Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Breakdown]

Wish you could have subtitles on audio! XD If you understand it maybe it comes across a bit less repetitive; like something you want to sing along to too...

This was a banger though! Love the dubstep parts, love the vocals and overall melody, it's got that icy kind of Trance sound to it too, and appreciatively calm bits despite the tempo...

Love the drop at the end. A little repetitive but: so good!

[Dyslexic Jungle]

Energetic right from the get go, and different! :D Good groove; bassline, great percussion, samples and hits, a little tribal drumming and jazz even... this was rich!

Love the scratches too. Most of all I love how you never know exactly which direction this is going, or whatever sample's about to hit next, but wherever it goes it always seems to be the best possible way, with suitably calm parts amidst the more energetic ones. The transitions and shifts are all so pleasantly surprising... and energizing. The sound design's intricate. The melodies are catchy. The composition's refreshing. The runtime... just perfect.

A creative; chaotic; very non-confirmative banger overall! I love it.

Solid mix too.

[What does it mean?]

Good on that Diddy clarification. XD

This was interesting... feels cryptic for sure, but also a little incomplete... I'm not sure exactly what I'm missing though. More layers; more instrumentation? A different end? A more consistent; re-occurring melody? A red thread? Or more consistent pauses? More reverb; more atmospheric effect?

It feels a little dissonant; a little incomplete, but I like the style.

[Rain]

Interesting choice with those pauses in the intro... kind like you're opening new gates in the sound, driving through tunnels, walking through doors, going somewhere new...

The rain feels soothing and melancholy both, good complement to the melody overall. Nice build with the static and chiptune, that sound almost like a vocal chant. Tribal chiptune, kinda...

The 1:55 bridge was interesting. Baby sounds, almost... feels like an odd contrast to the earlier chant, but creative too.

Final parts such a breath of fresh air after that... this was great. Relaxing; refreshing, very different. Bit bassy, otherwise great mix too.

-cd-

[shteppi - endless sea.]

What a banger of a beat. :) Smooth, soothing, funky and fluent, good groove, good trip-up's and samples... feels a little Nujabes like sometimes. Gotta love that initial Oh! sample too.

Good stuff all the way.

[Welcome To MEB]

Would've expecting a higher volume out of the gate considering the title, but maybe not a bad thing to leave that up to the listener hmm...

The production's rich, the instrumentation interesting, it almost feels mechanical in a way. A glimpse into a Cyberpunk world, some kind of fog horn occasionally blaring loudly through the mesh of metal and machinery...

Very cool. A little short but: good intro.

Daaaaamn! Thank you so much for your comment! It means a lot from someone from the old school (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)(⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠>⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■

[P.A.I.N.]

I can imagine something like this playing in Madness. Heavy, ominous, hella energetic too!

Love the layer that comes in around ~0:50, and the 1:20 switch-up, that little glitch around 2:03... perfection! :D Composition's solid, sound design rich, it keeps getting better and better; stays varied, though some change in pace entirely would've taken it to the next level IMO, even with the variation the tempo stays the same all the way...

Heavy stuff man. Nice work.

-cd-

[Hotdogs are Tacos]

It's like the 'I drink your milkshake scene' but next level. XD

This was fun. The background sounds though: not sure what they contribute always... around 1:40 for example, the people speaking in the background are difficult to focus on, far back enough that they don't detract from the main audio, but still loud enough that you keep trying to hear what's being said there...

Anyway this was good, fun talk, background backing a lil distracting though IMO.

-cd-

[Pequeño avance - loli god (algun dia)]

A small step forward but a pretty big scape of sound! :D

The production's so rich! Clear; vibrant; just about as loud as you can get without reducing the range of it all... for a while it almost seems Christmas/Holiday-like, around the half-minute mark, it never gets dull though, it keeps shifting; keeps going; keeps celebrating it sounds like...

Uplifting stuff. Love this. Wonder how close to the original it is...

-cd-

[3/4 through the game shop]

Man this is vibrant! Love that rewarding 'swisssh' kind of sound too, and the 'woo woo', and all those other little optimistic audial design elements that permeate this, the detail's rich...

Real nice composition. Production's on point too, albeit maybe a bit high on the loudness. Also: very abrupt end m8.

Good stuff.
