Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[==(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?

[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?

[DJ Comet-Crackhead]

Taffy!

I really don't get the point of 400 bpm. Can the brain even interpret sound that fast? I know that the fastest a human can take in visualy per second is 24 frames, it wouldn't suprise me if there is a similar cap on sound. And for the most part, I can't really hear the benefit of speed core. Though the speakers I have hooked up at the moment SUCK. For some reason my good ones stopped wortking.

Despite the 400 bpm thing, I actually liked what I could hear through my muzzled speakers. The hard rhythem was really neat. It was hard to predict, and the background instruments didn't over power the rhythem at all. The synth melody was really earie and cool. Really, you did a good job here. I can't say i've heared too much like it. I wish my speakers didn't suck so much. I gave you the benefit of the doubt for clarity. I also gave you a 10 for effort seeing as how you worked at...well...400 bpm.

TheComet responds:

actually the brain can piece together an animation at 24 fps MINIMUM, the actual "framerate" the brain can interpret is well into the thousands per second.

[SR - Pico's Battle]

Arrr, nice pice song :)

Damn, this is pretty cool. I keep finding sick pico day songs, but I don't have the time to animate with school and what not. I swear, I'm gonna make up for it by animating like three cartoons next year...or one good one lol.

In any case, this was really sick. I hope some one picks it up and uses it...

SineRider responds:

thanks

[Jazz - That's Life]

Hmm, jazz drums? pishaw!

"Well it appears no one took the time out of their busy little schedules to review this song... so hear I am. Those sons of bitches."

Haha. We're all just a bunch of losers :P

This song has some cool melodies and stuff going on here, but as a drummer, I was really dissapointed with the drums. You need more SWING man. Throw some e's and a's into that stale hi hat rythem. Heck, make that hi hat a soft ride cymbal, trust me. Add a kick and a snare as well! Snare, snare snare! Kick kick kick. Really, the straight rythem had me practicly asleep. Though, like I said, the melodies were nice. (oh, for added sexyness, try putting in some drum fills on a third measure here or there, then drop the rythem completly for a measure of straight tonal instrumental for some jazz mix.) purrr, I gave you a four because really, I hated the drum rythem. Other than that, this was really good. Be proud of your work!

preffertobedead responds:

YES YES YES!...i made the drums on my own...but i just sticked to the rules...i used the Jazz Drums...i believe some ppl will think they are bothering...and they are right...but...well...is my 1st Jazz attempt..so...my failures will go fixing along with the time...=)

next time...i'l put some breaks with the drums...it wouldn't sound bad...^^

Thanks Quarl..=)
