[Exyl x Paper Skies - HOW]

Man that reverb is to die for
it's almost too smooth

Exyl responds:

my brain is too smooth

[Cardiovascular Disease]

Really good stuff
00:32 has a great rhythm to it
love the goofy aah noises in there too
great stuff all around

ImTheHay responds:

Thank you so much friend !!

[Distant]

The ending is breath taking !!
don't even know how you created the lead synth
it's so strong

Cursedsnake responds:

It's just a saw with a lot of detune. I also set it to compress its own reverb when it plays- the reverb is pretty long and gets a little bit distortion on top. All of this goes to my synth-only channel which adds even more reverb. Probably not really necessary... but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For the drop it simply changes from saw to square a few times.
Finding myself using this kind of synth leads very often- I like it :3

[retro air receptacle]

absolute banger

JA4Y responds:

thank you!!!

[NG Audio Portal 20th Anniversary Collab]

Man wish i could've finished what i made for it
This is still absolutely awesome though !!
well done everyone involved

TartsGMD responds:

Sorry you couldn't make it in :( I hope you at least get it out though! And thank you for the kind words on the collab as well :)

[One Night]

My man awesome vocal mixing
love the fact that the drop only plays once
more people should do that tbh
if you want more drop just replay the song am i right

RealGares responds:

I really appreciate you taking the time to post this comment :D

And yeah, I did it once because the replayability will be higher muahahahhaha 😂

[The Laundry Is Done [VIDEO][Jamuary Day 26]]

What a amazing track!!

this song gives so much inspiration.
the fx on the vocal together with the sidechaining of the kick really stood out to me as something special
idk why or how but i think the mix between the rif and the vocal made me feel some kinda way

great drums
very warm and crunchy
(Personally this is my fav song from you this far)
i genuinely really like it

Quarl responds:

I probably only worked an hour on the music. Was very quick to get something together for this and am happy with it <3

[We Are All - Temptation DNB remix [Jamuary Day 25]]

I fucking love those snares
There so crunchy and phat
juicy even
and a little bit silly and goofy
awesome

Quarl responds:

I thought I made them a little too loud, will probably emaciate them a little if I ever open this file for future projects....

[Absolutely Gutted (Jamuary Day 18)]

OOh wow !!
i didn't know people shared sample packs on newgrounds
That's awesome

guess it's time for me to do the same

Quarl responds:

There's always a handful of people that will put together resources, AD3R does it often. We had trumpet packs from Mihai that he packaged for sale. I was considering putting together a sample pack of my e-drums but have been absolutely gutted for free time lately...

[Pleasures [Jamuary Day 15]]

Man ive been wondering how you make these sounds
there so sharp

Quarl responds:

Second guess every knob twiddle. Constantly compare yourself to others and try to your hearts effort to sound more like the mix downs you look up to.

To be 100% honest, I'm kind of shit with my fidelity tools. I went by the "learn to trust your ear" school of musical ignorance and half of what I know is just the result of dumb knob twiddling and experimentation. I turn limiters on and off then off and on again like "I have no idea what I'm doing. Somebody please, stop me."

Apparently if you compress too much, it's bad but it's also bad if you don't compress at all. I know panning is a good trick but I'm kind of deaf in one ear. I always wonder how lopsided my mix must sound to someone with perfect ears...
