octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I’m fresh out of ideas]

These are all pretty nice ideas lol, a lot of them also remind me of mid 2000s nokia ringtones fsr. Honestly I think all of them are worthy of being finished, but my favorite is either 2 or 3. Hard choice when all of them sound very good! Anyways keep it up, excited to see what you end up making :)

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you, we’ll see which one ends up getting finished!

[Wrought In Sanctum (Remixed & Remasterd)]

Very dramatic and powerful, this is awesome! I dunno what you mean about the guitars because I love them haha. The percussion is perfect, and so is the mixing; the drums really pop. I also love the change of mood in the middle briefly, but in general this whole song just has a happy hopeful feel. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Buzumba responds:

Glad you enjoy it! I definitely think I could go back and make some things (Guitar re-recording, Low end clarity, and maybe compressing the drums a little more) better, but that might just be me being overcritical of something because I created it. Anyways... I really appreciate it dude! :3

[NEW SOUND]

Really relaxing :D
Kinda sparkly and energetic, but also has that early morning feeling to it where it's hopeful and calm. I love the textures, the pads, and all the instruments just coming together. It's all very well mixed too. Great song and great atmosphere, keep it up!

[DJ Lomka - Timeless Bizarre (2022)]

Звучит супер! Мелодия дает впечатление бесконечного падения. Бас очень хороши, и мелодия была интересной сначала прям до конца. Замечательны трек, так держать!

[Highway Hustler]

Ooh definitely has a funky chase vibe, I love it! Would probably even fit in some 80s/90s movie scene lol. I love the instruments you used, and the organs sound so powerful and sick when they kick in. Somehow also sounds a little like sonic music too lol, maybe it's FM instruments or something. The progression is also amazing, it constantly evolves and spices itself up. Keep up the amazing work once again!!

SnekkMusic responds:

Thanks for the kind words! For the chorus bit (after the organs), I was definitely inspired by Sonic, using a lot of Korg instrumentation there.

[KEY GENERATOR]

Let's go keygen music!!! I love the keygen style a bunch :D
This does sound like something that would come with some kind of keygen, just slightly longer. I'm honestly impressed you managed to utilize that one Nexus chiptune DL because I always found it bleh, but in here it actually sounds pretty good! The slow introduction of more instruments was very nicely executed. Great work, keep it up!

Ximular responds:

Thanks for review!

[dont talk to me]

Starts off nice and fancy, and gets a nice actiony kick shortly after, smooth :D
Feels like something that would play on a calm street in a city at night. Or something that would play in a beach town. The addition of guitars towards the end was really nice. Great stuff, keep it coming!

gunzmusic responds:

ty for the review! <3

[Vastness]

This song feels like a journey, and the emotions are hopeful, lonely, and spacious. It's beautiful! That instrumental drop was awesome though, it kind of sparks a bit more hope closer towards the end. It also provides an energetic instrumental kick to really drive the melody home. Amazing stuff, keep it up!

[the day and the dawn]

It sounds very carefree and beautiful, I love it :)
Kind of like riding your bicycle down hill with the wind going in your face or something lol. It's just kinda that mix of calmness and energy that really sets the mood, where it's also uplifting and fluttery. The instruments you chose are very good, and the mixing is perfect. Keep up the great work :D

[luvvixide - Motorola]

This has such an awesome retro feel to it, I love it! It's simple so it fits a ringtone, but the melody is so dancy and early 2000s. The compression is perfect and the song feels like it fits perfectly on an old phone. Keep up the amazing work!!
