ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[day of big owls and smiling telemarketers]

This has got to be the weirdest title I've seen in a while, and that's saying something. Excellent compositional ideas throughout.

I would just recommend for your dubstep basses to actually give them an underlying sub bass, and possibly less chorus effect. They're spreading out in the stereo field widely enough that they're losing a little steam. But very interesting sound design.

Why is this such a bop

m0onwalker responds:

Guess I’m just Mozart 🤷‍♂️
Thanks for the 5 stars!

These transitions are crazy. Excellent work, particularly on the psytrance section. Such a pleasant melding of genres as well.

[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!

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 😎😂
