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!

[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

[Don't Be Afraid]

This is such an exhilarating dnb track! I love the leads throughout the whole thing, they truly add to the upbeat feel of this track. Love the warm sub bass, cool pads, and tight, clean mix as usual! Good luck in the final round of the Guac, I believe in youuuu!

EspyoNG responds:

Thank you so much bro! All the love and support is greatly appreciated! I have no clue how I managed to do all that in 16 hours...

[Nexus]

The king of the front page is BACK! Actcore is a very complex genre, and it’s really cool that you’re still branching out and working on other kinds of music. Really solid track!
Also, congrats on getting in the final round of the Guac!

G2961 responds:

Thanks a lot, OVERSCORE! I am so glad that I was able to make it to the finals! And also thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it!

[DARKNESS HUE.]

Congrats on yet another deserved fp! That first part is so emotional, and the switch up being so late is really unique, in the best way possible. Keep it up!

datboi7os responds:

Thank you so much!! I really loved that first part too I'm so proud of it, also creativity is about trying out new and odd things and I'm so glad you liked it!! appreciate your constant support with my work and I really hope I can hear something from you real soon! <33

[TAKE OFF.]

You’re so consistently good, I love your music!!

datboi7os responds:

Thank you so much!! I'm so so glad you do and I really appreciate your kind words!<333
