ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I HATE ANTS]

Sounds like you could use a better mic, but the vibe is on 100
Try compressing the vocal a bit harder
If you can afford 60 USD or so, I use Howard Benson Vocals, which is an all in 1. Anything with makeup gain will help a lot though. I would also center the low frequencies of the vocal and perhaps use a delay instead of panning hard left and right

This is hilarious though. great work

Dry responds:

I just got a new mic

[Live And Lead [Jamuary Day 30]]

The bass happened
and then I nutted

That bush library of yours smacks pretty hard!

Quarl responds:

lol, I wish I could remember who uploaded it.

[continuity error Jazz/IDM/Future [MUSIC VIDEO]]

FP I think is well deserved. As a composition it is simple due to using crashes as chord changes, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The only thing I would take down is the HISSSSSSS on that one sample by a few DB and potentially get some verb or delay on those jazzy chords.

I really enjoyed it. Took me on a mental journey through a coffee shop full of grenades and pokemon for some reason

Quarl responds:

Yeah, highs sounded a little obnoxious on some speakers. I rushed this one without mastering because I'm just really lazy D:

[Strange Times]

Let's GO!
This piece is a slowburner, but it's so worth it. Frontpage well deserved!

[load region of deja vu]

This is quality. Your vocal mix in particular. I would mix the drums differently and perhaps choose different samples/kits. They are sitting back really far in the mix. Sidechaining kick and snare, widening cymbals may help

But otherwise great work!

deadman responds:

thank u for the feedback! :3

[░▒░▒▒░I]

Я знаю что ты сказал, не слушай первые треки, но этот я не могла отрицать (то название!) И по моему, отлично писал мелодии. Действительно прикольно. Я хочу делать сэмпл, если ты не против.

zeroizerozero responds:

Очень, неожиданно.
Да, название конечно сильное...
О, это первый мой трек на котором я вижу оценку (звёзды эти).
Конечно же я не против

[0i00 - Phonk Hernia °°°]

Скажу честно, не очень то разбираюсь во Фонке, но сами идеи представленные в треке понятные, четкие, и простые в хорошем смысле.

Я только бы советовала смотреть на басс. Делай как можно больше, чтобы на нем не были никаких ревербераций, и он сидел (лишь в низких частотях) практически в моно для 0-120 Hz. Это помогает сохранить чувство звуковой целости на ухо и конечно пространство в миксе.

В общем, мне нравится трек. Звучит как некий кислотой сон. А это конечно энергия фонка. Если хотел идти дальше во сфере характеристиков фонка, то я бы советовала следовать более или менее типичным шаблонам барабанов и хай-хетов. Но сама песня хороша как есть. Она другая по своему, свежая

zeroizerozero responds:

Спасибо за приятный отзыв!

Ок, постараюсь лучше следить за басом. Не буду оставлять его фоном.

Это самый простой шаблон драмки их видео какогото школьника на ютубе. Мне наверное стоило бы чуть больше напрягтись)

[0i00 - Memories of Tomorrow]

You said you were going for witch house and got drill ambient? Yo, happens to me all the time. And I have no idea how to even go about genres most of the time.

I think you have a lot of great ideas here, and a wonderful ambience with that pad. I would take your hihats down very slightly in the mix and actually cut a bit of sub off of your bass -- boost the mids and overdrive it a bit, however you would like to achieve that whether with clipping or not.

Side-chain for kick and snare against the pads and bass would give a bit of more breath to the arrangement. A delay or reverb on the snare also. You can cut low mid frequencies and add some crunchy fx as well there.

Overall, love the theme. Great work!

zeroizerozero responds:

Thank you so much for your constructive and helpful feedback! And thank you for the nice words.
Sorry, my comment can be a bit difficult to read. I use a translator.

[Conflicted [Jamuary Day 8]]

A song a day, Jesus! I can't even

Very minimal, but also quite interesting. Only a few changes I'd make, increase level of the sub bass sitting down below the wobbity wobs. Take triangle sample and hats down slightly. Increase snare and remove the phaser or chorus/widener on it. Add a delay or a verb there. Compress the shit out of strings and other backing instruments.

But a nice, cohesive whole. Very impressive for a song challenge, as writer's block is bound to slap you upside the eyeballs and pushing through it can have very mixed results. I think you did just fine

Quarl responds:

lmao, thanks for the drive-by ADR3-N. I've found that the January song a day event leads to a few beautiful gems along the way. It's easy to get stuck on a bad idea but pushing past it and starting something new everyday gets you to those rare ideas that carry an entire song.

Spent a lot of time watching improvisational loopers like Reggie Watts and Marc Rebillet. If a couple of strange comedians can write a good hook from the ether, build a song around it on the fly in front of an audience, why can't I do something similar? A day is a lot of time to clean up an idea that can be layed down in a couple of minutes. If an idea sucks after 30 minutes, put it aside and start anew! By the end of the day I'll have one finished track and two to five new RSN files to maybe come back to. Truthfully, it wouldn't feel as enjoyable if I were in school or working a gig. A song a day gets stressful if you worry too much about quality. Ill agree with all of your points, I especially push my drums too hard often. I've always had a drummer's bias when it comes to mix D:

[BF-||STOPWAY\~]

Точно звучит как старые любимые треки Dimrain. Мне нравится

Извини что долго не проверяла почту. Была очень занята и в общем почти не общалась.

Структура очень хорошая. Есть только мелкие проблемы с миксом. И я думаю что через некоторое время и с новыми песнями ты сам можешь это устраивать!

X-500 responds:

Спасибо тебе большое! ^_^. Ничего страшного)
