Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[FUCK THE WORLD]

Love the glitch breaks. Sorry about your cat but you did the creative thing and found inspiration from it. My oldest cat is currently developing cataracts, the day will come :'C

Sorry I'm in bed on a tablet so I can't speak to the mix but it sounds and looks great. I'll probably grab my headphones later today and come back to this for a full bodied listen. The guitar chops were creative, drum rhythms were absolute fire, cool vocal edits. I can't pick out a story but the track is very enjoyable! Sorry again about your cat Barry :c

edit: imo needs compression and drum side chaining, I came back for more listens! Track went harder on my tablet but it's sick music for an evil monologue. As a huge attack on titan weeb I can honestly envision Eren stomping the world to this <3 <3

amen chops so goooood

[promising.]

tbh, I'm actually not a fan of the complete and total lo-fi filter wash. Sounds like there's some gold textures hiding behind the effects.

A high fidelity rapper on top of the track and I'd probably be a little more forgiving but without a rapper it just sounds like the entire track has a filter on the master out and too much pad tossed on top. I'd love to hear a progressive take on the lo-fi genre where you pull the filters and wash pads off every so often to let the track shine with a fuller fidelity. You could pull it off at climaxes like 00:22 and 1:48, then reintroduce the filters during the break downs?

Blending lo-fi and hi-fi probably goes against what you wanted to accomplish. My two cents but I'd never filter a track through a can and string for three full minutes if I didn't have to :p

Thank you for listening 🙏

[Leviathan]

Beautiful cacophony <3

[Master of Wealth (Halloween type HipHop)]

Woof, rapping with the power of the diaphragm. Love the grime on this track :3

[Liftoff]

Woof, love that hip hop sound bleeding into this. Brass and guitars, lovely as usual. lol, 1:31 has that jump-up dnb vibe but mad down tempo xD

Filthy good :3

sorohanro responds:

Thanks. When lack of caffeine kicks, everything I make is mad downtempo...

[Inspire]

Great rhythms, snappy snare drums, fun syncopations, beautifully done melodic elements. Perfectly creative <3

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thank you so much! Great to hear from you, Quarl!

[Insert Your Soul]

Absolutely love this. Super creative with those wet melodies and hip hop perc. Beautiful textures and ideas <3

edit, I'll be listening to this all day. I just put on my head phones because the mix looked dummy thicc. It's so entertaining and cool :3

[I'm a Biscuit (feat. Lightning Striker)]

Big drums <3

sorohanro responds:

That coming from you means a lot. Thanks :)

[Overtime]

Absolutely fresh. Slightly minimal but each element is absolutely beautiful. I feel like when I write music it's a ton of elements working together and the lesser shit gets hidden. You mixed this in a way that I can hear everything perfectly, nothing is being hidden, and it's all good. Had to give this a listen on the living room speakers, was worth it for that sub. Classic subby pitch bends, clean arps padding the atmosphere, cute plucked strings, snappy up pitch snares, wonderful vocal samples, orc instruments used sparingly, cute synth voice modulations.

Beautifully written <3

DigitalProdigy responds:

Wow!!!! Thank you so much for that review. I'm used to mixing orchestra and film music which you know have so many stems, so it's natural for some instruments to get lost in the mix, but for me mixing EDM, where there's not to many stems it's easier to showcase all of the instruments and sounds a lot easier. Still, mixing is a whole art in its own and I still have not mastered that as of yet and let's not even talk about mastering OMG!! Lol
You are so appreciated!!
