octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[KingSupu - rainstorm]

Very relaxing and beautiful, though I think this is more lofi than Synthwave ^^;
The beat is very good for something relaxing, the sound effects are also really nice and cripsy which helps with soothing. I wish it was longer because it just sounds like something I can really zone out to! Keep it up :D

[Broken Mirror [WIP]]

The dubstep part gets really interesting, great job! Since this is a WIP, I thought I might suggest working a little more on the drop to make it sound more intense kinda? It already sounds good but I think a bit more intensity would be awesome. Can't wait to hear the complete version!

Wolfeni responds:

I thought of a growl to start the drop, but I really don't know how to structure that, tho thank you for the feedback ! Much appreciated uwu

[M4gnusRx - Garnet Cave]

For some reason this kinda reminds me of sonic pinball music lol, but I like it a lot! The blips could maybe be a little better mixed but they definitely help add variety to the song, so that's very nice :)

Keep it up!

[M4gnusRx - falling 'till i hit the ground]

This sounds pretty nice, it would fit very well in some kind of sky boss battle for a game I think! The timing of the introduction of instruments worked very well here, it helped a lot to make the song have a good progression. The chords are also pretty interesting. Keep up the awesome work, and good job :D

[Topside (jamuary2022)]

An extended version would definitely work wonders for this! I usually am not a huge fan of vocals but in this case it really complimented the whole track. The lyrics are actually very warm and nice too. I think my favorite though is the intermission between verses where there are some cool strange chops and sounds. Hope you make an extended version sometime later, and keep up the great work :)

vermeen responds:

i'm very flattered, thanks! i'm taking a rest off this week though but i'm definitely extending it!

[when the love falls]

Very interesting buildup, takes a bit but worth it! The instrumentation choice is pretty good too, it kind of creates this melancholy pondering type of feeling. Progression is very nice, it never gets stale or stiff. Keep up the great work!

[Trusted Villain]

This can easily work as an awesome and maybe goofy boss fight in a game, I love it! The chops (especially for the vocals) sound really well placed and rhythmic, and the bass was heavy and moving. Love this stuff. Keep it coming :D

[Janze - Calm harmonic]

I love this! It sounds like OG music I'd hear on newgrounds way before I even made an account on this site lol. I love the feeling of classic techno/dance and this perfectly encapsulates it. I honestly miss hearing this kind of music on the portal lol. This is great though, keep making more :D

[I'mMoxta - AGGRESSIVE FIGHTER 2 [Dubstep]]

Really interesting clash you got going on here! I love how you have the synthwave side of the song trying to harmonize with the more heavy dubstep drops. It worked very very well! The overall instrument choice was great too, and the drops were heavy and awesome, keep up the awesome work :D

[Aromatherapy]

Really classic early 2000s feelings coming from this, love it :)
It's soft and relaxing, definitely very comfy. But what I find impressive is usually people think that using midi can make a song sound boring or bad, but I think that's not true when you can make wonderful stuff like this! So keep em coming :D
