ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ascent to Clouds]

BRB gonna nut

This brings back memories I didn't know I had.

Really appreciating the 80s and 90s flavors on the percs and the leveling. Very nostalgic.

[Requiem For A Dream [ZdiZdiK RmX]]

Hey!

Don't have the mental capacity right now to write in Russian, HOWEVER:
very much appreciate the acid elements of the track.

I think leads could come down by 2 dB overall, bringing drums up, and not mix quite as loud. It sounds as if you have a brick wall limiter on the master. Bass also could come up in the mix a bit.

Other than that, very varied and interesting take on a classic song <3

I promise I will come say hi when I am more awake!

X-500 responds:

Hi! Wow, thanks for honest review! Really appreciate it!)

[Substance]

I can definitely feel your rock influences in this track. The main melody is straight NUT.

My only complaint is I'd like more saturation on the bass, or better yet digital clipping. Diablo plugin by Cymatics is a great quick and dirty fix I love abusing for this. Screw analog warmth. Give me digital filth.

Nice work dude!

[0i00 - Lobotomy]

I think I would put it as dance

My only complaint is that the song is mixed a bit loud and seems to just have brick wall limiter applied. Beyond that it doesn't sound bad at all, just the whole track is distorting at the limiter.

It has some phonk elements but overall, dance.

Спасибо большое

Попробую пофиксить.


Так лучше?

[Are You Listening?]

I hear a great song hiding under what sounds like digital distortion on the bigger sections. Not sure what's causing it, but I definitely hear lots of reverb creating a wash, a 10k fuzz on the guitars it sounds like, and the drums aren't cutting through the mix as well as I'd like. I would pull down the cymbals and see how that sounds. Smaller sections sounds totally fine minus I can't tell if it's my tinnitus or recording noise that could be removed

Still I hear a coherent track and a nice style once it's a bit more cleaned up. Great work

ADarkerBreed responds:

Thanks for your comment, definitely stuff I'll keep in mind moving forward! I'm glad you enjoy the track despite its roughness.

[Dem0n1x - Echo Of The Past]

Чувствую волны времен далёкого прошлого своего. Спасибо за новые фальшивые воспоминания.

[[GUMI] Rabbit Hole - DECO*27 (COVER)]

Yo, I didn't know vocaloid was still a big thing. But I'm happy to find this. As usually the only issue is impossibility to get them to enunciate consonants hard enough 😭

[Sand Beach | RPG Music | Royalty free + MIDI |]

Got some fantastic sounds going on, although feel the bubbly bell like pluck and some other sounds may be spaced out too wide in the stereo field. Maybe rely on delay more than reverb and it may help.

This is a really interesting piece! Nice work

BottleTopBillFanclub responds:

Thank you so much, yes I do agree with you. You have good advice!

[The Bobronella Swamps (wip)]

I wouldn't say this is hiphop, but it's a nice compelling tune. I would recommend running this through an internet mastering service or something as louder these days is better. I think it would do a world of good to bring the bass forward for that matter

Nisker121 responds:

I don't think it's hip-hop either. And I wasn't trying to make it so. I just didn't know what genre it was myself, so I let the bot define it. The mixing is bad, I know. I just haven't finished the music yet. The full version will be out very soon! :)
