Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Den of the Lion]

RAWR!

It all sounded pretty cool, like something out of AOE. right off the bat though I could tell you that this submission's perussion could use some chrechendos. It's all at the same velocity or about the same range anyways. Any variences are too subtle to really notice. Try making the percussion more dynamic. The rhythms are cool though. Especialy the bongo/congas or whatever they might be.

The melodies in the back are sweet and cool. I love that instrument that sounds like it's sliding up and down. Sass taffy right there. The track loops perfectly. I didn't catch any clips or chops. Those keys near the end sounded beautiful, though they could have been equalized more up front so I could hear it better. It played a backseat where it could have commanded.

Overall this is a really good track. Really pretty sassy and subtly taffy. Keep jamming ;)

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

hey thanks man :D

as with all my tracks, i could use more dynamics(not hat I didnt use any tho, just too subtle like you said)...it just gets tedious ya know. and yes those are congas, timbales, and tablas used in the percusion here. glad you liked the melodies.

anyways, thanks a lot, I'll take your advice into consideration for the next track I make :)

[SysRq-The Last Color]

*wink

You did a really good job here. Everything accented pretty well. The melodies were pretty sassy. The rhythm didn't really impress me but that's only because I'm a douche when it comes to rhythm. I've been drumming for a long time so I enjoy hearing drums that make me think. Though the hi-hat rhythms were all right, but overall the beat was pretty straight forward. Ar!

It's pretty late right now where I am, so I'm having trouble thinking up things to say. I want to hear this tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Till then, you get a 4 a download and a metaphorical high five.

SysRq00 responds:

Yeah, with the drums I figured I wanted to stay simple. My brother (also a drummer) thought it could have used some toms. I think I agree with him now that I've listened to it myself a few times. But thanks for reviewing/downloading/4ing/hi-fiving! XD

[<+R+> On the Green it Rains]

RAWR!!!

All right, another Rawrthaaaaassssss track. Sweat deal.

It all sounds good, no real complaints about anything, though the track does sound a little low. You should bring everything up next time, though it was easy enough to raise the volume on my speakers. With that minor problem aside, there really isn't anything negative about this. Nice sounds coming through...pianos, strings, flute. All mixed really well. The drums sounded pretty chill. Arrrr, good sounds man. I tried voting you up, seems like you've suffered some undecent voting treatment man. ARRRR.

Rawrthaas responds:

HEY you're online!

did you still wanna collab?

[Sugar Loaf Lane]

rockn

Hmmm, quite the sex you got going on here. Intro was really nice. Melodies, sub bass, excellent. Really really cool intro man. Really cool. Traditional beat...but I think it could have used a stronger snare. The lead synth sounds a little weak too. Hmm. Ar. There was a piano in there that I really liked. I think you could have brought that forward a bit. It was too quite to really enjoy.

Overall, this song rocks. It's really nice and really peaceful. I tip my hat at you sir.

maximusmonk responds:

Yeah, I agree with you about making some parts stronger. I guess I just don't put much thought into the fine-tuning, particularly since I'm not exactly working with state-of-the-art equipment. It's hard to get the sound you're looking for when your only instrument is Fruity Loops, and when your speakers are only slightly better than the crap that is packaged with your computer.

[squarepusher remix-male pill13]

Rawr!

Such a great remix. You really captured the essence of the original track while maintaining a new sound. I love Squarepushers work, and I love it when people try to get his sound. My only complaint is that this is way too short. I understand how much work went into producing it but honestly, this could have stood to be a little longer. AR. Keep up the good work man.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

longer, no ways, it was getting to be real pain in the arse... go and listen to the original, it's way better:/

[Chaos Poison Bomb Shock]

giggle

I thought it was funny, but what really made me lol was the title.

StereoTactik responds:

bird bath

[Finding That Something Special]

arrrR

I thought this to be quite the sex kitten...very fun, very interesting, very abstract. Awesome! You got my 5, my download, and my love!! giggle. My only complaint is that the intro synth/ radar effect noise was a little too much and at higher volumes, a little annoying. Regardless, I still like the song.

pitbulljones responds:

Haha this tune be sexing you up? You pervert!!!!! XD. glad you can take so many things from it, sort of flew this tune, which is always good when producing, rather than slaving away. yea i hear you about that opening synth, no headphones sadly so i do miss bits like that from time to time. No problems to and it's duely noted.

thanks for the 5 and review.

[<+R+> Save you]

yum

The thing I liked about this would have to be the vocals...only problem is that i'm guessing you grabbed them off af a website, royalty free, where any one else can grab em too...so you end up sharing a front man with every other DJ on the block...am I right?

In anycase, I really liked what you built around the track. It reminded me of karbons "star." Twas pretty good. I'm working on a track at the moment with my friend vocalising. He has an all state voice so it's not gonna be crap! Look out for that track in the coming weeks eh?

Sorry, I just felt like I was advertising there...haha! Sorry. Still, I like this track. It was extremely generic, but it sounded perfect so I can't complain. It's a good jam. I think you should have incorperated some of your trademark drums into the track. It would have lost it's classic vibes, but it would have gained so much more. Eh, it's just my opinion. You did good ;D

u r rite

[<+R+> Darkened Lights]

Taffy.

Sick...sounds like some glitch in the intro...sweet little melody going with that quite fuzzy rhythm...hmmm...it's picking up, still a little fuzzy, still quite...hmm, sick whale sounding thing. Nice little break. ..hmmm erie melodies playing here. Very dramatic yet calm. This is pretty different from alot of your other stuff, though some things stick out and remind me of some of your other tracks... I'm really liking it...I wish it was a bit longer though. And I wish it kicked up into something more, but for what it was, it was pretty cool. I really liked it...haha sub bass kick there.

You're really pumping out the tunes eh?

Rawrthaas responds:
