Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{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.

[Dawn Eternal -r]

purrrr

I've said it before and I'll say it again, your pianos sound divine. That vst really works man. Fuck it man, that shit sounds better than the real deal.

Synths and pads, warm and cool. The sounds and melodies out of your synths and pads usually don't need any crit, which is evident here. Awesome job man. Awesome. No complaints there.

Great track going on. I'm not a fan of that bass melody though, I feel like it could be so much more, or something entirely different.

Also, just giving you a heads up but I hate that vst guitar sound. I've heard it several times before, even out of cornandbeans, and I really just don't like it at all. You managed to squeeze out a few cool sounds here and there but there's just something about that sound that goes against the logical reasoning in my brain. You were obviously going for a more digital sound out of it anyways, and there's a very good chance that other people will love it, but I just can't. Sorry man. Still downloading and fiving it though. ;)

Also, after hearing that synth guitar loop like 8 times, it's not as bad. meow.

Rawrthaas responds:

woo

thanks for the long review :3

[Rig - Omg Dance Your Pants Off]

AReeee

wtf are you doing up at this hour!? You should be in teh bed getting some z's mister\!!

Hot damn, didn't know you could do tracks like this. Should have known better though :P

It's very dancy, kind of trancy, very fancy. I like it man! RAWR! Oh, go check out the photoshop I did of you and chron in the bbs ;)

Rig responds:

Lol, I WAS in bed. Yay for laptops!
Yeah, I was playing with Nexus and came up with this. Didn't take me as long as I thought it would...Nexus makes it pretty easy to bang out songs like this. lol. Thanks for the review!

Oh, and that pic is scary o_O

[-(Flying High)-]

mra

Well, there are a lot of great things going on here. My only gripe would be that the equalizing doesn't sound even in a few spots (and by that, I mean that my ears get a little blown.) The spots are few, but they're there. I think it's the of the chrechendoing swoops. Dunno. I'd have to listen to this again when I'm not so tired. If you respond to this review, I can guarantee that i'll listen to this again. For now, you get a 4 and a smily face :)

dittyboppoo responds:

=) Yay smiley face!

[Yummy Muffin ft. Cyril]

haha!

That was so fucking awesome. I'm not even going to bother doing my own screaming, version, this one was too perfect. His scream has some serious length too. I usually blow my load quick. I really wish I could play this on my radio show, but the word fuck is used :(

Rig responds:

I'll send you a censored version if you want :D
Thanks for offering to scream, btw!
