OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Powerful Melodies (NGUAC - Final Round)]

This is truly an achievement, going so far in both contests! Truly honored to call you a friend with all the success you’ve had just in the last 6 months :)

G2961 responds:

I am very grateful to you, OVERSCORE! Yes, I have been able to climb much higher in these 6 months than I was before! I am so glad that I have my own fan base, which I really appreciate! Thank you again for your kind words! It is also a great honor for me that you are my friend, because it is because of your songs that I began to like the key of F Minor!

[Equivocal]

This is why I follow you, I need your beautifully inspiring piano compositions in my life… you’re such a talented composer and pianist and I can’t wait to hear more!

Solacitude responds:

Inspiration is not always there, this week I produced a bunch of garbage, this composition is the first time I managed to get "in the zone" and grabbed onto the idea that popped out of there and banked on it. I couldn't manage to wait for another idea to come before NGUAC deadline!
Your kind words are truly meaningful! Of all the pieces I published this one got my highest level of doubts. Thank you very much for the compliments! You'll get to hear more soon enough! :)

[DIAMONDS.]

You’re so consistent with these clean, atmospheric beats and beautiful melodies, I know I sound like a broken record but it’s true! Keep it up!!

datboi7os responds:

Don't worry about it I still appreciate your kind words!! Thank you so much! <33

[Sandstorm]

Love how smooth everything is, really cool sound design. The piano at the end was exceptional, I would have loved to hear it elsewhere in the track! This is worth a follow fs, keep it up!

AlphaLynxMusic responds:

thank you so much!

[Starlight]

Oh shoot, that goes crazy
You blended these two genres in a really fun way, that tempo slowdown was really interesting to listen to. I love the sounds you chose, that seems to be one of yours strong suits. DnB is my favorite genre, so I might have a bias, but I absolutely love this song!

[Ethereal]

I love everything about this, this is totally fp-worthy! I love all the harsh synths in the drops and the contrast they create to the soothing sounds in the ambient sections. Good song, I enjoyed it a lot!

[Overclocked Chip [NGADM + NGUAC 2024]]

Now this is some insane electro, holyyyy!! I love the upbeat energy, keep it up! Good luck in the Guac!

[FRTGR_AR sellout]

Would you mind telling me how you made such an insane break? I love how much attention to detail you put on it! Really cool track, interesting story behind it too.

vekoN responds:

thanks! the breaks are just the amen and a couple others i ripped from youtube music and quantized; they're being played using my timestretch slicer (the keys are mapped to individual parts of the breaks)

beyond that it's just a matter of having a good sense of rhythm and knowing your breaks

[Deep Thoughts Take You Somewhere]

You’ve improved so much since I last heard your music, so keep it upppp!!
What you did well: everything falls in perfectly with your chords, and the instruments sound very nice together. It’s very clean, the mixing is pretty great! I like how the song builds until that climax at 1:15, then drops everything except the piano at the end- tried and true structure.
What could be better: the chord progression isn’t too sound, and the drum samples sound just kind of cheap and dry, especially the clap. I think the hihats could have also had some variation in volume, roll length, and maybe some reverb.
My overall opinion: this is a solid comeback to NG, a very interesting track that shows that you have really grown as a musician. Just keep at it! Study a bit of theory to get a better understanding of how to make natural but unique chord progressions, work on those drum samples, and keep making bangers! Happy to have you back on NewGrounds, SS.

SnipeshotGames responds:

woah thanks! i made this in like 3 hours because i was bored.
i definently agree that the drums sound kinda cheap and dry, and some of the chords couldve been louder. i may make like a remastered version sometime idk

edit: unfortunately i lost the project file haha, its on my old pc and i would have to plug it all up to get it
