OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[My project (REMAKE)]

The synths here are really nice, and the drums certainly set the mood. Sounds very spaced out, immersive, and menacing. I like the progression, and overall mood of the track. Trouble is, the mix is very muddy! There are a lot of conflicting frequencies, making your individual instruments and melodies difficult to make out. They are also all on the same spot on the stereo plane, so try to experiment with the panning of your instruments next time!
One thing that could alleviate some of the congestion in the mix is EQ-ing out the low frequencies of your reverb. Having a low shelf filter in there could drastically improve this.
My mixing advice is still one word: SPACE!! All of your elements need space, whether in the EQ or the stereo field.
Not perfect, but a very neat concept! There is a lot of creativity here, it’s just being hindered by the production issues. Keep at it, watch some more tutorials, you’ve got this!

Mesage responds:

Thanks for an advice, I'm working on learning mixing now

[The Concept]

Dude this could literally be a dimrain song! Love the insanely fast synth melody and the key change.

G2961 responds:

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I really like his style, so I try to make it sound very similar to his style.0

[pleasure-dome]

Those chords in the drop absolutely are psychedelic, but I agree with the previous user that it also feels a bit creepy, in a good way. This sounds like acid, and I honestly vibe with that. Love the harsh, grating pad!

vekoN responds:

i don't need acid, i can just dream :P

thanks!

[Beyond the Threshold]

I absolutely LOVE this!!! I can hear Geoplex’s influence all through this, in the chords, the bass, the slightly jazzy feel… You really imitated those subtle details of his sound well. And yet this is still a classic MYYA-sounding piece! Way to blend the styles!!

[Midnight Pattern]

As usual, calming pads and mellow sounds. And that is exactly what I like

[scrape]

This is some HEAVY sound design, holy SHOTTTTTT

vekoN responds:

thanks!

[Perfect]

The arps, the atmospheric reverb, the warm bass, the mellow drums… GOD it all fits together so WELL! I love the chill vibe to this whole track, it’s so immersive. Keep it up GaviteHawk!

GaviteHawk responds:

Aw shucks...🤭 You keep dropping bangers too man!

[Twilight Symphony]

You absolutely succeeded in mimicking Dimrain’s style, but it’s also so uniquely your own! This song embodies the spirit of the copycat challenge (I think— it’s not my challenge lol). Amazing stuff!

[Alpha]

Super calm, makes me think of a calm, clear waters. Relaxing and gorgeous ambient, well done!

[Dynamite]

I like these melodies a lot! The unique drum pattern also livens it up quite a bit. I also love that bass! When it comes to mixing, my advice is to give every element s p a c e . Space in the stereo field, space in the EQ. Mixing is more than the volume of your instruments! I would say the stereo field especially feels congested. Pan some of your elements! Right now it’s all right in the middle, and they clash a bit.

Dynamic0 responds:

Wow, thanks for feedback! I understood the purpose of mixing while making this song, but I didn't think about integrating panning. I will surely integrate it in my future works :)
