ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A.T.K]

You're definitely a talented writer. Just think you could use some better 808 bass. Keep it up!

SmokeAvery responds:

Thanks man , your absolutely right about the 808.. I'm currently in the middle of two DnB tracks. I'll def backtrack on this

[Urban Kiss]

Sounds like a lot of mixcraft presets and loops to me -- everything vaguely familiar. It's not bad though. I like the snare.

Zodiax responds:

Thanks for your thoughts. No loops were actually used, but we did use a few stock preset instruments that were tweaked a little from VST's such as Sawer and Sytrus. The guitar sample was actually made by us....literally playing the guitar.

It's unfortunate that it sounds like that to you (meaning we failed to do something creative enough to pull away from that stigma) but I'll take that into consideration next time we work with these instruments.

Thanks for the feedback. It's always appreciated.

[Pokemon Audition]

I really feel like your voice is a bit too low for the smaller pokemon. It just sounds off kilter to me, sorry. Usually hear boyish or female voices on those for that crisp non-falsetto sound. Other than that, your Blaziken is strong, and your Oshawott is nice.

BillyBean-VA responds:

Thanks! I have to agree with you, I was basically just giving as many as I could as shot, as the piece I was auditioning for needed specific pokemon.

I appreciate your feedback though, it really helps!

[The Nuvo Resistance]

The vocals are nice, but the instrumental doesn't really feel hip-hop to me at all. It's almost totally out of sync with the acapella at 2:30. I can easily pick out the piano preset -- lot of amateur mistakes going on here that need cleared up. Maybe I'm missing the point.

BurntOutOnlineMedia responds:

I'm glad someone really tried to "look" over my work and see if I'm capturing the right vibe. I have been needing someone to really help me find a sound and stick to it.

[Without You]

Beat is on point, but this probably belongs in olskool sylistically. The mixing of the vocals could use a bit of improvement too. It's not enough to cut noise. Probably want to clamp some chorus, compression, etc. onto it. It sounds really dry. Lyrical composition isn't bad by any means but could use more content. There's a lot of points where it's just the beat, no obvious reason for entry and exit, etc. Also, some of your stresses on the syllables sound unsure, like you're searching for the beat. Keep it up though. The first part of success is the courage to begin.

KeepingOnPoint responds:

Thank you so much for your input! As always I'm working on creating better content.

[chrome format_34 (instr)]

Now you just need some fat ass 808 bass under this. Interesting. Master limiting could probably help it along a lot too.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thaaaaaaaaaaanks EDM364!

[始めまして (1)]

This is pretty dope. Only thing that jarred me was the toms. Too much high end on them I think, or just too loud. Japanese samples are really nice, but they sound like an American is saying them, or a Japanese instructor, lol.

hGea responds:

Thanks man! I shouldve looked for some better samples :D

[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

[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.
