Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sidewinder Samurai - Hip Hop Instrumental]

I like this! :D Exotic vibes, crisp quality... the structure's a bit unorthodox but this is really cool. The atmosphere too... melancholy but hopeful. Wide. Like a desert breeze. Very nice.

[DJ Ses - No Emotion (Produced By Kenshi Muzik)]

The vocal clarity's really on a whole other level here! Impressive quality with the mixing during the intro in particular, though when the verse starts it's almost a bit too high-pass IMO. Distant. Otherwise it's hard to find flaws with this! The annunciation's on point pretty much all the way, the tempo switches yet the flow's never lost, the wordplay's good, the beat's solid. Pleasure to listen to. I like the anti-mumble-rapper stance and the more imaginative wordplay in particular. Spacious spaceship stuff. :)

Jemongi: wonder if that's a typo, pun or account handle? Maybe I'm just not catching it. The movie's Jumongi otherwise. Edit. Jumanji, I mean. XD

Good stuff!

[林檎 "Ringo" [Lofi]]

Lo-fi, polished and funky! Really smooth work.

DreamEater responds:

Dangg you reviewed the track and the visual??

I greatly appreciate the support my friend.

[Time To Go]

For some reason I didn't realize you were doing music too! Must've just glanced past that part of the profile to the awesome artistry all the time... but this is pretty banging too. I like the vibe. I like the break and build-up, and though it's a typical structure it all flows well. Wondering about the loudness though, when you see how even the edges are... seems some frequencies might be more limited than they need to be? Why cut the peaks below the actual clipping threshold? Maybe mastering's one thing possible to improve here. Overall though: nice work.

MLeth responds:

Ah thank you!
Yeah no I have no actual experience with mixing/mastering other than what I'd learned by just doing music. There are a ton of issues in all my songs! I've never had any patience in just sitting down and reading about how to do things rather than actually doing them so that's why things never really turn out as good as they can be, hoho. Same goes for my art!

[Malestrom]

HEAVY! >:D The growling, the guitars, the everything about this... really on point. Now speed/death metal's probably not my favorite type, but I do love the rage. Solid recording quality too though... maybe a bit much bass? Everything feels a bit dimmed down somehow. Solid composition though!

[AU Reviews Theme]

It's finna be a classic! :D So simple. So good. I like it.

And yeah, gotta second the catchy. Ended up playing this a few times to really catch the composition too. Love the energy. Short but packing. I can't stop playing this now...

[DitheredMessiah]

Once the beat jumps in: it really gets jumping! Pretty crazy trip when you start moving past the initial ambience of it all... it starts out with an almost Ridge Racer-like vibe, but soon moves on to new styles entirely. Entertaining mesh. Love me some DnB too. Feel like the tone of the audio could be better (mastering things?), but everything else is great.

Hakkwolf responds:

Thanks for the thorough review :)

[Iconic]

Hmm so not a beat for anyone to rap over here? Sounds good though. Subtle, mysterious, has a somewhat unorthodox pace to it... and a bit high on the loudness even without any particularly loud sounds, but overall: not bad!

darthmaul298 responds:

Thank you I appreciate it, and I probably should allow people to rap over my music in the future it'll open up many opportunities for people.

[SICK]

Not bad! A little more emphasis and passion or swagger and this'd really be good. You've got a good flow. That end too... actually the lack of passion goes with the theme pretty well. You just don't really realize it until the end. Not bad.
