Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Supercollide]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. This piece is the god damn tits. Monk all day. tits.

[Fall From Grace (Part 1)]

I loved the way you combed a few electronic elements in there. It looks like a lot of orchestral/cinematic artists in this tourney. Good to hear someone doing it a little differently :)

[Point of Time]

Sexy guitars amidst that super round sub. Simple clean kit. Climax I can fuck to.

[Realisations]

At first I thought you meant "realizations." After learning that you can spell that word with either a "s" or a "z" I also learned that it has a musical definition. Fascinating.

Your piece has a way of morphing the beat a little each bar. Love it. Techy, krafty, dancy.At 3:04 your bass sounds like it seriously clips out the audio. Not sure what your intention was there but I'll assume it wasn't intentional. I had to listen to it a few times but all I hear is good ol fashioned too much bass distortion.

Good luck this round dude!

InvisibleObserver responds:

Thanks for the words, and yea I'm a clever wordy-poops. The bass issue is basically a bass issue - I didn't have time in my schedule to mix this down, nor with the doodoo computer that rendered it out in half an hour to be able to spot fix things.

Probably a quick little EQ LP dip on a few channels will resolve the issue.

Luck to you too broheim.

Edit: Maybe worth noting, I wasn't being tongue in cheek with the title, only I worked on and embellished this piece. :P

[A Storm Over Lavender Lane]

Loved that piano. I can hear that romantic influence. I never really got too into Debussy but chopins my dog. Really pro use of dynamics in those crechendos/decrechendos. This hits a really good smattering of emotions and themes. Good stuff :)

headphoamz responds:

Chopin Twins, UNITE! YEah dude, but glad you liked it, thanks for noticing the dynamics. Thing was a bitch to mix. :D

[Electroboy]

Swwwwwwweeeeeet. Loved that ghenghis tron arsonists get all the electro metal vibe you had going. Wish I had some cans to listen in on. You metal heads typically care more about sound quality than EDM producers :/

Good luck in round one dude!

Lashmush responds:

Thanks! c:

[Anaconda]

haha, saw Anaconda/ DNB and immediately thought it was a remix of an old API track.

Slick build up, sounds, amen break... wait... the track just ended. I was loving things but I kind of felt like the track never really climaxed. I can hear the work you put into it but I might have made the rhythms a little more exciting by playing with those drums more. Layer a few shakers in there/ throw in a few breaks to add excitement. A crisp clean kit is just the start. Those hats were just so...

:'C

My big thing with this track is just the fact that it builds so well. Why did the chorus feel so empty? On that note: I'ma go listen to API's Anaconda. Thanks for taking me back!!

(Sorry if that comes off as harsh but I really loved API back in the day. Go listen to his old stuff. Last I heard from him Spor featured him on the Lifted Podcast years ago. Now I can't seem to find him anywhere...)

Sequenced responds:

I guess this track isn't finished then! lol. and yeah, I named it anaconda because of the ending. that's what inspired me. :3
