OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fractured Signal]

Love the strong sidechain and granular synthesis combo you used here… absolutely creates some SUPER unique sounds, and a really immersive feel. The sound design on the pads reminds me of brakence. Can’t get over this production, keep it up!!

overkneeee responds:

thanks!

[Fit the Eighth (Boojum theme)]

Love the glitchy percussion and dark ambience. The melody is super creative as well! I don’t know if it has to be 5:50, but it never got TOO repetitive. And since this is a soundtrack, it doesn’t need to be too complex. Simple and groovy track, I like it!

MasterHand4444 responds:

Only reason it’s 5:50 is because it loops, since it’s an OST hehe. But I see what you mean! Very glad you like it :)

[Personas]

It feels like the focus of this track is split equally between the vocals and the dubstep sound design, creating this really cool blend of styles that I really love. Especially because, both are executed perfectly! I couldn’t ask for anything more from this track, well done!

[HATE/CHANGE]

This is so satisfying to listen to, I absolutely LOVE this sound. The chords are simple, but spicy enough to hit every time. And the DROPS!!! The slightly bitcrushed chords and confident saw leads sound so good. Vocals sound great as well! Would love some more experimentation in the panning. Cool song!

[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!
