Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[SoYM] Your mother hates you]

Edgy. :P But VA potential here too hmm... clean recording quality too.

GraywulfDaDolf responds:

Thanks! I’m trying to make an album of songs about your mom, and the only recording “tools” I have is an Apple EarPods microphone and a copy of GarageBand for iOS. Strange how it came out decently, but I’m not complaining.

[My voice reel 2022]

Well this was fun. XD Might feel a bit more professional if you have a script ready, and edit the audio a little after recording, cut out bits where you warm up and transition between voices, but overall it ain't bad! You've got potential. :) Hope you get some small roles for starters and keep improving! Finna be interesting to hear how far you've come in a few years.

Or months. Years maybe excessive. Potential fast improvement. :P

Aw thanks bud

[Underwater]

Ambient and fluent, with a slightly boxed in sound as if overswept by oceanic blue... current and in hue... I like the softness, though feel like this kind of ambience could've also been light and sparkly, and possibly even more appealing that way...

But really cool. Symbolism true.

[my dad's name is chuck]

Cobain would probably have enjoyed this too. XD Absurdist humor, rhyming skills and musical ensemble on point for the most part of it! Possibly a little overly chaotic outro.

What a great name too. Chuck this track at him and say he's awesome as J Statham.

[Columbine Flower Through The Ages]

This was beautiful, and so much thought put into each of these stages too... impressive audio and impressive premise to build on, though for the larger portion (03:03 - 15:57) it's all very much the same. It's a nice sound; I do get a sense of brooding and heaviness, but it also seems almost excessively long compared to the other parts. If the intention is to move you through different stages, wouldn't it be better if they really moved from one to the other, preferably transitioned in a fluent way from one to the other, more so than have one main segment and shorter bursts of alternating tempo/style before and after?

Doesn't feel the most wholesome this way IMO, though I love the sound otherwise. The beginning in particular, with how it seems to melt or fade away somehow... seems to play with your mind somehow...

Part of why aftermath is the longest is because out of all the tragedies that came and went between the 20th and 21st Century, Columbine was one of the hardest people tried to get over. Before Columbine, the thought of Teenage Revenge through murder was considered fictional. Heathers, Carrie. All those works practically warned us that something like Columbine was gonna happem and no one listened. Then you have the Aftermath. People barely able to comprehend murderers that age let alone ones that planned it out. Then to further tune that comprehension they look for someone or something to blame like Doom or Marylin Manson. Then Michael Moore exploits the tragedy for his contribution to Gun Control as if the weapon itself was to blame. Then just when things can't get any worse, school shootings break out all over North America. Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook being the most prominent. But no one talks about them as much because the second they make the news, reporters take us back to Columbine. "I haven't seen anything this horrible since Columbine." "Remember Columbine? That happened." And so on. Meaning literally 21 years and it's still fresh in their minds. Even South Park which not only takes place in Colorado, but who's creators were in said Moore Documentary, were telling everyone to just get over it. Even going so far as the kids and adult alike be so desensitized that only one person actually cared before giving up and joining the rest. So needless to say if it's gonna take people that long to get over something horrible then it needs to be pointed out.

[Do the olskoo!!!]

What a masterpiece. :) Catchy albeit somewhat static ear candy for a living NG icon!

Nice one.

[Funky Chrishmas...]

Jazzy, funky, wholefully soulful and soothing... love this.

[Odd Eye]

Ah this one's an awesome one too... soothing; soulful, yet energizing ambience...

Love that choppy kind of vocal sample effect too. Your ears just never really get used to 'em.
