Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Memories in Melodies]

That 1:14 noise: so awesome. :) Unexpected, fitting, subtle yet so fulfilling! It's all in the details... overall a smooth tune, with plenty of variation and laid-back pace. Easy listening.

Thanks Cyberdevil! :)

[VicariousE at the Crossroads]

Ah, a first track of the year in homage to the grand VicariousE! :D Let's see if he sees it... it's a smooth and jazzy tune with cool groove that keeps the rhythm together; some pretty fragrant blues/rock synth towards the end of it. Nice listening.

S3C responds:

wow this was my first track for 2017?? thanks for the review!

[Tank]

Math isn't my forte, so if it was one that pythagoreum theorum pun went straight over my head, but the DnB definitely got into it. Not as heavy as I'd expected, but creatively punchy, and picturing Tank growling along pounding pellets at whatever's in his way makes it a pretty cool trip. Refreshingly different round of DnB! Happy late Pico Day!

Quarl responds:

Oh trust me, I also suck at math.

[Triumphal Entry]

Doesn't get much more triumphant than this! Was expecting less, really. I love the build-up. Somber, promising, sort and soon almost psychedelically frantic, the angelic voices, the synth, the final push and then... it all fades out. Can see the potential for this being used in a ton of submissions! Hope it does. Don't think I'd class it as a loop though, as it feels like a very finite piece.

Phonometrologist responds:

Thank you Cyberdevil for stopping by to give your thoughts about it. In regards to looping it, I just wanted the ending to transition well to the beginning since most people prefer to have a loop on their own submissions-- wanted to make it accessible. Worth the experiment anyway.
Good descriptive points given.

[Luminous]

Proper uplifting energy-fueld ambience, this one. :) I think you even have some guitar mixed in, and not just the electric one...? Pretty unorthodox melody with that, but flows well, and I like the pace overall, also has a bit of a Final Fantasy feel to it, a bit melancholy, a bit like a waltz, and the background beat almost sounds like a beatbox. :) Creative, smooth, consistently varied, with tone shifts and subtle instrumental details, suitable fades and build-up's... overall this really feels like your most polished track yet. I can imagine hearing this either games or animations, the professional kind I mean, really polished, atmospheric and easy-moving. The music lives. Nice work. And might get some bias because I love DnB, even if this is pretty unlike the DnB I usually listen to. It's a nice hybrid.

DJ-DG responds:

Thanks so much for the feedback! I put a lot of effort into this one, especially the piano. I admit that I have come quite far from my early stages (as you have seen so yourself), and I am glad that someone noticed! Yes, there is also an acoustic guitar in the background, you noticed :)
Wow, you really think this could go for a professional level? That means so much to me, you had already encouraged me earlier but now this is gonna go to new heights! Thanks man!

[Back on Track (Zophar Remix)]

Crisp and icy pixel sounding tune with pleasant melodic echo. Chill and awesome!

-cd-

FelixZophar responds:

Thanks man!

[Absence]

A really smooth, icy and ambient tune! Nice work.

RedNexus responds:

Thank you for the review!

[3 Year Podcastiversary!! - RubberOnionPodcast #160]

Well that was random but entertaining. :) Somehow stumbled upon this series of podcasts, and holy shit there's a lot of them to go through! Content-wise it does feel a bit devoid of any particular purpose or direction, but it stays entertaining so maybe that's all that matters. Congrats on the 3 years! And looks like you're still going strong.

rubberonion responds:

Haha yea consider it a variety show about animation and you'll snuggle into it like a pile of dirty laundry (= Thanks for listening! Hope to see you in the comments more

[EDM364's NGAPMD #14]

Hah, didn't notice you sounding like an angry femrobot feeding off of a teleprompter last time, but does sound smoother now! :) A leisurely pace, and though not entirely chronological it's easy to step between topics. Maybe a bit much autotune at times though - if that is the filter/effect used. It fits in well with certain parts, like vivid dream speech, but sometimes distorts to the point it's hard to hear what's being said, and seems a bit out of character. First time it was used I thought it'd be for certain people, like your mother when she was on the phone, but as it goes on it seems it's noticeable pretty much at all times when you change vocal pitch? Or is it always intentional when it's noticeable? Did you have any of that on the last one I wonder (if so I really didn't notice it then)?

Appreciate the milder background music, and well-timed how it kicks in right around the mod count. Still thought it was a bit high at first. Impression faded after a while though, so maybe it wasn't... or levels even out.

Plenty of interesting topics in this - the window punching chronicles in particular, though pretty disturbing dream! Sorry to hear about your dad too, seems like that'd take more than a year to really process. Overall an easily listened to and engaging episode. Thanks for the shout out too!

ADR3-N responds:

Actually, the autotune was sort of emphasizing the silliness in whatever I was saying. Although perhaps I'll try different autotunes for different characters, lol. Thanks for the review!
