Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Accounting for the Indifferent]

meow

My only complaint is relative to the post below me. It's all in the left ear... or right ear if your stereo is backwards :P

Panning helps make a mix more dynamic and reflects live acoustics. It also gives the illusion that things are louder than they really are... however, when you only have one instrument, it would probably help to keep the mix mono. Or, if you ever plan on adding a bass to your mix, keep in mind that most producers keep the bass towards the middle, and everything else to the sides. Keeping everything equal should be a constant battle.

Unless like the guy below me said, it was intentional in order to evoke some sort of idea or aesthetic. Everything else sounds fine and grand. SO yeah, good work there :)

well yes and no it was intended to do something , but i went to my friends house and listened to it and it just doesn't sound the same as it does on my computer.
And thx for leaving a review

Great quote sir! I'm amazed at how this managed to go through the audio portal with out a single vote... I usually get six zeros. Oh well. I guess the kids weren't on at 1:16 pm 3-6-09 when this finally got accepted.

[Until We Meet Again]

woo! This track is bitchin!

Very nice piece here. I can't say there's anything wrong with it, so dropping a review for something like this can be pretty difficult. As a drummer, I guess I could bitch and moan about there being no percussion, but in all honesty, I think percussion would ruin the light vibes this track has going. Great job xeno!

Xenoscape responds:

thanks! yeah, i decided to leave the hard-hitting percussion out on this one in favor of pleasant strings and melodies.

Really experimental structure you have here. It's interesting how it climaxes relatively early then kind of burns out. Great melodies, and the pads create great atmosphere. The only I'd do differently is have a longer intro, a longer chorus, and then I'd bring it all back around for another go. Other than that it's perfect. Really great track sir!

Xenoscape responds:

I know that you've got quite a few fans around here so it's very nice to have comments from you! it's definitely on the experimental side, I kinda like that though...

oh yeah, rockin man. Really sexy loop you got here. The only thing I'd say is that you might want to go for some more bass in there... it's opinion though.

KgZ responds:

Good call, will do good sir- thanks for listening.

Hot damn.

My personal favorite is Ruqal. Seriously, I'd have sex with him if it wasn't considered masturbating.

Also, good job other people. I bought all of you.

uhhh...

Dude. You obviously stole that four to the floor rhythm from bass hunter. Did you think you were going to away with it? Did you? Well did you? Really, what the fuck were you thinking when you laid down those kicks?

Fucking cunt.

LK412 responds:

Ur joking right? Please tell me you are. Cuz ive seen your name on the forums a lot and you seem smart and witty. I can't tell if you are making fun of outlaw or u actually think i stole the rhythm. Please PM me.

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.

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?

You might want to get yourself tested...
