Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Rift-]

So upbeat and happy, melodic, bright, energetic, adventurous and smooth... the little 'Go' (?) samples fit in so well too, wonder if something particular happens at those points, like maybe that's where the next artist picks up the baton...

Gives me ParagonX9 and chainsaw_09 vibes too, I love this style. Crisp quality too.

[[Purki's Adventure OST] - Aerial Tanks]

Getting heavy Cave Story and HK cinema vibes here, unexpected throwback combo. :D So many layers this has... orchestral sometimes.. Great mix, great energy, and it keeps you moving; keeps shifting around. The transitions are timed so well, like the 2:07 pause, so perfect, and just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

It's almost Ska-like too... I love this style. So rich. So vibrant.

Awesome work.

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it :)

[Blue Hell]

Musically so awesome. :) The hi-hat's feel a little quirky in the mix, like they pan from one side to the other, otherwise it's all real crisp. Musical metal trip. Missing more vocals...

It's great as is but a full song with this would make it a whole new beast IMO! The spoken word's good and suitable but a little lost in the breadth of it all.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you for feedback!

[When You See Me]

Man if you didn't have the lyrics in the description I never would've heard this. XD Not the theme I would've expected! Sounded like something Halloween like...

Props on creativity! And the beat's bangin', thoroughly atmospheric albeit a little monotone.

Good stuff.

[If Meat Could See Itself]

Is that a trombone in back? Love the brass, love the slow build, the vocoder's cool too though a little hard to hear - if it's intended that you should - the lyrics. It's a spacey; atmospheric kind of trip when that kicks in...

I do love the build, and how it takes some time for it to start getting there, but there... it doesn't feel like it really does. It stays on the verge of building. In the end... I'm left a little disappointed.

Maybe the volume could gradually increase it builds too, more than it already does, or there'd just be a bit more you could add to it all... it's an awesome start. Atmospheric.

IMO just not all the way there. Not as conclusive as it could be.

[Attack of the Killer Queen - Deltarune (Vocal Version)]

What an awesome voice, though the recording... could maybe use some desibilizing, if not better equipment? Not sure if it's just the mix that's lacking, but it doesn't feel as rich or in line with the music as I imagine it could be. Though easy to hear.

And the music! Woo. Awesome work. Vocal mix though... something just feels a little off about it.

Overall love this.

Anjer responds:

Pixsoul (the singer) just gave me her vocals she did for her channel, she used low budget gear, etc. just for fun. Maybe try my song "Undefeatable", you'll hear vocals with professional gear!

[Postal]

This one really takes you places, trippy, eerie, Castlevania or Resident Evil-like at times, like that scene where they're fighting that gigantic snake... nice contrast between the synth and the heaaavy percussion. And it keeps surprising. Anti-scare sample. Tingles and trails and overall just a trip of a track all the way till the finish.

A little high up on loudness maybe, but the atmosphere's dope. So solid.

Hope you don't really go postal though! Except like postal services. Like a stamp.

EdKempeper responds:

Hi !
Thank you very much for this very detailed review !
That's one of the first tracks I made with FL10. The mixing sounds "hard" I think, I wasn't able to use FL tools correctly...
And I had some crazy ideas of melodies on that time, maybe I was drunk when I made this song :p
Thanks again for your review !

[Boss 1 Theme]

Was this made for the game it's featured in, Valkyrie Command?

It's a good battle theme, steady and tense, but with a rising and falling that doesn't let you get walled in. Fades out a little and then... picks up again! Good game structure.

The sound quality's clear and easy on the ear too.

Maybe not an incredibly memorable melody overall but good energy; good quality.

I like the tribal percussion bits too. Good stuff all the way.

[Candyland]

Upbeat and groovy, house but soothing! I'm not fully catching the candy feeling, maybe not really sweet and spiffy enough, how does candy even sound, but it does sound like a grand adventure..

It's ear candy for sure! Dope work. Could maybe vary the melody a bit more but it shifts nicely, good mix, good breaks, simple but functional fade at the end too.
