octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Little Mushroom]

This is kinda cool, it sounds like a bonus room or a more relaxing level in an NES game :)
I really like the blips on the offbeat, and the poppy tone of the song overall. It sounds very nostalgic but also new at the same time, which is really cool! I think the biggest feeling I get from this is a happy one since it just overall seems very cheerful. Anyways keep it up with the music, it's great!

MaldivirDragonwitch responds:

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! ^_^

[Roses]

Very calm track indeed! I love this composition, from the softer sounds you used for the melody and harmony, to the more popping drums and percussion. Only thing I would suggest is maybe adding a bit more variety in melody/harmony at points, but otherwise this is very nice, great job!

[WL - STELLAR DOCKS]

I really like this dark sounding, dynamic composition. Very heavy dance feelings in this! The synths you use are perfect, and when that piano comes in it sounds phenomenal! Only thing that caught me off guard is the part that begins at 0:41, as it sounds a little off tempo. Maybe that was intentional though. Anyways, great job!

SUNSCREECH responds:

thank you! ^^
the acid synth that kicks in at 0:41 is probably the cause of this part feeling a bit off tempo, i think i went a lil bit too frantic with the rhythm there

[Bossfight x F.O.O.L - Mercy]

Very deep sounding, synthy piece. The beginning sounded like something straight out of a Madness short! I also love the chord progression in this in general, but wow my favorite part comes in around 2:03 with those strings, it makes the song sound very royal! The dynamics make this really pumped up, and I just love the craziness of the bass growls. Keep it going!

[Bossfight - Sovereign]

That was a really long intro, interesting! It definitely helps set up atmosphere and the rest of this hectic track. I think my favorite thing about your piece is the progression, as it starts as this one thing, and in the middle it's almost something completely different, but yet the song flows perfectly. Nothing too spontaneous, everything feels like it fits. Also love the synths that come in around 02:15, very creative use of them! If anything a lot of the sounds you use in your piece here are very cool. Overall I think this is a very unique boss theme approach, it sounds very trailery even, and I think you'll find lots of success making more of these tracks ;)

[STEL3N - Warden]

Now this is heavy! Literally sounds like something straight out of the newer doom games haha. I love the metal chugs in there, it really adds to the atmosphere. And that part at 1:13 makes excellent use of panning, I don't hear much stuff like that. Keep making stuff like this :)

[Bard of Northpeaks]

Love the swelling strings that come in around 0:40! This is a very cinematic piece, and you definitely struck that "medieval feeling". Also very story like progression in here too, sounds like a mini movie in a song haha. Keep it up, you're very good at cinematic music :)

ClockbeatAdelony87 responds:

Thank you! Check out my other music if you enjoyed this cinematic piece!

[Vir]

This goes super hard, I love it! Dubstep isn't always my thing but I love the sounds you used, and it's even more impressive that these are all your own samples. You're an amazing sound designer, keep it up and keep making banger music ;)

[H~ "Far away?"]

The sound design in this is very calming, romantic and overall awesome. I love the feeling you made with this! Great job :)

[Vodka and Sex SLAV HARD BASS (WIP)]

ну ты красавчик, пять звездочек для тебя

For real though this was pretty accurate to hard bass so good job, though I can't make out what 00:23 says in either Russian or English besides the word gopnik haha

SpeTheof responds:

A TRUE SLAVIC GOPNIK, yeah my accent is greek hahaa
