Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Summer]

I really like the vibe in this... definitely has a summer feel to it. Reminiscent of the best time of the year. Smooth, soothing... really nice.

killreal responds:

Thanks for the feedback, nice to see you again pal!

[Trying to be Brave]

Lo-fi awesome. Love the mood in this...

-cd-

Nabella responds:

Honestly, this one is too simple for my tastes, but I'm glad you still enjoyed it!

[Entering An Abandoned Home]

I love the bass in this. So rich. Love the rhythm too, the beat's subtle but solid, the melody itself is maybe a little monotone - would've been nice if it switched up a little occasionally, but the backing percussion and atmosphere is sooo good! Professional quality.

Really dope. Huge jump since the last one.

stevetherapper responds:

As of recent I’m still kinda shitty with melody variety, but I’m working on it, and I’m really glad you enjoyed everything else about this song! Seems like you would wanna use this for something hmmm…?

Nowadays I’ve gotten better at using GarageBand, so hopefully the next song I drop will be more professional in quality. Thanks for the feedback!

[5000 Days Ago]

Heeeey this wasn't bad! :D You kept the beat both with the rap and with the beatbox, annunciation and timing's on point, even gets a little melodic at the end there! Sorry I totally missed this last year, right after our collab too. You up for something this year too?

And it really was 5000 days ago huh... didn't take that bit seriously at first but that is actually 13,6 years right there. Fun idea.

-cd-

stevetherapper responds:

Thanks man :) Nowadays I kinda see this as a joke song but I appreciate the feedback. And I missed ya too bro. Glad to see you back on your feet now.

[something idk]

Such a dope beat. Sounds like Halloween, also sounds like a weight and a whole lot of feeling...

Love the mood. Love the energy.

Father-of-Death responds:

thank you thank you! hope all is well! :)

[Mariana]

So atmospheric.

I can definitely hear the ocean in this, and a reverberating albeit slightly ominous openness, or emptiness, a vast expanse of something greater; concluding, consuming, alluding... though the further it goes it seems the more you get in tune with the pace and tone; settle in peacefully after all. A sense of death maybe not being so bad after all; floating in an empty space, in solace but not loneliness, in certainty and calm...

Holding hands with the void would've been an awesome album name too @CoolioShootyMane! :D So suitable too.

This was great. Looking forward to hearing how the whole album flows together; feels as a whole.

Jabun responds:

Thanks so much CD! Indeed really looking forward to seeing what people think of the whole album; it's quite the journey! Thanks again for listening and only a few days until release time now!

[Vestik - Tricky's Vengeance ft. MonoCronic]

It's got an air of crazy to it this one! I love the vibe, though sometimes feel I maybe wish it'd speed up a little and get properly chaotic. It does at the end a bit, but for the most part keeps a very steady and intentional pace. How would it be if it occasionally jumped a bit, or skipped a beat, mixed it up a little with the madness?

Dope work here though! I can definitely see this working well in a game...

-cd-

vestik responds:

Ooooh yeah! You're right, I'll keep that in mind. =)

[[SoYM] Your mother hates you]

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

-cd-

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

[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...

CIEIRMusic responds:

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.
