Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Levia - Suffocate]

It takes a long time for the tune to really kick in, almost a full minute until it really gets jumping. The build up raises the expectational bar, but it doesn't feel like it really reaches the peak after that. It just shifts soundwise and keeps going with the same pace. I like the scratchy sound though, it's fluent and smooth. Keep it going!

[Go the Fuck to Sleep (~H)]

Haha, what a clash of poetry and attitude. I'm wondering if the laughter midway is an intentional part of the voice acting? You'd think laughing by script is pretty difficult. Nice work on this!

-cd-

Hannah responds:

Hah! Actually, that wasn't part of the script. I was just laughing because I found my own reading hilarious. :3

[Namine's Theme - Cover]

The mic name doesn't say much to me, but it must be decent because the sound quality is clear as air. Maybe not as ample as it could be, but definitely good. Have you tried improving the quality via Audacity or is this all RAW? The piano play itself is beautiful, and from a series I've watched too. Nice work!

Aikata responds:

Casio WK-200 is my keyboard. Um, I'm not really sure how I can improve the quality in Audactiy. Maybe I should look up some tutorials...?

Thank you for the review!

[DGDRJ-A Night to Remember]

Plenty of emotion in almost all of these voices. It doesn't seem like the voice really changes much for each character, other than the volume of it, but that's definitely great acting. Good luck with the contest!

[Chill Music -Interlude-]

It sounds good, but not really anything I could chill too. The other one of your two newest tracks felt much more chill than this one, this feels more like a train ride or falling down a slope. Nice music though, smooth and atmospheric. Keep it going!

-cd-

geniebmusic responds:

Hey! Thank you for listening and leaving honest feedback :D
I had no idea what to call this song haha! Maybe it is because it sounded like chill music to my ears, since I could relax while listening to this song. Either way, I'll keep this in mind in the future. Thank you again! I will work harder!

[Cubix Skyland]

The voices that kicked in around 2 minutes were a bit unexpected, and though not very notible they somehow clash with the otherwise ambient feel of the track. I appreciate the variation but how aboaut an additional layer of instrumentality instead, maybe strings? Sounds good overall, nice and smooth!

-cd-

geniebmusic responds:

Thank you for listening and commenting! I'm glad you find the track good overall.

That's interesting what you said about the voices around the 2 minute mark. Those additional voices are actually synth strings. So you think I should go with a more realistic string sound? If you like, you can PM me and tell me what you think.

Either way, thank you so much! I will work harder!

[(8-bit) The Machine]

Hmm, I was going to pop up the old version and compare them, but it's gone! :O This sounds good though, much more complete than the previous one at the end, even though it doesn't seem longer? The phasing out works well, and I like the dreamy intersection as it closes in on a minute. The sound is still a bit sharp at the start, but it sounds good, overall fuller than it did before. Keep it going!

-cd-

NoStereo responds:

Oh sorry I pulled the other one. Dx

It's only a small bit longer than the wip. I decided to keep it fairly short.

Thanks for the review again cyber!

[Over]

This sounds almost like dubstep at times. Plenty of variation, plenty of intensity, plenty of industrialism and a steady beat in the background that somehow makes me think of Daft Punk. Wonder where the similarity lies though. I like the build-up towards the end especially. It sounds good!

-cd-

PYROMANCERband responds:

Thanks a lot man! Daft Punk is (of course) one of my favorites so there's no stopping them from creeping in on the finer ends of production time. Good call!
