OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dripwood Forest]

Some ideas here have potential, but I would recommend learning a bit more music theory and watching some tutorials on how to mix your song. You may feel overwhelmed at first, but over time you’ll improve and find that it’s truly worth it to pursue music creation as a hobby. Best of luck, remember to have fun with it!!

HammyMusic responds:

Thanks. 👍

Definitely can hear all three artists in this one, such distinct styles that blend in a very STYLISH way

[Dark Voyager]

Congrats on turning 14!! This song is great, I love how emotional the ambient sections sound. Your melodies are absolutely beautiful as usual, with some very fun synths to play them. Really cool pads and chords as well, and the piano is a nice touch.
However, a few critiques:
-the sidechain in the drops is too heavy, and takes off a lot of space
-the buildups are cool on their own, but whenever it reaches that climax, the drops almost seemed disappointing by comparison. Maybe use a softer snare for the buildups, add some noise attack/release to ease the transition, and tone the buildup to match the energy of your drop.

I couldn't have asked for better feedback, thank you so much!

Dawg you’re nasty, go crazy with this FIRE beat
You would make an INSANE producer btw, 100%

Thank you so much you're always hyping me up!! <33

[!NGAP MEGACOLLAB!]

Dang this is so awesome, congrats to everyone involved!
3manon, how tf did you organize this… you’re a legend for taking 400 audio files from a crap ton of different artists across the audio portal and turning them into a coherent song

3manonMusic responds:

Yea uhhh it might have taken me 3 whole months to get this done haha. I made sure to organize every people's layers in their respective groups, making sure to color code every submission seperately, otherwise things would get out of hand really quickly! Even still it was one heck of a task to do and really pushed my cpu to it's limits. Nevertheless was it also a really fun thing to host! You're invited to join for next year (as everyone is) ! ;)

[Through the Gates]

How did you imitate DimRain’s style so well?! Beautiful soloistic super saws and trance vibes, fast and intense drums, and of COURSE a key change— you’ve thought of everything! You’re execution is flawless, with the exception of a few loud sfx and the issue with the panning (although that isn’t really your fault). Amazing track!!

[Feel The Beat]

The school thing is so real. I don’t have enough time to work, I swear… you’re still making great music though, and you start vacation tomorrow!

[Windy]

I really like this one, it flows super well from one section to the next, and each melodic variation is uniquely beautiful but also synergizes perfectly with the coherent whole of the composition. Also, GOD I’m so jealous playing skills! Being able to not only write something as artistic this but play it flawlessly too? You have a gift, thank you for sharing it with us 😇

Solacitude responds:

Your appreciation is very welcome! It's always nice to me when others connect to the flow I go for. Especially with the amount of rubato, and tempo changes in this one I had big doubts if people would follow the "inner tempo" I was feeling for. Some people would probably say it's too much, but it's a style I love. I'm glad you liked!

I just want to make sure to make clear that, I didn't play the whole thing in one go like this. Each section is practiced and recorded many, many times in many different variations, and quality. I don't always proceed like this, but this one I had to tackle some quite challenging techniques to me that would've made it hard to get a one shot recording good enough to me. I could learn it as it is though since I played all the parts, but knowing me I'll just start composing something else :)

Thanks for the review and good words!

[Timeless]

This is perfect! Love the melody and general vibe of this track, you’re so good at creating cool songs!!

G2961 responds:

Glad to see you, OVERSCORE! Thanks!!

[Reflection]

I freaking love this song, masterpiece!! You and 68 went crazy!
