octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BJ - Bleeding Nature]

Very relaxing and surprisingly a little industrial. I love the guitar sound you used, and I love how it comes even more alive around 0:42 along with a few other instruments. The instrument that comes along in 1:23 is perfect towards a finishing point as well, it really helps the song progress. I really think you should keep making more!

GhostlyDoobies responds:

thank you for your kind words!

[Morning Adventure! - VGM]

Sounds very morning-y and cheery, I think you got something good going on over here! I see you mentioned Stardew Valley, and it really seems like something that would fit perfectly into that kind of game. You should keep making music as this sounds awesome :)

GundorSound responds:

Thanks!

[Make it]

Such a nice beautiful melody :)
I like the way the song progresses a lot. The melodic line really helps to progress into around 1:12, where stuff gets much heavier. The bass and immersion in the piece is also astronomical, I really enjoy it! Keep making music, I'm sure you'll go far ^^

NOmki responds:

Thank you :D

[Zpectre - Past]

I love the more melodic part that starts towards 0:31, that house piano really nailed the "house" feeling. The bass was very metallic which is probably perfect for the future house genre. Very immersive, keep it up :)

Zpectre responds:

thank you really bro :'3❤️

[Lost...]

This is a very beautiful piece, and it definitely gives off the feeling of being lost. However I feel the mixing/panning didn't do it justice; sometimes the sound sounds like it clips (has a harsh noise) at louder segments, and the panning of the whole song seems to be coming out the right ear much more than the left. I feel if you'd be able to fix these things, this song would be much more enjoyable! Anyways, great work, and keep going!

Bigcatfan0120 responds:

Thanks for the feedback, my eight-legged friend! I might update it when I have time, possibly later today.

Edit: I edited it, recorded another track at a lower volume as to *try* to prevent more clipping. Also fixed the panning, should be more balanced now.

[Flashback]

This piece sounds very dark and very menacing, I think it's a very unique feeling you made here! Sounds like something right out of a shooting action game, just very intense and exciting altogether. The sound design on this is also great, from the screeches to the growls to the synths, and the gates too. I think especially for a first glitch step song this is seriously amazing, keep it up!

camelymusic responds:

Thank you so much for your review! I'll keep it up, don't worry ;)

[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! ^_^

[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

[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!

[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
