanks so much for the follow! I seriously appreciate it! I’ll try and keep this in mind, along with @G2961 and multiband compressors

The nostalgia may be from the bass, I was inspired by many waterflame songs in the 2010-2014 time period. I think this bass was real popular with him back then :)

10/10 for listing your sauce, period. I would actually love to see a walkthrough on how you go about programming some of these lines, and your thought process.

One thing I'm noticing -- the sub range is just a bit muddy and resonant on that bass. I would prefer a bit less reso in particular. Less reverb in the 250hz and below all across the toms, kick, and bass will help here. The tonic is very resonant throughout.

Additionally, I see lots of little peaks on the master. I'm thinking you could push it harder in terms of compression, if you were to устранить a few minor issues of EQ and reverb.

1:56 is such a great and unexpected chord progression. Very nice touch. Getting into the argent metal/djent I very much enjoy. Somewhat reminiscent of Halo 2 remaster with Misha Mansoor. In short, eargasm.

Overall, great. You're making me want to go on a buying spree for these libraries but I can't haha.

There are two bass libraries you might be interested in -- Zombass and Shreddage II. I've found them to be great fun. And Trivium recently did a one-knob amp plugin for both bass and guitar that I can't recall the name of right now but enjoy using for these applications.

Got any favorite IRs?

[Ziggurat]

Beautiful composition as usual. Very in tense, and unrelenting. I especially enjoy 1:15 to 1:50.

I have absolutely no problem with the programmed guitar. A bit more polish on the midi quantization and maybe a bit of running through to clean up the lower intervals -- de-mud -- will work wonders.

I have no idea why people insist we PLAY instruments in this age, if we are primarily composers. There is nothing wrong with either-or. I sympathize as an occasional bass player.

I will say the master is pretty quiet and a bit peaky. Might revisit that, and back off the fizz on the amps. It reminds me of my old work, where I would accidentally put the amp after the cab only to notice after I submitted xD

[Taco Body Boat Bitch]

This is so stupid, and I love it. I don't know what it is about this sample that lends itself so much to house -- the demo I'm working on with it is also coincidentally house xD

VariableGR responds:

Ouh shit hahahhaa thanks!
I can't wait to hear it! hahaha 😎😂

[NG's 30th Anniversary Music Collab]

Even having heard some of the individual parts working on this collab, the result and cohesion between parts shocked me! Sad I missed the release (my phone and car broke down at the same time) but glad I could take part!

[So cold]

WILD to hear Aalasteir rapping. Made me smile from ear to ear!

[SHOTS]

Really interesting idea for a beat. I especially like the intro. I think the 808 could use swapping out though for another stronger one. I have a bunch of these in a free sample pack I made. You can download them wholesale from my gumroad or grab them individually off the left hand panel of my profile under "my samples"
