ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[High up 1]

Yo, this would be lit if you could fix that clipping, digitally or otherwise in the recording. I think audacity has a decent clip fixer, although I generally use RX7. You have a nice voice for narrating.

Might also do you some good to EQ and compress so the mic doesn't lent to such a tinny sound. But no matter what you do, keep at it, and research how to improve at every chance you get. Practice will eventually make perfect, and you can re-record content of a nature such as this at a later date with just a few minutes and some patience :)

I also am good to clean recordings like these in small batches, just got to catch me on a day I'm off work

Произношение английских слов в целом точное, кроме shiver aha. Sounds to me like shivee. Но знаю что английская буква р трудная штука))

[Параллакс (Parallax)/Кислый Лис (Sour Fox)]

Ну, мне кажется "паралич" лучше подойдет. Ведь так называется состояние, в котором сижу, слушая этот гениальный трек. Интересуюсь в том, какие инструменты/FX использовали наиболее часто, чтобы эмулировать ну, как сказать спейс-рок хаха. Извини, давно не общалась по-русски, так что словарного запаса не хватает. В общем просто хотела сказать что звучит круто!

[Говорят (Talking)]

Да, вот так бывает

[slav hard bass]

This makes me want to drink half a bottle of stolichnaya, smoke three packs of cigarettes, and party until the apartment building collapses. Thank

[Tем временем в России . . .]

Meanwhile in Russia, hehehe. Interesting meld of genres, and nice overtones in the mids on that bass. I would have preferred something other than the pluck used, or maybe layered it with another plug and panned them out. It's a little mid heavy to me. I initially thought it was a piano. But other than that, lit!

EDIT: I wish they had comment threads on here

If it's the harmonic exciter, you might be able to cut low mids and notch the EQ elsewhere, and turn it down some. I think it would do well with a little thinning out or spreadilizing

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening man, glad you like the fusion I went for.
I have noticed I tend to overdo the mids lately, still learning how much harmonic exciter it's too much :D

[VREMYA KHAYPA (ВРЕМЯ ХАЙПА)]

You literally rapped faster than I could read at points, and the flow is absolutely klass. Вот возьми пятерочку. Я с удовольствием бы продуцировала с тобой трек -- такая скорость. Просто невероятно))

Olindel responds:

Thank you very much! We could maybe do something together if you want, just let me know what you have in mind and I'll think about it. ;)

[Bap (evil mix)]

Ah, this reminds me of the old days -- I think that clicking I heard in your other track is actually on one of your samples. You can manually remove that in audacity if you hear it on the end of a sample, or mess with releases to clean that up

I really like your computer beepy arps. Very fresh

I would definitely grab KSHMR Essentials or a processor like Cymatics Diablo for your percussion -- a nice all in one for getting your percussion to punch hard and tight. It sounds like you're like me and don't like fiddling around too much with a million plugins to get the same job done. There are some other transient shapers, compressors, and wideners available online free too; now that I mention it, there may be some plugins and samples listed in my news post before the last one you could cop while they're still free, if you're interested.

That reversed voice is a perfect touch

The only thing I'd want more of in this track is some playing with panning and or maybe pingpong delays -- those are especially good for hihats. Everything sounds centered right now -- I used to struggle with that a lot myself.

This is probably my favorite so far. Keep it up!

[Bap]

I like your use of samples and that intro. The track could use some room to breathe though -- sounds like the whole thing has a compressor on it or limiter turned all the way up. If that's the case, back it down some

There's also a clicking going on throughout that I can't tell if it's a sample triggering. I think it might be on the percussion but can't hear well enough to tell.

Anyway I would back that compressor off and mix quieter -- so that everything is clear and uncluttered before adding it as the finishing touch. The track shouldn't look like a sausage casing throughout, although volume is very important; it gets muddy.

I'd bring the percs up a little more, turn down those chords in the back and sidechain them to the kick and snare to your taste -- or manually duck volume if you can't sidechain. There are also option like LFO modulation on volume or gating. After that I might put an lfo panning the arpeggio you have coming in left and right 15 or so percent each, or more, to your taste, possibly also a very light tremelo. Variation is everything.

But the track itself is full of great ideas. Reminds me of Megaman X - Command Mission OST. I really like it! You should put more of your music here on NG. Probably get a lot more meaningful feedback than just SC alone.

Above all, keep doing what you're doing! You're going places. If you're suffering for album covers, you can always ask someone here to make one for you. I typically make my own on the side, and drop a few words for anybody who might come here to that effect. You never know who might be willing to help out :)

[Bombon]

Here from SC. The vibe on this track is smooth! I would take down the background synths some and bring out the perc more -- harder compressed, maybe use something like the free version of KSHMR Essentials for quick transient and width boost. The paid version has makeup gain which is nice for an all in one. I say that because the perc is centered and muffled, compared to the trebley synths. I might also bring up the sub, saturate it, etc. The track is a little mid heavy and flat -- may just be my ears trying to find the percussion better giving that impression.

Other than that, this is a straight bop. Nice work!
