Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Illuminatio Ex Machina Palingenesia]

I'd head bang to this.

LD-W responds:

same

[Geometrical Progression]

Fucking killer, love it G <3

Edit: "Also looking forward to your honest comments. Because how can I get better when someone is silent about it, but someone didn't like something?"

Just take the compliments, I have nothing negative to say about this track. It's perfect.

Edit 2: Someone else just said "no sub bass." I can hear bass but I think it's just a tonal bias, some speakers aren't going to nail the bass. Mastering issue, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

G2961 responds:

Thanks a lot, Quarl! I fucking appreciate your every comment! <3
Yes, I agree, it was worth a little work on mastering, or adding a sub bass. I'll take it all into account next time, because this is the second time I'm trying to make my own Dubstep song, so everything is still ahead!

[FoD NEWGROUNDS BEAT LOOP]

FRONT FUKIN PAGE FOD IS GREAT AGAIN, FOD FOR PREZ

QUARL RULES THE WORLD!!!!!

[Starlit Sunset]

Really cool sounds and explorations! The synths are awesome. Some of these snare drums are unique, 1:04 sounded like it was being plunged. Is a drum layer getting reversed there? Some more variety in that plunged snare drum might have been amaze. I'm a slut personally for pitch bending and filtering drums periodically to emulate drum fills, helps accent the synths. You had some of that variety around 1:20 and 3:28 + 3:38. Loved those final breakbeats, the song would have benefit if you didn't save those snares for last. Layer them into the plunge snares? I also liked the snare towards the drop that starts to fade in @ 00:54. I think some of those sounds would have been great reused in the hard dubstep sections, little variety fills.

Look, I'm gonna be up front with you. Nachos, you have a snare drum fetish. This grievance is coming from someone that also gets off to certain snare drum textures, a hypocrite. If there was some kind of hidden message hiding in those snare textures, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Look, we all get our hearts broken. You didn't deserve it.

That final snare drum @ 4:03, let those tones ring out a little longer. Put a little reverb on that last snare texture, give the wave shape a cute little furry tail. tbh, that's my snare drum fetish.
Edit: the pixel animation is gorgeous <3

larrynachos responds:

The drums kinds got away from me, I had to unlearn my old habit of having only one set of percussion for the whole track.

My fetish is either having an 11 minute ambient outro or an abrupt ending. No snare tail for you >:)

[understand me]

I'm not sure fractalcore will catch on but it should. This shit is awesomeness, unique idea, perfectly executed. Very creative, I'll have to give it a try. I'd love for fractalcore to catch on but the real way you get a genre to take is if other musicians also go at it, if others share in it. Actually, get a fractalcore contest up and toss together the results as a playlist! Just saying, you shouldn't stand alone with a concept as good as this.

OVERSCORE responds:

I’ve definitely thought about hosting a contest of it, getting other musicians to try their hand… because I think the idea has potential! If you tried it out, honestly I’d be so honored. You’re an incredibly talented musician that so many look up to, despite your shady sampling…
Thanks for reviewing Quarl, always good to see you here!

[Clouded Yellow]

Joined 2008? Happy to hear you doing music, late bloomer :3

Dunso responds:

Big thanks for the scout and the generous score, majestic 05-joiner!

[NG's 30th Anniversary Music Collab]

Good hustle everyone, peers, degenerates, cat girls. Our collective ritual will summon the masses upon us, our time has come! WE ARE MUSIC INCARNATE D:<

ADR3-N responds:

Personally I think we should do big collabs like these once a month. It was so amazing watching everyone come together for the project!

[Good Bad Times (With Tori) [DEMO]]

Absolutely beautiful <3

prodbasily responds:

;-; <3

[Eye for an Eye]

Oh hell yeah, I haven't heard anything new from you in a while. Glad I swung through, track is cool, fresh. Sounds way different from your usual sound, very experimental compared to the sound that usually fits you. This is gonna make me go back and listen to some of your older tunes because it just stands out so much in comparison :3

Edit: I totally get it, the demotivation hits hard sometimes. Rant to me all you want, I get it.

Casper responds:

Thanks, I've been on this "do random genres" thing since 2024, but after the mall collab I stopped making music. I got demotivated cause I achieved my goals but now I'm doing it purely as a hobby. Before, I usually had a song out every two weeks but now I wanna do whatever. Who knows when my next track is gonna be, maybe 10 years from now... Ok no, I am planning on releasing an album of sorts this year, with a little twist to it. If you wanna listen to some of the stuff from 2024 that I released, I suggest "Distant", it's a DnB track that I enjoyed making.

Lol, sorry for the rant, I haven't done this in a while. I'm gonna come back to trip hop stuff... sometime, but I just wanna do whatever for now lmao. As for this track, it was something impulsive. I decided I wanna do phonk but I did not expect the mix to be so good, especially after this much time. Thanks for swinging by:)

[No Man's Land (Demo)]

Love the melodies and atmosphere, great sounds design Snikio!

Snikio responds:

Thank you so much!!!
