OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mech Haven]

I remember being really inspired by this track years ago. Amazing song, love that lead!

Logickin responds:

Thank you!!!

Interestingly, the lead was made with a simple supersaw, but what SunVox make it special is the way to express the note using sliding and vibrato commands. I tried to replicate the similar sound in other daws, I just couldn't manage to get the same vibe, not even fancy plugins like reaktor.

Also, the melody has some stories. There is a reason why I call the song name as it is because I got inspired from an obscure yet a dead forum where I found it accidentally, and the piano melody at the beginning of the track came in mind and stuck in my head for awhile which I found that would be a cool idea to create track for it.

[# 8 regret (MH4 Mix)]

I almost remixed this one when I first played it, but I wasn’t sure how to make it sound how I wanted (this was like two years ago…)
This is really good! That really chippy lead startled me a bit, but I got used to it. My favorite part is the cue balls. Very clever and it sounds super cool. Good work!

MasterHand4444 responds:

Thanks a bunch!! The chippy lead was originally a lot harsher pre-bitcrush so I’m glad it worked out. I’m also so glad the cue balls worked — it just makes sense imo!!

[Synthonic Voyage]

The sound design of this one blows my mind… how did you guys make this under the 64 kb limit?! Congrats on winning, and epic track!

Logickin responds:

Thank you!!!

There was a lot of optimizations, from removing unused modules inside some of the MetaModules, to some micro tweaking like replacing Amplifiers into EQ or changing all the internal modules into a single color, to save as many as KBs possible.

Also we have avoided to use any samples because they are poor at being compressed, so we did everything with synthesizers only.

So there you go, heavy optimization and not using samples are the keys to make the project so tiny.

I think maybe it’s SunVox itself that is slowing down my music production… still wouldn’t be able to compete with THIS speed, but maybe it would help

I don't think the program means anything, I think you can learn to write music quickly in any program

[Micro Pixel]

You don’t have to rub it in🥲
EDIT: that you can make 3 songs in one day and I’m barely going to get the same count in 2 weeks

G2961 responds:

???

[zibenziben]

I knew from those first few chords I was going to like this. This is so cute I love itttt!!

LordAndiso responds:

[Abyss of Terror]

Congrats on another deserved fp! Loving that dark sound!

G2961 responds:

Thanks, OVERSCORE!!!!!

[BREAKNECK]

That’s a really cool effect, I haven’t heard much like this before! Awesome song!!

MasterHand4444 responds:

Thanks very much!

[Asteroid Sweeper]

Congrats on fp! Love the somewhat chill atmosphere and weird-in-a-good-way chords. I normally don’t bring up instrumentation, but your instrument choices really elevate the track imo. Good work!

Charlmot responds:

Thank you so much! Im glad you like my music :D

[Adrift]

Oh my gosh, this is beautiful! Can’t really put it better than Latadenata.

G2961 responds:

Biggest thanks! And congrats with purchase the Supporter :)
