Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Red Leaves Outside]

laffy taffy!

I really like the voice. It's well done. Not bad for some one your age. I can tell that your gonna have a lot of fun with your music when you get older, cause it sounds like your already at it. Question: Was this recording done in one shot or did you record the guitar track and the vocals separately?

Also, do you mind if I take the file and add some synthetic drums for fun? I'm an electronic music producer, but a drummer before anything else so I can promise you they'll sound good. I'll send the finished file to you for uploading. What do you say : 3 Pretty please? Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top? rawr?

LenardNotLenny responds:

They were two separate tracks, cause I had to fiddle around with the guitar a little bit to make it sound less powerful for the track.

I'd love to hear what you make of it. Just be sure to send me the file. Thanks for the review.

[drum and blues]

WEEEE!

You just love experimenting with your melodies. Your work is always so much fun to listen to. Sure it goes against a lot of traditional dnb ideals, but it's just so much fun.

Those are some nice phat drums, great vibes. Very interesting compositional choices. Very interesting. I'm not sure what else to say really. Good work I guess :D

Stan-SB responds:

wooo quarls talking again!!
lol this is the less complicated version i put this in as an exam peice for school but it had about 3 separate arpeggio's and a key change !!
btw im in an exclamation mark mood

[{r} Ascended]

yessssss

OH MY GOD... when I read ambient I was all ready to relax and get comfortable. That pad came in and I was like "oh, how pleasant." Then that madness! I had my volume way up too. God damn. Scared the shit out me.

Great song man! I'm loving that dramatic rhythm. It gets things pumping hard. Guh, this is fucking gold. I'm playing this at my house rave tomorrow. Guh. SO DAMN AWESOME...actually, it might just be because I just smoked a nice bowl pack... hmmm... I'm too high for my own good D:

I have a new favorite song :)

Rawrthaas responds:

yeeeee

[*- Pokémon DancemiX -*]

meow mix : 3

lol. This is fucking intense dance mix happiness! I'm so playing this tomorrow night at my house rave. Now, I've kind of lost touch with pokemon over the years, so I'm not familiar with the melody. Did it come from a new game, or is this track entirely irrelevant to pokemon? Rawr.

Really great sound quality is pumping through this. Awesome synths, drums, and sex. Oh the sex is sooooo good. I'm usually not a fan of the less rhythmic electronic genres, but you did such a good job here. I'm floored. Get it? It was a pun... like... four to the floor? Um, yeah!

Kittens!

Jebbal responds:

Okay, but be careful! Someone died last time I played this at a party!

The song is from an old pokemon cd. It is completely relevant to pokemon! Its irrelevant to Wall-E, however, which is a shame. :(

You've complimented me so much! I feel like I need to say some nice things about you now! I like the way you move. I like the way you groove. FOUR TO THE FLOOR. I just wanted to try something different with the drums. People really neglect this drum pattern in the dance/trance genre.

Kittens?! Ya ok! Thanks for the review!

[Awakening of the Sphinx]

nice!

It's been a while since I left a review on anything (not including the drunken flaming I did yesterday :P)

Argh this sounds so tight with my new head phones. Those bass drums sound so gorgeous. The horns are like sex in my ears. Strings sound a little thin... might be the mix, might be my own personal tastes. Who knows :)

The vocals attack too quickly and sound extremely synthetic because of that. Play with the envelope of that a bit. Other than the attack, they sound great. Nice and thick.

What program do you use? I might have asked that before, but I'll ask it again :P

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

Glad to see you here Quarl! I'm pleased that you like this one :)

The strings are indeed thin, no contrabass or viola and the chords are actually just octave stabs, so yeah :)

As for the choir, that's a good idea, I got might try messing with the volume envelope a bit.

I use FL studio- but I assume you're interested in what the samples and sounds are :) East West Symphonic Gold is what I use, and the choirs are actually a free soundfont called "flobakks" .

Thanks for the review Quarl :D

[Title Splash Sequence -r]

Niceness!

Gorgeous break. If no one uses this by the time I actually finish a new toon, I'll use it... which reminds me. I still plan on animating something to Dawn Eternal. I just have to get off my ass ( or on it) and actually work on it.

Rawrthaas responds:

shweet :)

tomfulp favorited that song! yeaaay

oh yeah by that song i mean Dawn Eternal not this one

[Genesis Blue -r]

kittens!

lol. It's so funny to listen to your old toons and hear how much you've progressed with your sound over the years. I've offered trogdar this and I'll suggest it to you too. Figure out creative ways to present your work live and my school will pay to have you do a live set. You have three years to think about it. I know I'll be getting Rig down from canada sometime next semester, and I've been trying to figure out ways of presenting my work.

Ahem, the track is really good. It hits a vibe early on that evokes some of your old work. The drums are so full. Amen break, or somewhere else? I can never tell with you. The crescendo at 44 was godly. I'm listening in on my laptop speakers, so I'm sure there's a lot of juiciness I'm missing out on. But the leads are very clear. I think your mixing has gotten really good. Ar.

Ace track man! Beyond worth checking out/ downloading/ 5 voting.

Rawrthaas responds:

"lol. It's so funny to listen to your old toons and hear how much you've progressed with your sound over the years"

haha yeah, it's pretty funny :)

[someone elses thoughts]

fun! :D

Right on. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You have a way with melody. Always catchy and fun. Really interesting choice of instruments. Such light airy vibes, and that sub is a ton of fun. I want to get a bass so bad, and your bass melodies don't help ease that thought from my mind. Gah, so much fun.

Lax drums with heavy energy. Paradox? I don't think so... Interesting aux percussion.

You have a lot of talent. I'm curious, do you play any interments? I might have asked you that already.

Stan-SB responds:

i play bass, guitar, piano, ukelele (indeed) and i murder drums (in a bad way)

[What We Are]

meow mix

Great production quality. Too repetitive. 7 minutes off ctrl v. Thats why I took off two points in the review. Also, there's about 20 seconds of silence near the end you should have cropped out. Easy fix, so I don't really care.

Great job though, really pro mix. I hope it's your own work. I always get a little afraid when new faces submit really good stuff. It happens.

In any case, keep submitting. I'll be watching you :D

Decepticon420 responds:

Yes, it's all original. And there's a silence on the end? I never noticed it...I'll have to check the file.

Yes, I will have to crop that out and repost it. Sorry 'bout that.

[harlequin pulse (Vs. quarl)]

RAWR!

lol. Vs quarl. Fucking epic :P
