Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Looks At The Stars (Aydin vs Fro)[160BPM Heavy]]

For a moment here I was thinking Aydin must be the daughter . XD This was super cool though. With that soft intro I wasn't expecting all that energy!!! Such a rush, with vague vocals always wavering in the background; keeping things alive... and the breaks are appreciable too! What an unexpected banger. Awesome collaboration y'all!

Curious about the process behind this btw, were the vocals recorded to the music? Music made for the vocals? Random vocal clip for something else entirely? Really cool.

Aydin-Jewelz123 responds:

First went through the audio to figure out the bits that I could work with. Took that first section and added it to the start.

Straight after made a drop to go with it then built it from there.

Second half of vocals were orginally the same as the first half but changed it out right towards the end.

Then either I pitched up the same bit a tad, or it was slightly higher pitch already. Looped that after the drop and then used the first bit of it to do that 'look look look look' bit in the background.

Then chucked some stereo shaper on bits, if I remember correctly and that was it.

Music was made for the vocals :)

[You Won the Battle!]

A clear and victorious fanfare! Can see this coming in handy. Nice one.

[Champion Battle (Pokemon RBY)]

Bit high on the loudness, but you definitely capture the battle otherwise. Ferocious and full of variation too. Nice work.

[Late Morning Coffee]

Gritty, grungy, industrial... and strangely ambient too. It's a pretty soothing tune. The rain really feels different when you don't see it as the music plays though... almost unnaturally high now. Static. Maybe a little toned down and this would've been perfect... everything else is great.

Unigodspawn responds:

So glad you liked it! I'm aware this wasn't perfect, actually this was an unfinished song because all the recorded tracks I had were just mere concept for the record, I was planing on re-record everything and make a better mix so I made the export for checking then had some problems with the whole project and lost most of the tracks because the data got erased so this was the only thing I could save from that idea and had it stored until December when I was checking old stuff and told myself "This is just perfect as it is." Even with all those mistakes it feels even better for the ambiance I was looking for.

Sometimes we get stucked with songs trying to make them sound as precise and clean with the most overworked mix and master we can, but even yet when we say that the song is finished we feel it's not on it's point at all... That was just a thought I had the moment I decided to release this song.

Thank you for listening and comment! :)

yagru responds:

thanks dude! i recently uploaded a new "remastered" version. check it out!!! :D

[Expurgation]

Fast, faster, faster, faster... you start wondering how fast it can really possibly get. And crazy, and crazier... you mastered the Madness vibe a long time ago but it feel almost like it's been remastered with this one. And the speed makes way for pauses and brooding the short whiles it temporarily wavers... and fades away... and comes back again. Masterful music for maybe the most masterful segment of the series yet. I hope. About to watch that right after this, getting in the right mood...

Thanks Cyberdevil, I nearly lost my mind on thisone but it came back with something attatched to it...

[- Final Moments -]

Ambient, gritty, brooding and uplifting all at the same time... it's a pretty cool mixture. The quality's good, the balance is on point and the way the beat jumps is pretty catchy too. Enjoying the vibe here! Nice work.

-cd-

[The Void]

Pretty unorthodox beat to this one, but I like it! It's got a good rhythm, and keeps building all the way, going through phases, sounds weaving in and out like the wind along with that beat... so much variation, grit, clarity too. First creation and you're already at this level! Masterful.

[Byte Sequence]

It's pretty amazing how you can actually program something that sounds so naturally ambient by such specified methods... progresses so naturally, fades out so naturally... listening to this feels like: memories. A walk in the water. A hazy summer day. Wonder what bits and pieces manage to give off those impressions... really smooth work.

Thank you for the kind words! :-)
