FarFromSundown's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SHATTER]

Alright, this is low key a banger, lol. I really enjoyed the lyrics, too. I think they're done rather creatively. I'm not a huge fan of a repetitive drum beat throughout most of a song, but I found myself more focused on the words/vocal cadence to be bothered by it (and really that's just a personal preference if anything). Love it

ADR3-N responds:

Thank you! You're right about the beat being simplistic. The vocals were the initial inspiration, the structural basis and the focus of the song, so I tried to keep things pop-EDM not to distract from them. Without the vox as a starter, this song would not exist

Also, if you ever want to turn your voice into a bass, I still have that riddim bass voice model I used throughout. The only thing I used for this track was vocal AI, chopped samples in melodyne, Vital, and my own 808s. I think there might be one or two midi lines for said 808 and a lead synth. The rest is retooled and reharmed cut loops/samples for texture.

[ADR3-N / 10 / A200]

Overall, really enjoyed this interview. A couple odd spots but for 4 hours of content, you can't really expect a 100% all the time, haha. I feel like I learned alot about everyone involved.

To answer your question @Aalasteir the account that first inspired me to do all the audio production myself was Wahhsin (i'm probably spelling that incorrectly). I don't think that his original account exists anymore, but I loved his work.

ADR3-N responds:

You'll have to send me some of Wahhsin's stuff!

I was concerned after 4 hours plus of talking that we would go completely off the rails, and ofc we did. But I think in the end it's pretty interesting, at least to the types of folks I'd get along with and have something to offer anyway. Like autistic folks, other creative, and people who like internet oddities, or 90s kids. I put podcasts on while I'm doing chores or walking so it's the kind of thing I'd be down to listen to and that's enough for me!

It also made me think maybe I should do a podcast, since I clearly love to talk lol

[AIM - The Air of Spring]

maan, you've come a long way from just the short 1 instrument pieces I remember. This is great. soothing, paints a picture (even without the piece used for inspiration) and creates a great zen-like atmosphere. well done!

[Scrapped Metal Projects]

i absolutely love the thickness of your guitar tone. I need to work on my tone game

Burn7 responds:

Thanks dude!! I swear to god I learned this too late but for me it's about giving the bassline space. If I mute the bass and the guitar tone is the exact same there's a problem lol.

[Fall Away]

soo couple things:

1. I really like the unique-ness of your voice on this one. It's raw, but it feels like it just fits so perfectly.
2. I love the weird, poppy, rock mix and how it goes in and out of different genres pretty seamlessly. A couple spots seem a little forced, but nothing too drastic or worth complaining about as a casual listener.
3. Sooo I'm moving next month, and have an awesome collab in the works with @Burn7 who I've been a fan of for years (so excited for it), but when I'm settled in at the new house, we gotta hop into a project again! I loved working with you!

ADR3-N responds:

1. Ty! Some of that is a little bit of distortion on top of vocal AIs I made of myself. The rest is me screaming 3in from the mic xD
2. Double ty! I really think we went balls to the wall crazy. It was never really supposed to be overly serious or sacred, just new and unique. I'm glad it seems to be in a good way!
3. Absolutely dude! I absolutely love your harsh vocals. Would be freaking sick to work together again!

[Macrolisk]

Hell yea dude! I would absolutely love to do a collab with you at some point if you're ever down. Even if it's just you letting me scream over one of your tracks haha. Killer as always

Burn7 responds:

Shit yeah! I'm always down to collab and it'd be an honor! Whenever you're feeling up for it just hit me up!

And thanks for the review!

[Arandem - Byte by Byte]

Love the mix. Those drums are punching through nice and crisp! a well deserved front page!

[no use trying (2015)]

I really love how any time I click on one your tracks, I never TRULY know what I'm in store for, or what I'm about to experience. It's that unique-ness and your ability to swing through genres and mesh them all together for something that doesn't sound like any one genre. I really admire that about creative work. You're like the newgrounds version of Ollie Sykes :)

ADR3-N responds:

Thanks so much! I actually don't like that quality about myself -- making music that is REALLY hard to quantify in terms of genre, but it's useful! I think it has to do with my genre influences. They range from 90s eurodance, to Korn, to Ellie Goulding's Halcyon Days era, modern day drill, and beyond. I can never decide which one I want to make at once I guess!

I got a new piece out that you may enjoy for other reasons -- not because it's good, but because it comes with free cymbals. I'd actually love to hear your thoughts on how they turned out, since my intended audience is folks who do metal and boombap/r&b. It's called Take My Cymbals uwu

[A Dragons Wrath]

Love how beefy that kick is! Great solid riffs and just the right amount of catchiness without feeling too redundant. Nice vocals too. Great work!

[Lyudi Invalidy (RU)]

Hell yea, I dig it! I know the struggle with never being truly happy with your own vocals, so I love that you took the leap and put it out, cause it sounds great!

It's an artists curse to be our own worst critics, just remember that. <3

ADR3-N responds:

Tytyty <3 I'm happy enough with how it sounds. The biggest thing is I actually got the license to post, so I can drop it here to NG instead of just doing a newspost! :D Merry belated Christmas!
