ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deyoooo]

Panning is kind of weird, but otherwise dope. Your bass could have more presence in the mix, too.

viewtifulday responds:

Haha I'm only learning how to make trap and I'm still not too comfortable with it

[Leg God]

Needs some serious master limiting. The highs are distorting, and so is the bass. Otherwise would have been fire.

Also, the flutey piano synth could probably be swapped out for something else. As is, it's kinda laying there in your mix.

[Underground collective WIP]

I really can't pick up the trap except the mild 808 and the hi-hats, which are crazy in both genres usually. If you really want a trap sound, you're gonna have to play with more offbeats. As just a pure DnB tune, it's a pretty nice hybrid though.

You might want to try masterlimiting rather than just pure compression on those drums.

Hallow responds:

It's more meant to be a DnB tune. I haven't seen too much DnB with hats this crazy though.

As to the compression on the drums, if you were thinking of the snares right at the end getting really loud at those high pitches, it was something that I fixed a while ago. I have a better WIP up at https://instaud.io/kRY, so let me know if it worked. Otherwise, I might try limiting the master / the track I have receiving all of the drum sends.

[Trillionz (Original Mix)]

Got some serious mixing problems. Are you master limiting this at all?

Also, it doesn't feel like it goes anywhere. Just the same canned transitions, same cymbals at different pitches, and no really melodic progression. It feels like it stays in the same chord. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth with all those frequencies bleeding into one another, sorry.

Khris responds:

not everyone's gonna like what i pump out, but hey, i'll take what you're saying and use it to benefit my next project, i appreciate you taking the time to write an in depth critique of my music.

[F-777 - Deadlocked (Thiscom remix) [8-BIT]]

Not bad, but the drums need a lot more presence in the mix. The bass and melody are chewing it up and spitting it out!
