Qshunt's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Positive Memories]

Nice work!
I have no constructive criticism to offer you!

Quarl responds:

Thanks Mr. Shunt. It's refreshing to hear that every once in a while.

[Runa - Paladin]

This is wicked fight-scene music.
Production is on-point.
The only thing that sticks out to me (and it doesn't stick out very much at all) is that at the start of the breakdown, where the leads, plucks and pads appear to be sidechained to the kick, the release time on the compressor seems long, meaning the subsequent fading-in of the synth parts are a bit quiet, when they should be right at the front and in your face!
Still gave you 5 stars, as my statement might be completely a taste thing.

[Genesis (How it Began LP)]

You should submit this to Viper Recordings, Matrix and Futurebounds' label.

[Black Pantera]

Nice work!

[The Best We Could]

Nice bit of Breakcore!

I like that hard hitting snare.
This has a Cooh or Current Value type of vibe which I dig.
I like that bass synth.
In the mix it sounds like someone playing a bass guitar and suits the track nicely.
The mixdown is excellent. It's nice and clean, maybe a little too clean for my tastes.
Something I often do to give the high end a bit of sizzle, is to add a saturator to my mastering chain.

I have it distorting at around 1kHz in an "Analog Clip" setting. It wants to be a warm fuzz, not a harsh scratch. Then I adjust wet/dry to taste.
This saturation also has the added benefit of allowing you to push your limiter a bit harder and inadvertently get some free loudness in the mix.
Anyway, really nice track!

Quarl responds:

I've never been told my mix was too clean. I suppose I should stop focusing on that.

[Anamnesis (How it Began LP)]

Very nice track! Love the Viper Recordings flavour. Production quality is top notch.
5/5
Please check out the track I just uploaded.

[Crystalis]

[Paper Skies & Aaron Shirk & Ehallz - Please Say Goodbye (Ft. Brooklyn Barry)]

I have no constructive criticism to offer.

Production is on point. Sounds professional as hell.

5/5 Following,

PaperSkies responds:

Thanks a lot QShunt <3

[my trash collection (2018-2020)]

Nice assortment of ideas there!They're all good.

I just downloaded this, and will see if i can master it for you. Your mixdowns are all generally pretty good so there isn't really much to do imo, 13:38 is fucking excellent.

I'll send you the mp3 via dropbox in a couple of hours.

If you wouldn't mind checking out some of my other tracks and possibly leaving some feedback, it would be very much appreciated.
I'm going to go through your catalogue in a little while.

Nice work.

feandesign responds:

Thank you a lot dude!! I'll be sure to check out your other creations as well as the remaster.

[Patron Saint of Heists]

Funky as f**k.
Production is on point, composition is great.
I don't have any constructive criticism to offer.
5/5
