octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ntfrl 2021]

I love the melody and progression of this song! The beat was really cool too, and some of the sounds spooked me because I thought they were coming from somewhere in my room haha. I love the purposely grainy instruments too, they're pretty cool. My only feedback is that sometimes the very loud parts sound very fuzzy but otherwise I really like everything else. Keep it coming with more great stuff :)

Beighty responds:

Yo! thank you so much for your review, will def try to work the mixing and mastering a lot more, thanks!! uwU

[God Particle]

Wow very very bouncy, sounds sick! I love all the random growls and other percussive sounds, but my favorite part about this is probably how much the whole thing just... pops I guess is the right word? It sounds like it wants to escape my headphones without destroying my ears haha. This is amazing work, definitely very drum n bass-y. Keep it coming :D

[7/4 Time signature Electro House]

Man the 7/4 time signature is crazy but you did make this sound really cool! I was skeptical if I'd enjoy it at first because a lot of the attempts at this kinda time sig are usually a bit unbearable to me, but this was super funky! Super dynamic, very awesome progression, and perfectly adhering to 7/4. The sounds were also very clean and popping, mixing and mastering was great as well. Keep this stuff up, your work sounds awesome :)

Engin3music responds:

thank you so much man! i've been really obsessed with the idea of complex time signatures and feel that EDM is rather barren of them, so i thought i would give it a shot! i'm so happy that you thought it sounded good! i plan on doing more weird time signatures in the future (only they wont be glorified in the title)

again, thank you so much for listening!

[Reload Ammo]

Oooh I love when the strings kick in around 0:25, it gets a little emotional there which is pretty neat! And the additional instruments that kick in around 0:50 also get kinda funky and nice. My only criticism is that it feels a little repetitive at times but otherwise its really nice sounding. Can definitely work very well in a game too, or animation. Keep up the great work!

Viraxor responds:

thanks for the descriptive feedback! I appreciate it!

[Dance-Floor]

Not bad, sounds like an interesting loop. I like how the percussion is kinda crispy and very out there. It can definitely work for something like a game or animation loop too in the BG. Nice work, keep it up :)

2Dog responds:

Thanks so much! I am very new to newgrounds, I am very pleased to see such a good community here! I’ll be sure to post more in the future!

[TenToTu - Nuclear]

Very dark, cool panning effects all over the place, and a very hype beat! This is a really exciting song to listen to, and I really love the sound choices. I only wish it was a little longer haha. Bass hits pretty hard too. Great work, keep it coming :)

[Vista Sounds - Superb (300 Fans Special)]

For some reason this kinda reminds me of mid early 2000s game sonic music, but I def don't mind it sounds pretty great! I like the instrumentation, the beat, and the little flairs you threw in. The chord progression is also pretty happy sounding! Great work, keep it up :)

Vista-Sound13 responds:

I love your words, buddy! Thanks for those awesome words, much appreciated! :D

[AIM 2021 - R~ "Space Rush"]

After looking at the picture I think the music captures the feeling perfectly! You did an amazing job at making the music themed around the art for sure. In general though, I don't hear hard trance too often, so this sounds pretty great. I love the mixing on this track as well, it sounds very clean, and the progression is very immersive. I love longer tracks like this, and the instrumentation makes me feel very excited and fascinated. Keep up the amazing work, I loved this one a bunch :D

Ryzmik responds:

That's so nice to hear!... or read! Thanks for the great review, you lift my mood!
