Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hyrule Castle]

I like it! The metal influences really add to the musical experience, and I like how it starts off a bit choppy and really kicks in after a while. The guitar is awesome, beat is awesome, well actually everything is awesome. I have no critique to give, nice work!

Thanks buddy!

[The Girl that Makes me Smile]

It starts of rather basic, but that ending was really inspirational! I don't have much to comment on this since I can't see any flaws. I like how it starts out basic and soft and gets louder and faster with a broader array of notes towards the end. And it goes from high-pitch to low and warm, with added strings in the background that give it an almost orchestra-ish feeling. I think it would have been perfect if the song ended at 2:10, right when it's as best; the pinnacle passed. Overall though it's great music, smooth and beautiful; I think a favorite. Nice work!

Hi cyberdevil!
Thanks so much man, for listening and for your words, they mean a lot!
I'm happy you like it!

[|R|Shift Recoil]

There's something about this that sets it apart from what I typically define as 8-bit music. It might be the bass, but whatever it is it feels like there's a certain depth to this track that 8-bit doesn't traditionally have. Maybe it's a range of tones, I really have no idea. Apart from the not-fully-traditional-8-bit aspect it sounds great though, smooth and ambient, varied; continuous.

I'd like the alternate melody (the one that plays around 3:20... and probably at earlier instances) to be a little more in the foreground, and a bit more melodic somehow. It's nice though, keep it going!

Radiationator responds:

Yeah, I'm no 8-bit expert. I didn't try to make it completely 8-bit, I just wanted a song with 8-bit in it...if you know what I'm saying lol. And that alternate melody also plays around 0:50. Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it!

[Metal Madness]

Woah, you do all styles! This was a cutting piece of audio, I felt the guitar was overly sharp at the start but you get used to it quickly, and it doesn't seem to clip at all anyway. Great recording quality. The theme reminds me a bit of Doom, it's like a mixture of the Bobby Prince style of soundtracking and something a tad bit more spooky, I can see this working perfectly for all types of battle scenes, or any where there's tension, a dark, drear underworld waiting to crawl out into the city and take over. Awesome work on the guitar too!

hey CD, just wanted to let you know, i have many other new songs up on my soundcloud, if you are a developer and need game music or know someone who does I am willing to license tracks at a fair price:

[Synthetic Wasteland]

Nice melody, and I like how that bongo-like beat trips in every once in a while to liven up the mood a bit. Plenty of variation embedded within the ambiance too. Nice work!

K-Pone responds:

Those bongos are actually toms. Thanks for the review!

[The Cyber Devil]

Thank you mounds for this magnificently masterful musical mix! I love the powerful orchestral tones, the somewhat hiphoppish beat in the background and how it just keeps continually building up with varied audial interference. It's a pompous piece, great sound quality, and no sharp sound either so it's easy to raise the volume and experience a new level of grandeur. Reminds me a bit of the Inception soundtrack btw, which is a favorite so that's just perfect. :)

Somehow I associate 'battle tracks' with rap, but maybe that spans different genres? I can picture this more in a movie than as a background beat, though it did inspire me to write a verse, so I'm hoping a spin-off collaboration on this might be possible in the future (?)! Thanks again; Merry Christmas to you too!

[The Forest Mushrooms RMX]

Nice melody! I think the hithat is a bit much, but apart from that it sounds great, melodic and heavy. Keep it going! Like the drum solo at the end especially.

1999Elias responds:

Thanks, and now it's working ^^
Very thanks Cyberdevil :D

[Pkmn2's Voice Demo 2013]

Haha, not bad at all! The accent doesn't bother, apart from maybe that last voice that sounded more American or Italian. Sound quality is good though, and this was an entertaining listen too. Wonder if the length is intentionally the same as a song or if that's just how it turned out? Good luck with your voice acting career!

-cd-

Pienkaito responds:

The length actually did partially a role. Nobody likes to listen someone talking for very long, so I tried to keep it simple.

Thanks for the feedback.

Beautiful voice, sharp and clear recording quality, pretty lovely lyrics too! I was a bit bugged by how the musical rhythm doesn't really seem to be the best fit for the lyrical melody though, it feels like the beat is either too fast, or there aren't enough instruments moving at a slower pace. Some guitar would definitely be a nice addition, or any other strings that don't 'skip' as the music does. Keep it going!

RyeGuyHead responds:

Methinks the World has not heard the last of Something Lovely ;)

[{!RGH} -+[Uncertainty]+-]

This was beautiful, an ambient melody to back up a powerful vocal venture, the different vocal layers work well at giving it some kind of otherworldly touch, style reminds me a bit of Hania. Btw, who wrote the lyrics, is that LadyArsenic as well? It's nice, poetically atmospheric. Feels like you could've used that musical solo space for something more pompous, but it's great as it is too, subtle and consistent. Nice work!

RyeGuyHead responds:

I composed everything (including the lyrics). LadyArsenic added her flare to my original vocal melody and really took the song to another level.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the review!
