Carf's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Edge of Faith]

FunkyFresh!

Sorry but that word just completely fitted your new upload :).
Major impressive job again, sadly I havent put my fingers on Mirrors Edge yet (altrough I am fully aware if its existence) so I cannot judge the music but that it fits with what I have seen from the game, it should work out ;p. They rather dont know that you fixed this otherwise they have to recall the game worldwide to get this track in ;p.

Anyways, on topic. A few suprizes which you implanted in this one. You know what I mean and yes we keep it our secret but you should be proud, it worked out great AND you should do that more often, its a great added value to the overal tone of the song.
As usual, cristal clear guitars, nice strings (which is my fave vsti by now ;p) and for sure just the typical NT sound.

Keep up the creativity but heej, if you don't it just gives me a reason to haunt and stalk you again until you get back on track!

Till I finished fallout... then I will be back with FRESH creativity ;).

A creative huggle!

NemesisTheory responds:

Hi carfie!

Yeah, the game's music is really good but I've said that a lot now. XD And haha, it'd be pretty funny if they caught wind of this remix =P

Anyway, I'll think about doing our secret some more in future projects like this, we'll see :P.

don't worry, I'm not done by a longshot :P
you WILL hear more from me ahahah

And yes... I still have to finish fallout as well. :(

hugs and thanks for the review! :)

[Airprogressive - That Sequence]

Well...

...the intro is nice and chill so that is a good start. the groove of the track is nice and flowing. I didnt get a real kick out of the leadtones but what I do like is the twirling sound on the back and a nice fade in, it gives it a nice UK progressive style after that. Could be worked out a bit more (longer) and try to keep it intresting ;).

Welcome to the audioPortal on NG btw :).

Airprogressive responds:

thanks Carf! I'll try to improve the main melody of this track with some mixes

[{dj-N} Treat the Oscillators]

an instand classic my friend

very cool lines and defently a classic. I am afraid I have to do my best not to overjudge you in the upcomming contest ;p.
Keep up the major good work dude.

Edit: 14 years later, and it still rocks!

dj-Nate responds:

I trust you'll vote for the right person.. *shifty eyes*

YES, THAT'S A THREAT!

Heh

<3

[Your World]

o.0 lets say... almost-core

the bass is kicking, and it could sound okay but there is one or another really weird filter that pulls all your sound back to a certain level that its not even clear anymore what happends... I seriously wonder if you are aware of the crappy sound which this ends up... I know a LOT about hardcore so you dont have to explain me any point of view.. I would say... check youtube for angerfist and dj promo... cause on this way you will not sell anything... but that is just my point of view...

H3R3T3K responds:

haha,, promo is messy at the best of times and angerfist is a tad commercial these days..
the filter you would be referring to affecting all the sounds,, i use a filter on a channel,,
do you mean a compressor?? i think i used one on the master channel ,, or could it be that you may kno some commercial hardcore,, but nothing of production ??

ok,, guy before that house?? where do you come from ??
dnb ,, oh,,, is that because I used the amen break ??
I suggest you read up on the definition of monotone before using words out of context as I find monotone to be an offensive description =p

the first guy ,, thanks bro,, yea it needs to be cleaned up,, mastered
do you think that the synth is distorted or that some of the layers may come through a little too much toward the end??

one of the layers im using is a junoX2 VST which i think may come through too strong toward in the final melody variation ..

[Tripp {demo}]

eeerw... demo?

okay... demotime... my only issue is...I dont hear any demostration.
Only a very simple loopline which not really feels finished yet.
Maybe a few more hours before you upload it next time?

1zin1 responds:

uh how about no asshole =D
also, i will upload what ever i god
damn will please, and name it what i want.

[Sweet Dreams(RequiemForADream)]

sweet requim of dreams

altrough I am a trance/techno producer myself I just love to rock from time to time and will always respect the people who are doing that kinda music. your track sounds very good, there is a lot of emotion between the lines and it defenetly gives me the chills ;0 keep up the good work.

HappyHomicide responds:

Dude thanks! I love techno/trance, much respect for all the little things you put into your music!

[T2: The Arcade Game (genesis)]

Oldschool!

Damn I seriously loved this game, especially the arcade version.
An extra star just for the idea of making this track.
wasnt this the second stage btw?
Good job dude.

Lighty158 responds:

Actually, I believe it was from the T-1000 fight. If not, it's easy to spot in the sound test of the game. Thanks, btw. This was always my favorite track from the game. No school, like the old school!

[.-=Approaching Storm=-. -]

Intresting

intresting build up, was not really clear what kinda style the music would become. like the idea how you tried to combine strings with trance, its not the most standard combination altrough I love to play with it aswell.
Keep up the creativity.

Geoplex responds:

Ok, thanx :)
I like using trance and strings togther, because to me they seem like a very well-working combination. I dunno...
Anyway, thanx for the reveiw :D

[\\\TAC - [Light] - Fly Away///]

good job!

Smootly, great for the aura collab.

Nintechno responds:

Thanks man.

[Burning Summer]

Dieren... boerderij...

Or animalfarm... I think its the most uncommon name I have ever seen on NG ;p.
What does the song got in common with a kinderboerderij. Anyways it proves that you got a silly way of humor and I like to see that in creativity. The track itself is just an okay trance stylish track. I am not boomed or blown away by it, but it sounds stable, usable and created by someone who knows how the software works.
Keep up the good work.

Je bent niet de enige nederlander hier ;p maar wel de eerste die ik zie met een nederlandse tracknaam ;p

Kr1z responds:

hihi de naam was slechts tijdelijk, thx for the review
