I thought I mentioned it already: I was away in Singapore, so I couldn't do any reviews. ;)

Okay, I think the only way to get better is to get feedback, so here is my latest song.
Thanks for taking the time to review!

Nice job. There may not have been many requests this week, but it's still an achievement deserving of praise.
I, on the other hand, managed to get 0% completion.

This is something I helped EJR with and I'd love to see it get viewed and reviewed since we put a decent amount of effort into it. Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if you'd give this a listen.
Hey guys, review my song please?
Hey guys, any resources for reviewers who want to review audio submissions but don't know jack about music? I feel like I'd be doing a huge disservice to the artists at this point if I tried. Sorry if this post is off topic, I would've just PM'd but I thought your responses might be helpful to others, or maybe ultimately result in something like "fro's guides for audio reviewing". Thanks for your help.

Well, I don't know jack about audio either, but my recent reviews are, although certainly not the best in this club, okay IMO.
For audio I usually divide the music in different parts, and tell the author what was good and bad about each of the parts. Did it sound nice, were there any special effects, or was the calmness of the song what made it really good. Or bad of course.
You don't have to write about specific instruments/samples if you don't want to, but you can try to pick one or two things out of the song you thought were good, and one or two that can use improvement. I don't know whay most terms mean either. I wouldn't even know how FL studio looks like.

Also, I'm a bit disappointed I got no reviews done this week. Lots of work and addicting medal games made me forget about it. I actually have two half-finished reviews done in word, which I finished too late. Meh.

Hey could you review my song? I want to know if there's anything I can do to make it better.
I have a few others, but this one is the one I'm trying to focus on, since it's what I'm basing the rest of my OST off of.
Thanks!
Hi. I was wanting to get more feedback on this song. I put a lot of dedication into it, and was sorta looking for if this should be the style of music I should go for.

Personally, when I review audio, I go for the good, the bad, and the possible.
Like, if there is something you like - say so. If there's something you don't like - also say so. Going into as much detail as you can about what you mean is always good. You don't necessarily need to know much about music - you just need to know how to isolate elements that you can talk about. Like, if you don't like the drumbeat of the song, say what part of the drumbeat you don't like, where it is, why you don't like it, etc. If you can give even an idea on how to improve it (if you were making it), that's good. Though, if you don't know what you'd do, that's alright too - nobody can or should ask you to do more than what you can do.
Condensed:
-Be as specific as possible about what you like/don't like (time it appears, what it is, etc.).
-Be as detailed as possible.
-Give some ideas on how to improve it if you can.
-Have a good amount of "stuff" to the review. One sentence isn't enough. Two paragraphs probably would be.
Even though I'm not in the club currently, I remember how to do it. :P
Now, the main reason I was coming here - got the song that could use some reviews. (wojessee, maybe you could practice on it? ;3)
Stuff.

Haggard was away in Singapore so thanks for letting us know, hopefully you can get in at least one review this week though to avoid falling off the list altogether.
Yes, I want to get back into reviewing this week end. Let's see how this turns out...

Hey hey, worked on this chiptune for most of today, it would be awesome if you guys could give me some feedback on it. Thanks!
Hey there!
Unfortunately the last time I requested I didn't get a single review in about 3 weeks, but hey you guys are no robots so I'm trying again! :)
I'm currently working on a new dubstep track and I belive it's my best so far.
Every review will be responded and if you got some audio in your profile I will review back.
Cheers
Thanks to all the folks who responded to my post re: audio reviewing for the musically ignorant. When I become a god amongst reviewers, I'll remember y'all. Or a zombie apocalypse. I'll remember y'all then, too. 8P

I'd love for someone to review my demo reel,
Thanks in advance.
Only a demo/preview, but still would love to have it reviewed :)
I would like to request some reviews for this particular piece of art.

You commie! I go above and beyond to review submissions! Now lets- oh wait I need to be a member there....Hhhhhmm....
LOOPHOLE!
Twas a funky mash-up, your transitions between mashed tracks is very hit and miss. On occasion it's smooth but alot of the time it feels unnatural. It's pretty good but repetitive rhythms dull the experience. It's good for parties however.

Can I please be a part of your totally helpful club? I would like to be of good use to society in general.

So... does that mean I am in? :)

OK. If you look at some of my older reviews, they are pretty good. I'll start doing more like those.
Hay guys!
Been a while since I was on newgrounds, but i came back. Hello!
Now that I am back I have caught up on my outstanding review responces for this club - I said I would before I requested anything again. Having done that, here is my new pic...
It is different to what I have requested before, more styalised then just a regular sceane. Someone has already suggested that I try for a series - If I can replicate the style (the first design was done quite a while ago but I just couldn't think how to finish it, untill now) I might just do that.
Thanks in advance. :)

I dropped the ball there - I should have made more ground with those reviews, but got consumed with various other things to work on over last week. Let's see if I can outdo last week... Well, I've managed 5 reviews so far, so it might be better.

Well, the art reviews are done, I'm halfway through the flash and then on to the audio to finish the week. Let's give it a shot and see if I can't get back to 50% before the birthday!
Thanks for the update.
