Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stereo Madness Trance Remix]

At times it sounds more like house than trance - gets a bit monotone and bassy, but overall I do like it. It's smooth, melodic, varied... there's nothing wrong with the beat itself, yet it has a bit of a 'flat' sound to it. Not sure if it's the instruments, or a lack of layers, or what exactly could help bring it to the next level, but feels like there's still some polishing to be done to bring out the sound in this as much as possible! Nice work so far.

[Experimental NuJazz]

Not bad! Smooth, jazzy; fluid, though the part about it being based off of loops entirely seems to go against the audio guidelines a bit! Maybe better read those first? It sounds good though. If you can start making stuff like this without relying on loops, that'd be pretty amazing!

Cosmo77 responds:

Thank you. Now I read the guidelines (lol) and yes, I really should do something without third party loops here on NG :D And I'm pretty sure that I can. Thanks for pointing out this problem :-)

[Sometimes]

That's that freestyle kind of lyrics, sounds like. :) Maybe a little brainstorming could make some of this to a real song though? Piano sounds surprisingly real, wouldn't think it was in FL if you didn't say it.

artistunknown responds:

I feel like "freestyle " is a fitting way to describe how I write lyrics, especially since I usually write lyrics before the music, though recently I have been making music first, because it seems easier to get more of a finished product.

I have been considering revisiting this song and making it sound more full, but I kinda like it how it is right now. We'll see though ;3

And yeah, FL studio's piano tends to get a lot of shit, but I think it sounds pretty decent, and I'm pretty sure I didn't modify anything about it here.

[Surf Rock Test]

Well that was random. XD There's potential though! Style's a bit Punk-ish, controversial, edgy, anything goes!

-cd-

artistunknown responds:

Yeah, after all, "test" is in the name :p

More will come eventually.

[Beat.]

A smooth, rhythmic beat with some kind of mysterious vibe to it. Reminds me of Parasite Eve 2 for some reason. NIce.

-cd-

[Melodic Alert.]

A smooth and ambient tune that morphs into something else pretty quick! Feels a bit short, but great clarity and sound.

-cd-

[HerdHerdHerd - Medium Bass]

Well that was pretty crazy! XD The drumming´s kind of hard to hear here, bit distant, and the vocals comparatively much up front. Musically... interesting!

-cd-

[Suspense]

A pretty intense track, in an ambient background way. :) I like how the melodies play in different layers, and all seem to fit in too. Nicely cinematic.

abanuelos34 responds:

Thanks a lot Cyberdevil. Much appreciated.

[Eerie]

The occasional silence feels a bit unexpected, I imagine it might fit with a certain scene, but not for /any/ scene. It's like it'd need to accompany a visual pause to feel in place, but otherwise it's moody music! Definitely builds up the suspense towards the end there.

-cd-

abanuelos34 responds:

Yeah, definitely not for any scene. Thanks for the feedback.

[Military Arts (Power Quest Remix)]

It's like a mixture of heavy metal and videogame music! :D Sounds like a genre I might've heard a bit of via games, but never known what it was really called, but I love the energy and crispness of sound. Feels like pure motivation. Great piece.
