Marscael's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ME-OS OST 46 - Super Hard Quiz P2 - Pasture Time]

I don't know why but it makes me think of some sort of cutscene from a Mario game like I imagine a bunch of the characters doin sumthin er other at the castle and it's just nice and peaceful. Maybe it's the lead or the drums or something. Either way good vibes all around.

octopus58 responds:

Thank you so much! It's meant to feel a bit nostalgic and party ish so I think what you imagine really fits haha
Thank you for listening to my music :D

[Helene]

You should come back to this when you can. It has a sort of charm to it and some interesting sounds. But was sort of repetitive towards the end and some sounds were too loud for me. That being said. I did enjoy this a bit.

Enderb0t77 responds:

Okay, I will try when I get power back. Also, this song was made as something to keep me busy during a hurricane, making it my first song made purely for fun. I had no plan, I did things as they came to me. Also, I can’t really add on that much to it. This is the most sounds I can have at once. Have a good day.

[figyou]

Wow the buildup that starts at 1:12 is actually amazing i loved that!

LodeRunner13 responds:

Thanks a lot! Great to hear you liked it.

[far away]

This straight up sounds like something I'd hear randomly pop up on my Pandora radio. Loved how chill it was.

crispybatteryacid responds:

Idk what a pandora radio is but it sounds fire so thanks lol

[Late Night Binge]

I think this has a lovely beat. Could do with more instruments and variety. Reminded me of cat bird that sound did!

GDRhythmic responds:

Yeah, this is pretty old. I'm still reuploading all of my music to newgrounds rn. I'm a lot better now 😅 (I got scouted today so I think my new stuff should be able to go up a lot faster now)

[The Golden Heretic]

Was just about to head off of Newgrounds For the day and this pops up. That ending was just wonderful. Other than that, I think the vocal parts are my favorite part because of how much they carry those areas of the song. Left me wanting more. Good job keeping the instruments consistent throughout your songs by the way. Dunno if I could do that.

crispybatteryacid responds:

Appreciate it man!

edit: @Marscael there were supposed to be drums, forgot to turn em on lol

[Kib and Bigg: Outside of the Box OST - Granny's Domain]

This one made me curious about the animation (RIP Grandma). My favorite part of the song starts at 1:16. I particularly like the tapping sound. The song was nice and consistent the whole time which sometimes is just exactly what a song needs. My favorite of the soundtracks I'd say.

octopus58 responds:

Thank you so much for the detailed and kind words! I felt establishing a constant rhythm with the tapping would be calming, so I'm glad you like it :)

[Ilmeris, Realm of the Former Seas]

Chill vibes. Sounds like it could be great for listening to in the background while exploring in a game like on a mountain or in a cave or something.
If I were to say one thing maybe the sound that starts at 1:10 is a little loud. But the little buggy sound that plays right after it every time is actually my favorite part.

crispybatteryacid responds:

thank you! i just made a square wave in sytrus mixed with a sine wave and used gross beat for the glitchy sound. synths are cool

also bro, i can't fuckin wait till you get a pc your stuff is gonna be so fire

[LISTEN]

Interesting song. Wasn't a fan of the heartbeat-like sound that plays at 57-1:34. And the song also seems to end abruptly. But there were a lot of moments in the song I just loved. My kinda vibe!

ImDumbLol696 responds:

Nice, it’s a song for a horror character which is why it’s got the heartbeat

[Glacial Upheaval]

Different. Good. I like the bells and the drums at 2:13. Also did you quote that from somewhere or write it yourself? (Author comments)

crispybatteryacid responds:

I write the quotes myself. They’re based off somebody else’s narrative though; I’m trying to kind of put together a story in the background.
