Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[RAZING ARIZONA(pt1)[v1]]

Woah, this is by far the strangest thing I've heared in a while. I've never heared anything really like i, so it's hard for me to review. It got cooler the longer I listened to it, but I think some of it might have been a little too loud. Work on that mastering. Turn down some of the stuff and bring those synth rhythmical melodies to the front.

I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but after letting it loop for like 30 minutes while talking in aim, it's actualy pretty nice. Do I hear a piano in there?

[This hate inside us!]

YUM

NICE. I've never actually heared any of your tracks, but this was a really awsome suprise. I've seen you around the forumns, and I saw this in the audio advertisment thread. I'm really glad I checked it out. It sounded so clean. I'm curious, do you have a band behind you, or is that all you? It's really good. The drums arn't that technical (i'm a drummer, so you cant fool me there) but they accented everything else really nicely. The guitar chords held together really strongly. The only thing this track is missing, is a high pitched wailing lead guitar, and a vocalist. With those two ingredients, this track could sound profesional. Aside from that, the ending kind of seemed to come out of no where, it just kind of cut into a decrechendo, could have done something else with it, but over all, this is a really good track. Download, five, and name recognition. I'm deffinatly checking back in on you in the future for more sick tracks...also, I'm gonna go listen to some of your other tracks. I'm not gonna review any, because I'll probably run out of nice things to say really fast...but believe me, you're sounding really good right now...

Sweet review there buddy. As for the question...Nope, No band at all, it's all me - cept for the drums this time. ;)

Thanks for the cool review dude! Keep in touch. lol ghey!

[Zasyyt The Flute Player]

meow.

The melodies were simple, but they worked well with each other to create a nice atmosphere. The drums didn't sound very powerful. Maybe a deeper bass and a more defined snare would pull things together a bit better. All in all this is pretty cool, but it feels like it's missing something, I don't specifically feel like i'm being tranced. It should have built up to something really intense. I was kind of dissapointed, but don't gt me wrong, it was still really good :)

DoobyTimePiece responds:

thanx ill take that in account the next time i do some trance

[-[ Unleash ]-]

Arrrr.

Those drums came in so loud. Whatever, at least the beats cool. The bass is really neat. Gritty and everything. If you ask me, i'd say this track is missing something, maybe some sort of underlying melody. It just sounds really empty, but what you got is pretty strong. You should have had that crechendoing effect at the begining come back later in the track or something. You could have had it stick in the background for a while...dunno. All In all, it's a sick song. Good work man.

DSMagnum responds:

Or maybe it's missing effects? I haven't really been worrying about the upper end in my tracks recently. I've just been trying to get my basses right. As for the the pad, I've gotten many things saying I should have brought it back. If it wasn't so harsh on my CPU, I probably would have. But seeing as it would slow me down so much, the mastering would have been much worse than it was.

[The New Amen]

purrrrrr

nice glitch. I really liked it. I think the song can use more though. It comes of as really empty, and it's so short. Get some more in there please? (I really really like where this is going though.)

comanche2 responds:

Thanks for the reply! Yea its a work in progress I need to find some acapella rap or ragga I want to make a kind of glitch-jungle song kinda like Datachi's "LaByRa."

[p4c-Escape]

Nice track taffy.

Hmmm , sounds pretty original. I like the drums for the most part... they're sort of dnb, cliched, but some of its really cool. The melodies all work real nice. I like the sounds and what not, really, good stuff. The ambience of the music in some parts really underlines the drums, and makes you focus on the rhythem. I think this is a pretty cool track. Deffinatly worth a 5 and a download.

[{Barbed Wire} MAC7]

Purrrrrrrr.

ha, damn. Got that slow kicking beat and some slick bass. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it was good. The only problem I can see here is how animators wanting to loop this will have to figure out how to do so manually, becuase letting it go back to the start is just doesn't loop too good. With that in mind, you should have created a smooth ending. Really, that's the only problem here. Good work, and good luck!

[==(Transparent Machine)==]

Taffy job! (and I do like my taffy)

Whats pico feeling you ask? Have you ever played pico? Go play it if you havn't. A majority of the sound track from the game was Hive, but I'm guessing you might allready know that, and you're just being sarcastic?

In anycase, I really like this track. IT loops nicely, and the sounds mix nicely. The rythem is pretty neat, but it could use a little bit of work. Oh, and that guy that reviewed this last might not have voted. He might just have dropped a review and ran. Eh. If it makes you el better, I gave you a five. This track definatly deserves more attention. I think it;s prety competitive. It's bright and dark at the same time, giving it some sort of innocence and character. I can almost see a story un fold when I listen to it.

Buoy responds:

yea i've played pico but I still don't know how I make a "pico feeling"

well the score dropped just when he reviewed, I didn't really think he was the one who bombed it...

thanks for the review!

[Fighting Dirty]

Arrrr, Taffffyyyyy.

I loved those rythmical squishy noises at the begining of the track, it builded into a neat little rhythem section. This is a really cool song...I'm not sure if it's pure techno, it kind of mixes a few sounds. Overall though, I'd say this is really original. Really dramatic!

[Karbon - Pico's On Acid [MAC7]]

Sick track man.

How pissed off would you be if I also told you to turn this into a DNB?

haha, umm, joking aside, sick track. Deffinatly doesn't put me in a trance, but if this had the bennefit of a longer track length (as in, not a loop) this could probably build really good. I see this as like, a chill funky break down section after a long haul. The melody is really cool, the way it dances around some notes here and there. Deffinatly one of the better comp entries I've heard yet.
