ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sustainability]

Starting in up to 15 seconds, sounding good. Only thing I'm noticing is some lack of clarity in your low mids. I'd cut some reverb down just a bit there, and up your low cut to about 250.

When the guitars come in they stand out really nicely but seem to kind of lay on top of the track. You can double track two guitar lines so that it doesn't sound centered, and apply chorus with a lower dry signal there. I really enjoy your composition though!

Around 1:40, your heavy guitars and or N64 esque bass are covered up by the reverb so that I can only make them out because I know what they are. I think that may be from personal experience with it myself just going ear dead to the composition after so many hours trying to get those juicy spacious sounds.

Compositionally, this is absolutely wonderful to listen to and you have a lot of varied textures. Excited to see more from you!

Thank you for your kind words and detailed review! :3

Wow you have good ears for noticing the instruments used in the track.

[Gettin' Freaky (MAIN MENU)]

This song cured my erectile dysfunction. Cheers

[Blammed - Friday Night Funkin' OST]

This ain't just videogame. This is hardcore trap <3

[Inktober #31 - Credits Roll]

It's so rare to find someone who actually records doubles clean. Olskool asf.

You know, I had an epiphany, you could try some distortion on your vocals and a light chorus. Bring out just a little bit of 5Khz and they would shine nicely.

Also big thank for the shoutout <3

Cyberdevil responds:

Hehe, I know no other way to prove I can truly do these dues, shoot the hoops, tis the school I'm schooled into, where way back feuds would brew, doo ba di dopp shoop-de-do!

You know I actually just tried some basic distortion on my most recent two. :) No choruses of equal caliber there though, that sounds even better, all the more contrast...

And thanks for that amazing instrumental earlier on too! :) Definitely turned into the best year so far; this here's the bar! Hope we can try something next year too!

Funky and relaxed. Feels like it's lacking just a bit in the center, but I do like the stereoplay going on here. Great work :)

[Bob]

Slick videogame noises. It do bang

Could use just a little bit less reverb so it sounds cleaner but otherwise zero complaints

This reminds me of a lot of the intros I've heard to older synthwave soundtracks. I think it could benefit from having more variation in the bass line -- starting with those 8th notes that come in, keep them the same at first, then practice moving the bass note to give the chord a different color. It'll come to you. There are tons of tutorials on youtube to check out for writing synthwave and techno. Good luck!

This sounds like it's mostly made of loops and whole notes. Now, you could do something interesting with that if you had some kind of bass line going on.

Поставлю 2 балла потому что русский любимый язык, хотя аудио не понимаю <3

[Beast - (Cyberdevil & Quarl)]

Cyberdevil always blows my mind with his rhymes. This is something interesting. It's like angry video games creeping me out. I'd like to hear Cd compressed some more, maybe with some stereo widened doubles. But other than that, total klass.

Quarl responds:

Thanks love, I have zero experience mixing vocals. I hope he didn't mind some of my editing. I muted a couple of auxillary recordings that were mad straight edge but he never complained about it. I had mentioned something not long ago to him about having a hang over, heard a "stay sober" adlib and was like "let's not get all political here."

:P
