octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[schism]

Always nice to hear something cool made in a tracker lol, this song has a great happy energy to it :)

The progression is great as it is varied, and when repetition of motifs happens it still sounds fresh and nice. The instruments you chose were very acid and ravey, which fit super well together too. Keep it up :D

wineplume responds:

if you master a tracker you can do pretty much the same stuff as in a regular, traditional DAW :)
classic old trackers like protracker, fasttracker ii, octamed, impulse (schism) tracker have a lot of limitations, but there are modern ones - renoise, sunvox, openmpt/modplug (the one i use) - they support vsts and are generally powerful.
i also really like openmpt for other reasons:
1 - it's super lightweight and very stable
2 - vertical playback is great: easy to sequence, everything is super convenient to control in the "patterns" tab
3 - a quicker way to make melodies (piano rolls look like a nightmare these days LOL)
4 - patterns can be absolutely ridiculously long and wide. i love that. i love when there is a lot of open space.
5 - it's open source!!!1!!1!
thank you for the review!

[goblin swamp loop]

Would easily fit in some kind of videogame, this is so groovy and catchy. Nice stuff once again :D

[nightsnake]

So much instruments in this sound like they are from classic 90's euro hits, I love this! The melody is really fun and exciting, the progression is great as well. Keep it up as always :D

[weak hopes.]

Как обычно, очень красиво :)
Атмосфера трогательная и сонливая. Мне нравится :D

G2961 responds:

Спасибо! Как раз-таки я его делал в тот момент, когда очень хотел спать, хахахаха

[continue?]

I like the vibe, it's like a game over screen but with some action to it lol. Great stuff, keep it coming as always :)

[Astral Night]

Очень красиво :)
Атмосфера напоминает теплые летние ночи когда можно смотреть на звезды. Постоянно ты удивляешь меня с твоими прекрасными треками. Так держать!!!

[WarriorEDM - Evening City]

Очень красивое начало, супер интро :)
Дроп тоже очень интенсивный, и энергия отличия. А о мелодиях, мне нравится что они все разные, и не просто повторяются одна за другой. Так держать!

[pain]

Как обычно, трек бэнгер :)
Мелодия интенсивная, и вообще какая то космическая. Под такую музыку очень легко потеряться в собственных мыслях. Буду ждать следующего шедевра!

(Извини что долго опять не комментировал, я очень занят в последние время)

G2961 responds:

Спасииииибо! Я так долго не видел твоих комментариев!
Да ладно, ничего, пиши комментарии тогда, когда сам захочешь, либо когда просто будет возможность

[Loose Ends]

Awesome song as always! Sounds like something out of a sneaky or mysterious scene in a mall or something, not sure why I got that vibe haha. I like how it starts out kinda subtle, but then develops more melodies over the already nicely established percussion line. Keep making great stuff :)
PS Sorry for not checking out your stuff in a while btw, been really busy ;_;

BusanBlack responds:

Yeah originally I think the drum beat was going to be more like a spy/action sound. Even when the bass comes in I was thinking like ok... something still heavy with a bit of action. But then I started adding in the chords and I was thinking it felt more of a relaxed vibe evening out the intensity of drums and bass.

Also Im glad you did stop by around to listen to my recent beats. I haven't been on in over a month so no biggies. Thanks for the review!

[energizer]

Definitely energetic lol. It sounds happy and playful too :D
As always keep it up!
