Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SR - Otamatone (Sine Remix)]

FIRST!

Fuck man that voice synth was sexy. the panning gave me something to think about too. I usually have trouble commenting on ambient stuff because a lot of it sounds the same to me. This song had some serious character to it though. I'm honestly extremely turned on right now. This song got me hard.

SineRider responds:

lol quarl u so funny thanks for the review

[Enter The Sun]

ssmsssssdsddsdssggggg

damn, that automation on the reese was sliiiick. i loved that shit man. i'm going to guess that was done up in reason? that synth sounded a lot like a malstrom patch i commonly route up when i'm looking for a quick dirty bass fix.

the melodies were catchy, the drums were predictable but nice. im away from reliable speakers at the moment so i can't comment on the mixing or anything but it sounded like you might benefit a little from playing with panning a tad. dunno, maybe your panning a lot. i'm also drunk.

<3 <3

ZuneInc responds:

Youre right about that reese, that its done with reason, but its the mighty THOR which is creating that sound. The Automation for the reese i improvised in one take and im using as much panning as i can. But not too much :) Thanks a lot for the comment! Its also great that you were drunk :D

[Blades of Hattori Hanzo]

nadnadnaddan

haha, i just went through kill bill again with the gf for her first time. those hattori hanzo swords are mad good. not sure if that was what you were referencing but that's what i got. loved hearing this man, really classic sounding tune. im not sure why but i think my browser is glitching up a bit. the player is pausing every half second or something. problem on my end. i had to download to listen to this the way it was meant... it made interesting syncopations though :p

the flute was perfect sounding. nice samps/ patches. the piece is really good and i can't really find anything negative to say about it. i would have thrown a really dirty synth in there that would just go WOOOOOOOMP UMP UMP WEEEEEEEEEET DOOTILY DOOT DOOTILY DOOT then loop x 10 but that's just me. also, that would probably require changing up the entire song... can i haz midi files? :3 :3 :3

S3C responds:

Ha nice! Yeah good catch, the title is inspired by Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill. Great film(s)!

Thanks for the review, Quarl! yes you can haz midi files, just shoot me a PM with your email and I'd be happy to send! Thanks again.

[Age Old Question]

thinking about aliens perfectly rational.

ill be honest, ive never actually checked out your music and if i have, i don't remember. im glad i decided to pop in. this shiznit is really slick. that rhythm, so fucking weird. normally i wouldn't want to accent every quarter note in an idm piece but you pulled it off so well. the track builds up and breaks down so awesomely too. how you managed to repeat the recipe several times over within six minutes without losing my attention... fucking awesome.

i love this/ you.

InvisibleObserver responds:

You are a bum-tard. I'm not just here for show.

... Oh wait.

[Dub Tales]

lol

i was gonna ask if dumbstep could be 4/4 and still be dumbstep but that ending completely took me by surprise. at first i thought it shifted into 5/4 but now im not sure whether it was just a mild syncopation or a cross rhythm or wut. did you just move the snare around? what happened there? sounds fucking delicious whatever you did. everything else sounds clean as shit too. im in love.

ps, that title is fucking great :)

Reanu-Keeves responds:

Yeah most of it was in 4/4 so I kinda cheated, but I liked the groove. I did change it to 5/4 near the end to mix it up a bit, but also kept a few of the 4/4 clips in there for fun. So it is sorta a cross rhythm or watever

[|\||_| Stardust [Hardstyle]]

happy review!

this is pretty much perfect for what you set out to do. i might recommend spending more time on your moozicks but then i'd be a complete hypocrite and it's not like spending more time on this would make it any better. good work good sir :)

Numi responds:

I'm very glad you enjoyed the track, sir =D

And yes, I do need to put more time/effort into my mooziks... but I'm just so damn lazy xD

[Cerulean Monk]

YAR

I don't play guitar so I'm not sure if this will be helpful at all but my friend once described guitar melodies as shapes. Maybe try thinking of your solos as just a juxtaposition of shapes? Dunno. Thought I'd try. In any case I like what you did with soro/monk. It's a nice mixture of jazzy tones and riffs. Love monk :)

S3C responds:

Havent heard from you in a while, Quarl. and thats an interesting way to look at improvisation, i'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the review!
