Nabella's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Inktober #12 - Anticipation]

I'm always pleasantly surprised when you manage to stretch out 15 to 30 second loop into a two minute song! The clean vocals clash with the noise drums and squarewave instruments but I can still feel the rhythm going on as you rap! I'm really wearing out the word "should" in a lot of my replies regarding creative endeavours, but I really should look into making small musical sketches with more natural sounding instruments, lol. If you're going to keep perusing my loops every Inktober, I might as well supply you with an ample variety.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you man. :) The fact that it does indeed loop always makes it a bit easier. And that it's still varied enough that you don't easily hear beginning and end, and so it really feels like a full-fledged instrumental even when you loop it - sign of thorough composition too!

Hehe well you should do anything you really want to do. :) I personally really like this chiptune style, and I like the way it contrasts with the vocals, and that it's totally different from all other instrumentals I usually rap to, though it is admittedly a little tricky to get the balance right between loop and vocals, if one's just a little too punchy or loud it's like they separate, upped the reverb a bit more than I usually do here as to blend 'em better, I think it worked?

Whatever instrumentation you end up using for your creations though I'll happily jump on one or two at least every October! ;) Always fun. Appreciate the stuff you do good dude!

[Inktober #9 - Brave]

What? Again? Dude, you flatter me. I wish I knew how to be constructive and write a review that isn't just praise, but I'm too stoked about this, this is great!

Cyberdevil responds:

Just praise is totally fine man! XD And of course I need to get at least one of your crisp chipstep bits in on this year too! Anything that inspires a verse; evokes some sort of emotional response or mood's great IMO. This one pretty much wrote itself. Thanks for this!

[Inktober #14 - Space Walk]

Dude!! Rapping to the bass and beat of my song of all things!! What a pleasant surprise!!

I'm very surprised you went through with this given the sound compression of the original!! Ah!!

Cyberdevil responds:

I must say your response made my day too. XD

Nevermind compression and all it's the energy it's all about! And beat. You had a good one going with this one, was fun to work with. And generous attribution terms - no need to ask, surprise attack! ;)

I thought this would include more screaming.

PinkShirtDude responds:

that's gonna be the next one, a lot of screaming and pain :)

[The Capitol Records Experience]

Apart from introducing this record man to Hunie Pop, this was honestly pretty tame.

Edit: Okaaaay, I'm hiding my little score, but only for you. ;)

Wandaboy responds:

hide your score :)

[Fatal Misstep]

Damn, if this was 6 years ago, what do your latest tracks sound like? You're hitting that area of modern chiptune I have a weakness for. Similar to the soundtrack in VVVVVV y'know?

M4g1cP1x3l responds:

Glad you like it, friend! Such praise, I really like that OST. You can listen to my recent stuff on SC or Bandcamp, or wait til I'm done uploading all my stuff here, slooowly. It's just I have 80+ tracks lol

[S-Tony Theme]

The transitions with the Pac-man arcade cabinet noises sounded very cool. I really like how it builds up over time, good stuff.

RiddleRiddleMusic responds:

Fun fact: I didn't use pac-man sounds for the transitions, those are actually samples of the "Krusty Krab Pizza" song, but a bit bitcrushed. Thanks!

[Icy Cave]

Straight groovy, yo.

RedFalcon95 responds:

I forgot this was the unmixed version haha. Ill be posting an album on here soon. Cheers~!
