OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[S0MBRA - Limbo (QVEST Remix)]

This is absolutely my favorite remix. Does the original music justice, incorporating the vocals in a new way, but puts that mellow trap beat behind it, some really soothing reverb, and so many other small details that just take the atmosphere to the next level. Really interesting remix!

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

I really enjoy what QVEST did to this one! It's very faithful to the original with some simple but effective additions :)

[LEAST RESISTANCE]

The progression of this one is truly incredible, the way you build the song up to each drop so meticulously. The mix is clear and each element is defined. I really like the simple pads in the drops, they definitely help sell the “old school 1990s/2000s trance” style. Lots of cool pieces to unpack here, I’ll have to relisten a few more times! Great work, KI1.

KI1 responds:

Dude thank you, such a nice review :) It's so great on NG to have feedback from people who are producers also. Thanks for stopping by!

[Rhythmic Noise]

Title sells it short, this has so much more to offer than just some rhythmic noise! As usual, your breakbeat mixes perfectly with the atmosphere you set it to. This one specifically mixes the funky bass rhythms with ethereal pads in a really creative way… the combination of the two creates a really unique mood. Keep it up, all of these tracks have been great!

8-BITek responds:

Thanks :)

[vekoN - B07 Omnicide]

Dude your sound design just blows me away… like I can’t even dream of how you would go about making these sounds on SunVox, with NO SAMPLES?? The dark major chords add some tension to the song very nicely, on the compositional side— the introduction of the choir is very subtle as well, very neat.
But the growls and devilish fills really steal the show for me, this is some of the sickest dubstep you’ve ever done and I hope it places high in the competition!

vekoN responds:

i'm so incredibly happy you loved it! and yeah it took some tweaking to get it to sound the way it does

[Left]

These tangled melodies are so gorgeous… you intertwined them in such an intricate way, I absolutely love this compositional work. Beautiful!

Solacitude responds:

I tried to make these two celli complementary as much as possible without losing realism and within what the library can offer.
Thank you very much for your kind words it means a lot! :D

[S0MBRA - By The Flesh]

The time changes throughout are such a cool touch! Each one brought an entirely new and fresh feel to the song, bringing out so many different sides of the same song. I love the thematic sampling, the words really emphasize the emotions you put into this. As usual, the bass sounds absolutely sick, and the production is just perfect!
Amazing work as usual, I hope that whatever situation caused you to feel this way is resolved as soon as possible!

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

I'm really glad you enjoy what I did here. I was trying to do something a little different with my dubstep style :)

[Dove]

There are so many samples in this, I absolutely could not stop laughing… the song is super upbeat and goofy, so considering you were going for OMFG’s style I’d say you nailed it!
I think it’s smart that you keep track of what you learn from each track, that’s a good way to keep improving. There’s not too much variation throughout the song, but for this style of track I think that’s fine.
Keep learning and improving, you’re doing great! I think this is a little too silly for my tastes tho lol

PotangNG responds:

Yooo Overscore! Very glad to have made you laugh, that's one thing I leaned into while making this track! This is probably one of the stupidest songs I've ever made! Thanks for taking a listen and leaving a review!

[shatter]

I have literally zero critiques, this is absolutely stunning. When that snare came in, you should’ve SEEN the stank face I made

SoTshu responds:

trust me, I had the same reaction when I was making this lol

[Stones River]

Lovely use of orchestral elements, all of the sound fonts are very realistic! I also think you nailed it with the dynamics of this one, the range in the volume of the song really makes those climaxes impactful. Great work, 50Steaks!

50Steaks responds:

The beginning is actually just the solo string soundfonts! Hopefully they sound decent lol. I actually had to increase the volume of the intro just to keep it semi balanced. Added percussion to the first chorus to make it stand out less when it came in later. Just overall things to make the piece flow better. Thanks for listening and enjoying!

[i want you to listen]

Congrats on first place feature on the frontpage! I really like all of the chiptune elements to this, it gives the song an almost cute vibe. Mix is SUPER clear, hats off to you for making this technically incredible! And besides all this, it also just goes REALLY hard… really fun sound, keep it up Calico!

EDIT: oh wait yeah looks like KETAMINE is first now. But hey you were the top spot for a while

Calico responds:

thanks, but also what does “first place frontpage” mean, cuz for me every time i go on the audio portal all the songs are in different order
