Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gone WIP]

A strange but beautiful piece, slow and collected, eerie, traditional, yet with the beat that almost reminds of the synthy eighties and videogame music. I think the low-quality recording makes it feel older, too. The sound quality goes well with the style, and it's not bad per say, it's just the hazy tone that sets it back. Didn't expect to hear you singing, or singing something like this if you did, or making something as poetic as this!

The verse seems simple but polished, pure and heartfelt, no overly complicated rhymes but a very smooth flow and functional rhyme. Feels like you can hear the emotion seeping through the notes too; maybe with the folk style in particular.

The WIP part hmm... wonder what's really left to do with it? Mastering? I suppose the instrumental could be 'mightier', with strings, echo, higher notes, but overall it feels pretty great as is. Nice piece.

ADR3-N responds:

Glad you liked, and thanks for the review! Yes, I still need to write a more concise instrumental, add velocity, and do a more polished recording. Indeed, I was going for somewhat of an 80's vibe amongst all the other genres pulled from. Does need mixing and mastering, as well as a little bit more polish on all of the above. I appreciate the critique!

Really smooth tune this one. Moderately eerie, majorly melodic, though the further you get the more twisted. :) Not bad!

Thanks for the awesome review.

[Lost In Thoughts]

I really like the melody in this one! Cheerful, rich and adventurous. Sounds like something you might hear in a FInal Fantasy game, albeit without the added dubstep. It's an interesting mixture, and I appreciate the dubstep doesn't take over entirely, it remains melodic and charismatic even throughout the drops.... though the piano-only sections are definitely my favorite parts. The pace picks up with the dubstep, but when the piano kicks in it just goes straight to the mind. Magical, melodic, fresh and inspiring. The layers sync perfectly two. Awesome music.

DJ-DG responds:

Wow, thanks for such a great review! I appreciate the feedback... no one has given such a long, detailed and immersive response... I am grateful for your thoughts and this means quite a lot to me. Thanks again!! Also, your Final Fantasy reference is rather a coincidence since I main Cloud in Super Smash Bros. :)

[Unstoppable]

A pretty tense track this one, and the brass really moves it up a level too. I imagine this would fit pretty nicely in any kind of chase scene, or similar. Nice work!

DJ-DG responds:

Thanks for the review! This track was designed for the purpose you stated, so, I am happy that I got my intended response!

[Every Moment Counts]

A pretty smooth and catchy tune! Ambient and bright, with pretty energetic beat and subtle wind instrument (wonder which that is?). Though it ends up feeling a bit 'flat' overall, I like the melody and tune. Maybe just the mixing/mastering that could be polished a bit? Nice work!

-cd-

DJ-DG responds:

Yeah, I agree, I spent a long while on the melody, and I ended up rushing the whole mixing and mastering part cause this was an unfinished song for a VERY long time. I appreciate all your feedback, positive and negative, especially because it helps me improve on what I do best and correct what doesn't go so well. Thanks!

[Comedy Gold!]

These jokes are becoming a real cancer huh! I mean, literally. XD Nice twist!

AustinJayCook responds:

Gracias good sir :D i will try my best to do much more funny stuff!

[Noir]

Ah, you posted this here as well! A somber, senseful and sensationally ambient atmospheric track! Builds up the mood nicely, though it all ends... so soon.

Jabun responds:

Hehe, glad you liked it. It's a shame... it was for a competition and the MAX length for submissions was 30 seconds. I'd really have loved it to go on for longer. 30 seconds is not long enough for much!
