Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lunar Cycles (DEMO)]

Sexy.

All I have to say is that this track is really cool! Now to contridict that statement with a full review!

I liked the track from start to finish. I think it all blended pretty well. Again, same problem I had with your last submission I reviewed...it's too short. That Crechendo that takes us into the main part of the song was sick. The synth that comes in is perfect, the pina is nice throughout, all the way to the end. I liked the phaser in the begining...har, I have to download this. I wasn't sure if I was going to but after letting it loop for a bit, I must say, I really really like it.

DJ-Draken responds:

Wow, thanks.

Yes, it is short. But that's why I called it a Demo. Once school's finished and I have more time on my hands, I plan on completing this song and making it a little more lengthy. As well as many others hopefully.

Thanks for the comments.

[Forest Fire REVAMPED]

Zombies of he carribians!

Hmmm, zero voted...ME TOO!

Arrr, the drums are little loud, the bass is funky, the guitar is...there...it's all really synthetic, but it has a decent structure/it's pretty rockin. I have to say, that it's syntheticness is the only thing this track has going against it...aside from the over all mix quality. Not bad. The rhythmical hicups are really cool. Arrr, the tracks too short if you ask me...ARRRR, here's a five to counter that zero. I fucking hate zero voters.

DJ-Draken responds:

Lol, thanks.

Like it says in the description, it's an old song. Like, when I was first learning how to use the program. I could probably spruce up the guitar and create better balancing all around. Maybe even make it longer. I just might do that in the future.

Thanks for the review.

[Zombies Invade Suburbia]

Hey!

Hmm, classic chord progression, easy beat, funky bassline. Yep, it's punk at it purist...haha, there's that grungy angry vocalist vocalist I was looking for, and the double time I need. Hmmm, punk isn't exactly the paragon of music but it's fun to listen to. You did a good job here with a classic sound. Brings back memories...sweet sweet memories...zombies :)

The recording isn't that bad either. Alot of band uploads to newgrounds sound worse. What did you use?

therecluse responds:

We chanced upon a great studio by my music teacher at the time, full studio, protools, etc. We recorded 11 tracks in one day, and he only charged 100 dollars for everything including mastering, which was great for three kids who couldn't even drive

[revisited]

haahsbhasahbdhabah

hahahashahsahahahaaHAHAHAHAHH...garage band loops...you know, you can get really creative in that program making your own original stuff? I don't want to advertise, but all my songs are done in that program. Check out Post Alumna. It's my newest... everything is original, no loops or presets, as with all of my songs.

I'm not really going to leave a good review for this song because it's bassicly somone elses work at the hands of your mixing, but I'll go and review/ vote on something else. Really, you can do so much more in garage band then sample just loops.

therecluse responds:

You are sorely mistaken, Quarl. Everything in that song I created, looped, and mixed. I can't stress that enough.

[[IZK]¢¼Damaged Attack¢¼[FULL]]

Holy sound jesus batman.

Har, sounds like alot of work went into mixing this up. I really like it. Sounds pretty original. Not as original as lets say, padman, but it's out there. Really funky man. Sweet rhythem going on. haha, that quitar is so awesome...wah peddle? Arrr. So many sick sounds going on. I have to download/5 vote this. How could I not?

Jenni-Harry4eva3 responds:

Lol, yeah. Whole bunch of funk, mixed with major DNB (Drum 'n' Bass) and then more crap all around it :D. Actually, the guitar I used in my program is called 'Funkman' XD. Weird huh? Lol. Thanks for the download and 5.

[Diamond Rimz]

Original.

This has a nice blend of sounds. The piano progressed nicely. It was a bit strange at first, but when it got a bit further into the song it really came together. The rhythems are nice, and the pads are sweet. You did a pretty good job here. Really original.

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

hey, thank you for the nice comments.

I've noticed you reviewed 1 or 2 of my tracks before, as always, I greatly appreciate you reviewing my work man!

[Make-shift dream]

ARrr, not bad.

Hmmmm, sounds pretty cool. Some of it was a little too simple...uhhh...I'm afraid this isn't dnb though. Not even close. It's more like, dance or techno or something. Hmmmm, that aside, this is pretty neat. I liked that voice sample. The track progressed nicely, and every thing accented nicely. This is one of those track that sounds better the more you listen to it. I let it loop a few times in my browser while typing up this review. Good work...keep at it, and upload some more stuff!

Gauvner responds:

I know its not DNB Now lol i didnt know what catagory to put it in but cheers :) this one is kinda a sample for future works keep a look out \m/

[I'm With Stupid (New)]

SKA

Sweet ska jesus batman. Newgrounds needs more of it. Glad you decided to upload you're crew. You need a better recording, but I can tell you guys have some serious fun...unless your one of those guys who records only himself playing and doesn't do shows...hmmm, lyrics=generic, but whatever. At least the guy singing isn't that bad. He's not great, but he's not horrible, so he's like, right there in the middle. Right where a ska vocalist needs to be.

The drums are very genre specific, horns, guitar...it's all pretty much been done, but you guys nailed the sound. I might recomend trying to branch out and try sounding a little more original, but...eh. It doesn't really matter that much. As long as your having fun. That's really what matters most. You get my 5.

AceIH responds:

I'd consider some of the other songs I've posted to be more original...Faux was an attempt to do something a bit different, and even The Performer was written as a ska song (but that one I had to perform on my own, because my ska band didn't like it).

But yeah, even if it isn't our most original, it is, hands down, the favorite of most everyone (not including me) in the band, just because of that energy.

Anyway, thanks for the review! For a second, it looked like none of my new submissions were getting any attention.

[StereoTactik's DnB Tutorial!]

hahaaahaah ahahshfahsfvah ahsfhs eg, drums. :P

haha,ah ah a haHA VAAHHHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Seriously though, this tickled me a couple of times. You sound just like this kid in my band. Right down to the rocken out rebel yell.

StereoTactik responds:

LOLOLOLOLYAAAAAAYA

[PN and YB Let the Pianos]

Hmmm....

Trying to keep in mind that it's not your style...

Hmm, sounded a little weak. I'm not trying to insult you, it was nice for what it was, but I think you could have used a stronger drum. It sounded cheap. Not just the snare, but the bass and the hi hats sounded pretty bad. The rhythem wasn't that bad, it was just the sound of it.

The whistle melody was iery and cool. The claps fit nicely. I think the synth cold have used a bit more bass behind it. For a song titled "let the pianos play" it could have used a little more piano. The little piano melody was just, too simple. In anycase, the song loops really well. I didn't even know when it was looping :P

I'd say to go back and work on this some more, but address the problems your reviewers leave you with. I think this song could be more powerful. It's just missing stuff. It's not bad, it just doesn't sound like your using profesional equipment/presets. I don't know how true that is, maybe not at all, but if that's what it sounds like, then it doesn't really matter whether you did or didn't.

And please, don't look at my review like it's an insult. I'm just trying to help. You have some really cool tracks. You're dnb stuf is sick. I'm not sure if hip hop is where you should invest your talent. I think it belittles your real talent. I'm listening to malfunction right now,...damn sick. I'm giving this a three, but I'm giving malfunction a five...I'd drop a review on it too, but I fell like I've typed up enough here. Again, i'm sorry if I sound condensending or something.

Para-Noid responds:

Hey, there's always the critics man. Where ever you go, you see them. Some are good ones, some basically slap your face.
