OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[White Lies]

Wow, those samples huh… heard it on the grapevine that you got the GOOD stuff, looks like the rumors were true. Mind telling me where you find these?

Quarl responds:

I have no idea what you're talking about, I don't talk to cops.

[surreality]

Love the calm guitars and laid-back drum pattern! As usual, superb production that perfectly gets that mood you were going for. Some parts feel slightly off-putting in all the right ways, suiting the title very well. Super cool track, keep it up!

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thanks man!

[Casiopea (Instrumental + Placeholder Voiceline)]

Sounds super cheerful and optimistic! In some sections, that placeholder melody has a bit too much reverb I think, but other than that it sounds great! You could definitely try to get someone to sing this, but you might have to tweak the melody a bit. I can really tell that a lot of thought went into this. Keep it up, Voidend!

VoidendSound responds:

Thanks man, im still thinking in the lyrics!

[black diamond (S0MBRA Remix)]

As usual, super clean and atmospheric world of sound! Your sound design is just always on point. As for the writing, having the bass play some of the same notes as the main melody was a REALLY cool effect. It made that melody feel so resonant and important. Awesome remix here, can’t wait to hear what else you have for us this March!

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

Yay! I'm so glad you like this one too! Happy you noticed the bassline. I love to make basslines with a lot of pitch movement :)

I have 4 songs coming up at the end of March. Rollout starts in a few days. Thank you for the support as always 🤍

[-Cassy’s Shenanigans-]

Hurray, more irregularly scheduled bullsh*t! This is some fun chiptune, certainly has a mischievous feel. The uncommon time signature also lends it a cool flow. Overall a cheery and simple theme!

Creeperforce24 responds:

The TS is 3/4

[Ultimate power | BIO]

Love the creative rhythm in the chords, gives the whole track a unique flow! The synths sound very futuristic. This song has a good intensity as well, matching the mood of the title. And that ending… very unnerving, very interesting. Keep it up X-500!

X-500 responds:

Hi again, OVERSCORE. Great thanks!

[Snow Wandering]

Definitely sounds fitting for an arctic video game, you nailed it thematically and compositionally! This one is especially clean as well, so really good job on that as well. Every single element fits perfectly into the sound! And it loops great as well. Awesome job here, this is incredible for your first time using a DAW!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thank you very much! I didn't actually mix or master it (just the volumes), so I'm glad you consider it clean :D
