OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Running Away (Espyo Remix)]

THE LEGEND IS BACK
I seriously love everything about this remix, the production is top-notch as usual! Love the clean drops... the growls you used are perfect! Every bit of the ambient sections are beautifully immersive. This is exactly how DnB is meant to sound, you've executed this remix perfectly. You better reach the podium with this one, wish you best of luck in the contest!

EspyoNG responds:

Yessir! I am really glad you love this remix so much, because I put so much of myself in it, especially in the sound design. I tried to not over-complicate the atmospheric stuff; I just kinda layered 3-4 instruments maximum, and it gives everything so much space. The fact you think MY remix is where DnB is at is insane, thank you so much! <3

Let's get that top spot with this one! >:D

[the song that plays when you encounter the person who disliked your youtube video when you were 12]

I like the arpeggios, but some of the notes are really dissonant. Make sure to brush up on some theory, the fundamentals are always important!
Overall a pretty simple song that is just fine being simple! For me it would be called “That song that plays when you encounter the person who zero-bombed your song when you were 12” lol

EDIT: I just learned from my piano teacher, but I've heard musictheory.net is good too. There also plenty of videos on the subject. Honestly, scales are the most important thing to learn!

AFasterSlowpoke responds:

Do you know some good websites or videos where I can learn theory and check if my notes/chords are consonant?
I would prefer one that has letters along with sheet music because I can also barely read sheet music :P

[เภՇг๏ (Intro)]

This dark, psytrance-ish feel is an incredible change from your normal, how did you even do this?! The theming for this whole project is also so well executed, all of it really makes for a one-of-a-kind listening experience. Keep this up!!

VariableGR responds:

I started to implement a style more rooted in my beginnings, where the music had to make you feel a story or an anecdote.
I loved playing a lot with the dog effects and more because I haven't achieved something as great as Randoms Mushroom

[no-signal.]

This is so cool… I LOVE the strong theming of this track! I also found the way you gradually build the track up to one climactic trance drop very neat. The pads are beautiful by the way, I know that’s your specialty. Only critique I can give is more of a preference thing, maybe the snare in the drop at 1:51 should be less clicky?
I’m glad you decided to branch out of your normal style, because this really is a uniquely beautiful song!

eurus0 responds:

I'm glad you liked it! I learned a lot from making this one especially from the fact that I made the drop and the pads first and had to find a way to make them work together, I will definitely make more themed songs like this

[3xLove]

This is a LOT of variation for one synth, I guess limitation really does foster creativity! Or at the very least, you definitely know your way around a 3xOsc… huge respect!

izxwav responds:

Thanks a lot!!
My most creative stuff does come when I have some sort of fun limitation hahah :D

[Niteroi]

I love the use of that piano motif, it never gets old and provides great context for the rest of the elements. The heavily-reverbed vocals sound really trippy and interesting. Youve created a really unique mood for this track with the entrancing instrumentation and somewhat funky chords, one that I really enjoy. Your style is amazing!

NairyBaptiste responds:

Thanks! <3

[Mary Jane]

This is so mellow… the crowded instrumentation and the slight distortion are used very tastefully here to create a really trippy, floating-in-space atmosphere that I really enjoy. Really nice beat!

JAME24 responds:

Appreciate the review boss!!

[Diamonds]

The vibes are KILLER on this, love the synthwave-like jam! Every bit of this is soothing. Keep up the consistently amazing work!

GaviteHawk responds:

thx man, super happy you thoroughly enjoyed it!

[palilalia (form any% lvl2)]

This is one of the coolest things I’ve heard this month, INSTANT follow. The intro is so immersive, and the drop has some actually PERFECT sound design. Very less-is-more approach, and except the few elements you used all hit incredibly hard. Absolutely stellar production, keep it up!

SoTshu responds:

you don't know how much this means to me! thank you so so much!

[Antelope Canyon (Megacollab)]

Taking a listen to some of your other recent tracks, and dude I still cannot get over how cool your style is. This NEO-NOIR sound youre developing— KEEP DEVELOPING IT, I love every song I’ve heard so far. Your production is always amazing, with such immersive and gloomy sounds. Great work S0MBRA!

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

Thank you soooo much. I'm really happy that you're enjoying the music so far. I have plenty more on the way :)
