Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zasyyt The Flute Player]

meow.

The melodies were simple, but they worked well with each other to create a nice atmosphere. The drums didn't sound very powerful. Maybe a deeper bass and a more defined snare would pull things together a bit better. All in all this is pretty cool, but it feels like it's missing something, I don't specifically feel like i'm being tranced. It should have built up to something really intense. I was kind of dissapointed, but don't gt me wrong, it was still really good :)

DoobyTimePiece responds:

thanx ill take that in account the next time i do some trance

[-[ Unleash ]-]

Arrrr.

Those drums came in so loud. Whatever, at least the beats cool. The bass is really neat. Gritty and everything. If you ask me, i'd say this track is missing something, maybe some sort of underlying melody. It just sounds really empty, but what you got is pretty strong. You should have had that crechendoing effect at the begining come back later in the track or something. You could have had it stick in the background for a while...dunno. All In all, it's a sick song. Good work man.

DSMagnum responds:

Or maybe it's missing effects? I haven't really been worrying about the upper end in my tracks recently. I've just been trying to get my basses right. As for the the pad, I've gotten many things saying I should have brought it back. If it wasn't so harsh on my CPU, I probably would have. But seeing as it would slow me down so much, the mastering would have been much worse than it was.

[The New Amen]

purrrrrr

nice glitch. I really liked it. I think the song can use more though. It comes of as really empty, and it's so short. Get some more in there please? (I really really like where this is going though.)

comanche2 responds:

Thanks for the reply! Yea its a work in progress I need to find some acapella rap or ragga I want to make a kind of glitch-jungle song kinda like Datachi's "LaByRa."

[==(Transparent Machine)==]

Taffy job! (and I do like my taffy)

Whats pico feeling you ask? Have you ever played pico? Go play it if you havn't. A majority of the sound track from the game was Hive, but I'm guessing you might allready know that, and you're just being sarcastic?

In anycase, I really like this track. IT loops nicely, and the sounds mix nicely. The rythem is pretty neat, but it could use a little bit of work. Oh, and that guy that reviewed this last might not have voted. He might just have dropped a review and ran. Eh. If it makes you el better, I gave you a five. This track definatly deserves more attention. I think it;s prety competitive. It's bright and dark at the same time, giving it some sort of innocence and character. I can almost see a story un fold when I listen to it.

Buoy responds:

yea i've played pico but I still don't know how I make a "pico feeling"

well the score dropped just when he reviewed, I didn't really think he was the one who bombed it...

thanks for the review!

[JAG~Ultima_300]

Taffy taffy taffy.

haha, I can totaly see someone DDR dancing to this. It was a really simple track, in melody and rhythem, but it held together in the long run. I really liked the synths at the begining of the track. The snare and bass drum variation was nice. Kept things original. Overall, I think it's a little too repetitive, but it's still good.

beatmasterJAG responds:

Hahaha, ask Nukem to web cam himself next time he does it! I've seen him film himself trying to be a master of the DDR before :P ROFL

Thanks for the review!

[~EnV~Chaos Sphere (Edit)]

Taffy song sir taffy of taffville.

I didn't know what to think when I heard the intro all low because I've never actually heared one of your tracks before, but I was really pleased with this. It had some really possitive energy to it. When I heard that synth charge up, I was like "adfgn fam s." My only complaint was how short this track was. It could have been wayyy longer :)

I ENVY this track. WOAH, I'm so punny. haha... :(

Envy responds:

The intro was an idea I had right from the beginning to have it slightly quiet, and I think it worked out pretty well! And yeah it definately could have been longer, but perhaps that's for another day and another remix...

I Quarl you for your remix... Does that mean anything?

[p4c-house2(complete)]

Really good....really.

Hot damn, I love this. It sounds so much better on my home computer. I love the tech feel of that one note played on the threes and fours. The polyrhythems are hot like waffles. Arr. I'd recomend coming up with more original song names. House2 just doesn't cut it :D

This has such a gritty sound to it. I love it. I really like the melody that plays at 1:30, and the harmonization sounds really slick. I can't believe this has such a low score. Some people
:( Your ideas kick ass. Curious, what program do you use?

p4c responds:

hehe ty dood ty, yeah i dont really know why all my scores are hovering at like low 3s, but w/evs. btw i use reason :D

[+=RUN=+]

I like taffy.

Alot of work is needed here, but for what it is, it's original and interesting. I think the song could be played at a faster tempo, and the drums could stand to be alot stronger and more varied, but it was a neat constant polyrhythem. The synth could be grittier. Curious, what program are you using?

DJ-DairyKing responds:

Right now.... Just FL Studio 7 care to help?

[Good Morning -Incomplete-]

Arrr, not bad taffy.

Hmmm...poor song with out a review :( I really liked this track. I was really liking the intro, so I was really thrown off at how it changed up so fast. You should have tried to drag it out a bit longer and slam down some other cool stuff. Arrr!

The guitars sounded really digital, but I can't really hold that against you. The chords were at least cool. The song got really fuzzy towards the end. All in all I'd say this is a good song to work with, and actually,...after hearing it loop around three or four times, I like that transision at the beginning. It's different.

ArisingFlame responds:

Thanks. I wish it had gotten a bit more attention. I actually plan on working the hell out of it. I'll take in all you said. ^_^ Thanks for the review!

[TAA--Duel of Valor]

Classical taffy.

First off, my speakers SUCK. Second off, from what I could make out, this was a really good classical piece. When I squinted my ears, I could hear allot of realy cool things going on. The melodies were never too complex, but they were earie. I really liked the chorus. You should have tried giving the chorus sections seperate rhythems and more dynamic parts/MORE parts. Also, most choral groups don't transission/ cut off that good and if they did, they'd have more parts in the piece. Really i'm just nit picking though. The percussion sounded key. The strings were pretty cute too. Good job here!

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks. You've got some good advice about the choir--I tried giving them more parts, but I failed and decided to keep it simpler. I guess I should have tried harder. Get new speakers, though. Or headphones. My speakers suck too, so I use my headphones for everything.

PS. How do you squint your ears?
