OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

AlphaLynxMusic responds:

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

[CAFFEINE.]

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

datboi7os responds:

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

3manon 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) ! ;)

[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]

1000% lives up to the name, adorable but brings a shocking amount of energy!

GlitchCatMusic responds:

[Outerspace]

I like this ambient feel with the modern-sounding drums. Simple and fun beat, I really like it! The arps are amazing, the whole thing is clean… great work!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thank you for the feedback OVERSCORE! The drums and the melodies are inspired a lot by your amazing songs. Once again, thanks!

[PURPLE MIST. (w/ JAME24)]

Really nice collab, super cool to see that you’re getting to sing over other peoples beats Datboi! Keep making awesome stuff like this!!

datboi7os responds:

Thank you so much!! I really love working with other artists so I decided to branch out and work with some of them!! <33

[Summer Job (And the Evenings After)]

These chords are so fun, and every lead is super satisfying!! This it’s like a chill version of Hyper Potions, which is a vibe I would totally like to hear more of!

ConnorGrail responds:

the chords are usually my favourite part of this genre, and they were super fun to come up with on this track. thanks for listening, hopefully some day I'll do more like this :)
