ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I want you miss]

I forgot that you could technically still review pieces you collaborated on -- and I've already commented on how fabulous this beat is. But did you know we got weekly 2nd place? Check your trophies!

*pats self on back*

VariableGR responds:

Oh that's right!! 😮😮 Awesome!!!!
By the way, yes, haha, you can do a review, hehe, thanks for your comment Adry!
😎✌️😁

[memoir of a disgruntled zombie survivor]

Why is this such a bop

m0onwalker responds:

Guess I’m just Mozart 🤷‍♂️
Thanks for the 5 stars!

[ADR3-N Drum Test]

It's free because I like it that way XD

I've noticed most people use it as single samples -- though it was supposed to be individual multi-sampled drums loaded as separate patches. Oh well! I guess I'll have to figure out how to program it into a proper instrument at some point.

I'm still updating and fixing things around the pack, so whenever there's an update, I'll let you know!

PS, I really like the rhythms you chose, and the N64 vibe of the track overall

Creeperforce24 responds:

N64 vibe you say? Huh, that never occurred to me! Thanks man!

[-City Shallows-]

I like how lo-fi, busy, and freaking weird this is. Only complaint, the reverb on the low end is pretty high up. I would recommend turning up the low cut on your reverbs to 250 hz. It's especially important when working with a lot of instruments in the low range.

Otherwise, A for effort, and the instruments are pure nostalgia

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks man! I seriously appreciate it! And thanks so much for the follow! I seriously appreciate it! I’ll try and keep this in mind, along with @G2961 and multiband compressors

The nostalgia may be from the bass, I was inspired by many waterflame songs in the 2010-2014 time period. I think this bass was real popular with him back then :)

[Taco Body Boat Bitch]

This is so stupid, and I love it. I don't know what it is about this sample that lends itself so much to house -- the demo I'm working on with it is also coincidentally house xD

VariableGR responds:

Ouh shit hahahhaa thanks!
I can't wait to hear it! hahaha 😎😂

[DrumNCrash]

Wasn't sure about this when it got started, but the base of the full drum beat itself sounds cool. I would totally sample it.

LMMS is really hard to mix in and get quality sounds. I would probably recommend exporting your stems and mixing them in another DAW.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thanks !

I've been using LMMS for years now, however I dont really know any other plateform that I'd be capable to use for the same situations... Do you have suggestions for that ?

[Touch of the Wind]

I'm floored at not having found your music sooner -- this stuff is right up my alley! Loving the breaks and more IDM style production! Thoughtful, lively atmosphere with unintrusive motifs. In general, just real nice

8-BITek responds:

Thanks, I’ve got a few IDMs on Newgrounds

[Yamaha PSR-400-500 Song]

I'm here for that ting-ting-tong agogo, and no one can take that enjoyment away from me. Without removing said agogo.

This got me wondering if the PSR-400 sounds are substantially different from the ones loaded in my girlfriend's keyboard. I was thinking of making a sample pack of the different patches. If they're not too different, though, I may recommend this soundfont and record some interesting modulations instead. (EDIT: I checked and she has a PSR 423, so no wonder the patches sound familiar!)

This composition is a bop btw.

ALSO, I just thought of this since you mentioned Casiocore in your tags. Not long ago I put out a CasioTone 2400 sample pack with some soundfonts. From this track, it sounds like you could make it bang! Check my profile if you're interested in that sort of thing.

8-BITek responds:

The PSR-423 has different sounds and additional filters that weren’t present in the PSR-400. You can listen to the PSR-400 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce6iYByAqxk - completely different sounds.

By the way, speaking of Casio, my first keyboard was the Casio CA-401. To this day, I’m still searching for a soundfont with those sounds. If you happen to come across one, let me know!

[Oinks - Brainfuck]

Don't have headphones on to properly appreciate this, but I LOVE the grooves going on here up through 1:39. Whole track is just weird in a good way :)

01NX5 responds:

I think I mixed this track exclusively for headphone, which was a mistake of mine cause I did master this track only in headphones and without speakers, even though this was made on mobile and phone spekaers aren't the greatest, but maybe I shouldn't fully rely mastering on headphones.

But mastering aside, I'm glad you enjoyed the track, it was, for me and my sakes, risky cause I perfer to write more complex tracks whereas the minimal and repetitive approach I had on this track, I like how it came out and I appreciate your comment! :D

[White Knuckle (feat Ilya Mirosh)]

Decided to listen to this in my car. Was not disappointed. Ilya's vocal performance is an advertisement in itself. Very well deserved front page. I would actually back off on the compression on the master just a bit. Or the reverb coming in from the drums and low end. Otherwise sounding great. Like the stuff I used to listen to in middle school, and that's a high compliment! Think Breaking Benjamin and so on

FarFromSundown responds:

Thank you! I take the correlation to Breaking Benjamin as a high compliment. That's moreso what I was going for, so that's really encouraging to hear :D
