octosteele's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Indomitable]

I like the chill vibe but the tension also included in it. It could use a bit more variation as after awhile it gets a little repetitive.

Percentblue responds:

Thank you for listening and the honest feedback! I for sure get stuck in setting up the arrangements and a lot of times after posting stuff I think “ahh crap I should have done this here” or something like that. Especially with the bass breakdowns, I get the blinders on very easy and just super focused on nailing them, then end up having the same ones over and over.

But, thank you for listening and checking out a few tracks! It can feel a little like posting into a void sometimes, so I really appreciate the listen and the comments!

[Space Truckin]

WOW, you really went crazy there for 0:34 to 1:12. This is frontpage worthy, I love it!

Percentblue responds:

Thank you so much!!!!! I really appreciate the feedback. Always makes my day :D

[DexDNxMe666 - Memories]

I don't see much phonk on newgrounds but this is pretty good, maybe try lowering the bass a little bit and making a "bass boosted" version of it because the bass is really loud.

Just4L1fe responds:

Oh thank you, but.. I tried the ("lowering the bass" in the original project) but he would be too quiet. And I had to turn up the volume "a little". Well, something like this..

[unnamed on purpose]

Your explanation on how it feels kind of unnerving is almost eerily fitting, I can imagine it in my head. I can also imagine a story for this song too "You wake up ("You don't know this but its after a massive nuclear war") you look around you and see ruins, nothing is recognizable except toppled buildings and destroyed cars. You look around for anything that can tell you where you are or what happened, but everything is barren, not even a tree, not any sign of life. You hope that its a dream but as you grab a piece of bent, shredded metal on the ground you feel the rough, damaged surface of it on your skin. You know right at that moment that... this is reality." That's all I have for now, if you want I can continue. You should make a sequel to this, it would be perfect for a game!

theapplesguy2 responds:

well i fucking made the sequel after publishing this since the song was made in late february (see description)(also this song was made in late february not the sequel) and im gonna publish it tommorow so i dont look like i rushed or something lol

[Insane Sandwich]

Very repetitive and before the drop it gets really bassy, but lets be honest a lot of techno is repetitive and bassy. It has character and still sounds good, just gets boring to listen to for too long.

Bohdanchique responds:

Thank you! I agree that this track is repetitive, but I don’t know how to make it more complex. I just really like the basis. But next time (maybe) I will try to do something cooler!

[Starlight]

The pre-drop sounds a little off tune, and the melody isn't the greatest. It could use more variety in the notes as its a little repetitive, its still pretty good though and has potential!

yonkaloxi responds:

Thanks! I will take this into account in future works

[Marshland]

Only 2 written ratings? I'm surprised that there isn't at least 5. I'll rate you though. I really like how the song almost tells a story without any words, that's the only way I can explain it.

Congrats on 3000 listens BTW!

Percentblue responds:

I really appreciate you checking out multiple tracks and commenting. Always makes me feel good, thank you!

[breaking free.mp3]

Very tense and fast! Matches the style of the song very well, great job!

elweyquecomenta responds:

Thank you. i made a whole bunch of other songs like this for a videogame. i don't know when it'll be coming out, but i might post a link to the demo soon.

[The Hole Inside Me]

The beat is a little bit busy but overall pretty good.

Percentblue responds:

Thank you very much for listening and the comment! I wrote the bass first and it’s very busy for sure. I’ll see about chilling it out a bit!

[Crossroads]

This is sick! My brother is into this type of stuff and I'm going to recommend this to him. I don't know much about stuff like this but my brother does.

CasinoSix responds:

Thanks for checking it out! If you haven't yet, make sure to send your bro the video link :)
