[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...

[Tenfold feat. Xinxinix [Jamuary Day 14]]

Damn i really like the top melody on this one !!
love how you made the pitch shift slightly

Quarl responds:

I usually go too nutty with pitch bends but I lurv them <3

[You Hearing [Jamuary Day 11]]

funky bass go brr

Quarl responds:

WHAT?

[Flying Into Headwind [Jamuary Day 9]]

I love the melodies in this one
like the Top leads at 01:08
what a awesome synth sound

Quarl responds:

thank you bary. I was having doubts about this one. I'm getting more experimental as I get further into Jamuary. Starting to get tunnel vision and pessimism. I don't trust my ears anymore Dx

[Don't Drink The Punch [Jamuary Day 7]]

i drank the punch...
what now..
what happens next...
ooh no...

Quarl responds:

Someone spiked the punch with clown orgy, does it taste funny?

[Sad Melodies In A Cold Room In Front Of A Washing Machine [VIDEO - Jamuary Day 5]]

Man holdup your so talented !!
and here i am the only thing i can play is a fucking jews harp
Awesome score !!
breath taking

Quarl responds:

Jews harp is pro, never doubt the hustle. You pull a jews harp out on the street of nyc to start busking, pull in a beat boxer, split the pocket change :p

I was at a monthly beatboxing event in NYC half a decade ago, they came across a "competitive whistler" on the street earlier in the day. They invited him to their stage and jammed for a good while, it was one of the cooler beat boxing events Ive been to. Just because something is niche doesn't mean it can't shine :3

[Dirty Needles [Jamuary Day 3]]

the arp is really catchy

Quarl responds:

I kept falling back on it yesterday while writing this. It's an old patch, from a song called Assembly Lines, 2016. Remastered that one in 2019...

[The Long Road Ahead [Jamuary Day 1]]

Oooh this slaps !!

Quarl responds:
