Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rucklo ft.Kerstin - OpenFields]

rawr!

This song is really cool. I can't knock you for the mono quality. At art school, I have to cut so many good ideas from my projects due to time constraints, so I know where you're coming from.

That voice is perfect. She would have to be a professional? Hmmm, I wish I could sing like that. The morphing bass was really cool. The drums sound perfect. Gah, this is cool. I'd love to hear a re-mix of this, but you stated that's unlikely...meh.

Rucklo responds:

Yeah, Kerstin is more or less professional, I think she's studying to become a teacher, for singing and piano or something like that...

If I ever find the time to, it's not impossible that I re-use the vox and maybe some of the track... who knows...
Thanx alot for the review mate! :)

[Lejin - Gae ChurchBoi]

Hurtful, but kind of funny.

Wow, I feel really bad for this kid, but this song is really funny. My feelings are mixed, so I'll just review the song for what it is aside from the lyrics.

Shit drums, cute synths, aw fuck it, those lyrics are hilarious. This is horribly funny. It's so wrong. What did he do to deserve this?

Lejin responds:

He made a song making male sex backgrounds...lol exposed hahaha

[Get Fresh Episode 1]

lol.

Funny script. It wasn't really music, but it was fun to listen too. Did you do the background music too, or was that royalty free sound from some one else?

Syntrus responds:

I made the background music its posted on NG its called Japenese Menu Music.

[Rig - Second To None]

lol

So you just decided to shit out a song? Fuck you. This is awesome! I hate your talent! lol.

Rocking bass, solid drums, awesome sounds. There's nothing wrong with this track, it rocks all around. I hope your kidding about having done this all in one day, it's just too much, too good, too spectacular.

Really, if you did do this all in one day, then stop. Stop making music. You've achieved your paragon, your apex, your zenith. You can only go down from here. Believe me, it's a long steep hill downwards and the only thing waiting for you is pavement. Evil dirty pavement that infects you when you scrape your knees. Not that good soft pavement that spoiled your child hood. This shit is rough, jagged like the teeth of a lion man. You have no fucking idea.

Seriously though, your incredible.

Rig responds:

Awww...thanks for your fawning. Yes, I did write this song today. Actually, it took about 4 hours :P
You're right. I'll never do better than this. I'LL QUIT :'(

rule 10

[{GBD} Cascade (pt1)]

Nice.

Hmm, interesting sound. The intro was really strange and creepy. I felt like it constantly rising, which was a new sensation for me. I love getting new vibes from new sounds. Love it.

The drums were kind of bizarre to me. I didn't really find them to be too dnb. I think they were more industrial that anything else, maybe hardcore, but I wouldn't say dnb. Regardless, it was really cool. This is a really dark track. There was one thing that threw me off, and it happened twice in the track. It happens 3 seconds into the song and at around 12. The volume gets a little strange. That's it though.

Good stuff man. Really experimental and fresh. Rock on.

DoobyTimePiece responds:

thank you q masta. its nice to get some fresh advice as well.

[Crazy Sax]

sassy.

I've heard a few people incorporate sax recordings they did in a few submissions, but this is the first really good sax solo I've heard here. I'm really inspired by this. Good job man. Really good.

TheLobsterman responds:

Im glad I inspired you :D, you should make a trumpet solo

[p4c-sines of the past v2]

great stuff!

Beautiful man, really. I haven't listened to your work in a long time, and I'm starting to wonder why. This is simply gorgeous.

I love that beeping 4/4th thingy. Very relaxing. Very calm. Those sweeping pads are very cool and breezy. The drums work. I guess it's not easy to construct a snare out of just sine waves, but I really wouldn't know because I don't have an audio program that allows me to get into such depth with the instruments. If there was anything that I would recommend working on some more, it would be the drums, but I guess there's another version of this song I can go back and listen tom, right :P

p4c responds:

hehe yeah the snare was such a bitch, ill try to work on it later. its jst really really distorted :DD personally i like the other one better tho :)

if i start getting more stuff out ill be sure to tell ya, thx for the rev!

[The Newgrounds Jingle]

lol, funny.

Well, it's not using samples :D so good job there. Just letting you know though that you can create original stuff in garage band without using a mic to record outside noises. There are built in midi creation devices, musical typing options and plenty of preset instruments you can tool around with to create your music with but you might all ready know all that. If you need any help with garage band let me know. I use it too :P

The song itself is pretty funny, reminds me of that episode of Harry Potter Puppet pals where everyone sings their own name. Or several tracks I've heared here on newgrounds... or the song I made for my final art crit last semester... well, the idea isn't new or original, but I'm just happy that you went right to work on a track that didn't utilize any samples after I asked you to do so. Good job man, I hope to see more out of you sometime. (Hell, this submission makes me want to upload that track I made for class, lol.)

TheLobsterman responds:

haha thats exactly what inspired me

[Rig - Civilization Loop]

meow!

Well, the bass sounded fine to me through my headphones, and it came through great on my shit lap top speakers. Really everything sounds fucking awesome. Pads are great, drums are ace. I wish I could hear that one synth melody in the back more. The thought of whatever it is that's playing back there is really itching my brain.

I can't wait to hear where this goes. I really love it man.

Rig responds:

Thanks, man! I'm still figuring out how the thing will progress from here, haha.

[Alt+F4]

nice rawrthaas

I never heard the original, but I really like this. good keys, good synths, good pads, good stuff. The only thing I didn't like was the bass drum. It could have been a lot deeper and bassier. Also, I'm not a huge fan of trance, so yeah, I'm sorry if I end up giving you an 8 instead of a 9...

Is the original artist on newgrounds, or should I look him up elsewhere?

Rawrthaas responds:

Alt F4 is the collective name for Joonas Hahmo & Matti Kotala (discogs.com ftw). They are professional so they're not here on NG. I'm pretty sure Alt+F4 is the only original production by them. Everything else by them has been a remix of another song.
