Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rig - Broken Glass]

rawr

haha. This is all they feed me at art school when it comes to digital music. Good old experimental sonic. Love this kind of stuff. I just wish more people could be open about this kind of work.

[tF-[LifE]]

ah ha...

Pendulum: Sounds of Life, from Hold Your Color. This offends me.

[(_RGH_) O Face(Talkin Dirty)]

Funny...

The same girl that helped you with the vocals on this track helped me and stan with our collab. She's pretty talented. Does this mean I've slept with you?

RyeGuyHead responds:

You might want to get yourself tested...

[Not Everyone Has A Girlfriend]

chirp.

That was the best damn hand job I've received since the last time I've received a hand job. Thanks!

Also, nice track. I don't really know anything about piano or melody for that matter, so I can't really give any feed back in that aspect, but some additional strings or pads would have been nice.

curriemaster responds:

Yes Quarl additional instruments WOULD have been nice, but Im afraid that goes against my religious beliefs. Cheers for the review though, the last 1 minute is what I like to call Quarl-time.

[SpK*) - Hatebreed [MAC8]]

jeeeeeezzzzzzzz!

hahahaha. fucking crazy man. I absolutely love this. It hits so hard. It's not even that good in any way shape or form but some how it manages to rock every ounce of my soul. You hard core people are fucking nuts. distortion ftw.

[AD - DnB CTSG Entry v3]

haha. quirky!

haha, that trance lead really makes this an odd track. Great mix, bass is heavy, drums are fun. The only thing that seems out of place is that trance lead, but it's just too quirky to hate. Sometimes quirky rocks... actually, check this out. Your loop really reminds me of Xanadu stratus remix for some reason... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_CVL hI2SE

Ahhh, good times. I only wish youtube had better sound quality. Curious, what program are you using again?

AeraDynamic responds:

I absolutely know what u mean about the Lead xD I was thinking of leaving it out maybe but it... well misses the Lead then and I didnt want to change the Sound of it.

The Video u linked contains a Video ID Failure :( But if u want the Vid in better Quality just add a "&fmt=18" behind the URL and it wil play in original Quality. If it is a HD video u can replace the 18 with a 22 and it will play in HD then ;)

I am using Fl Studio 8

[Orb]

rawr.

Fuuny. Right after our collab, we both went out and made subs for the v day comp. Melodies are crazy like always. It's something your really good at sir. I hear you playing with those drums a bit. Do you listen to any idm sir? Squarepusher maybe? Fun stuff. Actually... have you ever tried making an idm track? It's fun to experiment and the breaks can always benefit from a little extra experimentation.

I noticed something really unfortunate though... the mix sounds great on my lap top speakers but when I slap on my headphones the quality of the mix downgrades a bit... primarily the drums. They lose their punch. Do you listen to your mix with one set of monitors? Or do you give it a listen on as many speakers as possible? I find that it helps... dunno. It's a minor thing.

Great track though stan. Keep rocking out.

Stan-SB responds:

well i listened to then on a couple of formats and they seemed fine but its all a matter of opinion i gues, as for idm i sort of dip in and out of it i think aphex twin, squarepusher and venetian snares are genii but ive never made a track, maybe its about time...

[{425} CraZe]

awesome!

lol at the guy who calls himself a professional reviewer. I'd like to know how much he gets paid for his job here at newgrounds.

Great song sir. The only thing I'd like you to work on is the drums. They need to be brought forward more. Compared to the rest of the mix they're pretty weak. Other than that this is a really great track! Good work. Keep em coming.

Michael425 responds:

hahahaha yeah, I want to know that too.

I kinda had a slight feeling that the drums were a little drowned out but wasn't quite sure. Thanks for lettin me know, and thanks for the great review man.

[Here With You]

meow.

Even for idm drums, they were a little on the light side. Amplify them bitches. Cool track though. Loved the melodies and effects. Only other statement would be that the mix needs some more powerful dynamics. More amplification all around and a sub bass wouldn't hurt. Good luck in the comp sir!

Tamadrum responds:

Thanks for the tips man... I really dig your music myself, it means alot. I'll be sure to keep those things in mind on my next track, seeing as how I can't go back and fix it, cause I still use the FL studio demo... (no saving)

[{dj-N} In The Moment]

haha

Congrats on the lasting relationship. And major lol at the minor edm segment. It was entirely subtle. Barely even noticed it.

I've never really given your music a listen but I guess I'll have to give you a closer inspection. I really like this. No complaints either. It's all good in my opinion sir. Good luck in the comp!
