I respond to all reviews.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've requested reviews.

It's a longish one so hang in there!

Really looking forward to some criticism (constructive of course) on this.

Thanks!


Hey, I do audio. Check it out!

ehm guys.. you know i respect you and all for sticking with me but when will my music be reviewed..if ever?

Its been literally two weeks now and the first of the three hasnt even been reviewed yet...
I really dont want to sound either impatiant or rude but im a bit worried that maybe you guys dont want to review anymore seeing as i read a few posts in here saying that some dont want to do audio reviews anymore due to techno / trance / rap music etc all sounding the same?

I thought some of you guys liked my music (wich is mostly classical or retro mind you) since i got great scores and great reviews so what happened?

I have a life.

I workout.

I have college.

I have jobs.

I go to concerts.

I do homework.

I teach students.

I design games.

I make movies.

I hang out with friends.

I make art.

I have a girlfriend.

Etc...

I only review in my free time and you will enjoy when I do happen to review your work if I ever do because I'm so busy. AUDIO is annoying to review when you have so it's extremely hard to review all of them.

Ha, seriously though we are all busy, most of us are older and have jobs and/or university along with very busy lives. Sometimes you'll get your reviews and sometimes you won't.

My post was actually aimed at the people who have been previously reviewing my work not at new reviewers, besides i have a life too so you dont have to be so uppity.

You'll have to forgive the fact we get kinda tetchy when people seemingly criticise the thing we do that's 100% voluntary.

You have to understand, the lists we get generally tend to be GIANT, especially in the audio section.
We have a few people who generally manage to review everything, and so you may get reviews from them. But as Fro says; we have lives, just like you and everybody. You could get six reviews, you could get two. But that's six more/two more than you would have had. And we put a lot of thought into these things, because we wanna help you out; that's what this is about.

So...yeah. I understand the frustration, but there's nothing to worry about; it's not that we suddenly hate your stuff, it's not anything like that. It's just that there's 20something other audio to review and still 5 days to do it. Some people will 100%, so you will get some reviews. Just bear with us, alright? (:

New reviewers? I've been a member of this club since the old one (before this thread) and I've been here for longer than half of the members. I wasn't being "uppity."

I just know that people tend to forget that we aren't machines who live strictly for reviewing and we do this to give back to the community in our free time. This summer I'm going to go back to my 100% since my classes will be online and I'll need the break every half hour or so, but as of now I don't even want to touch one review from this club.

I especially need a break once all of the audio sounds the same week after week and I'm running out of things to say.

Like I said, it's the risk you get posting in here. You might get 0 reviews and you could get anywhere up to 5 or 6 reviews. It just depends on how many other submissions were requested in a week and how busy the members are.

Why don't you join and try keeping 100% for about a year like I did then you will see how 25 audio submissions a week can get tiresome. :P

Response to Review Request Club 2010-04-20 09:59:28


Yeah Calamaistr, basically what everyone else said. You're one of the main requesters of the club, and while we definitely don't want to say 'hey, stop requesting, you're requesting too much', I'd expect you to be a bit more patient after we've reviewed so many of your submissions (I'm not speaking for myself, I haven't reviewed any of your submissions, but a good number of members, especially Haggard and Coop, have reviewed quite a few of your submissions).

Yes, we do enjoy your tracks (I must say, I've listened to some of your piano pieces and I was very impressed) and I think I'm speaking for everyone when saying that we like reviewing them, especially since they're never like the usual generic trance/dance songs that engulf our requests list, but we review without any payment whatsoever, and the fact that audio is so prominent among our requests makes us forced to cut audio down a little. We'll get to reviewing your work eventually, but for now, be patient please :).

I'd like to join the club! 1) cause I'd be happy to review stuff for people and 2) cause I really need this reviewed here haha

Specifically, what am I missing if I want this to be trance?

Hey man you don't necessarily need to join the club to request submissions lol :P.

But if you still want to join, I had a look through your reviews. Unfortunately, most are one-liners. The one on this submission was fine, but the majority of your audio reviews are one or two-liners, and we never write reviews so short in this club. If you need some examples of good audio reviews, check out RogerBK's, Animith's, Coop83's, Fro's, Haggard's, Joshsouza's, ChampionAnwar's or Celx-Requin's.

Basically, if you're ever going to write reviews for the club, then try and make your reviews long and helpful. Anyway, if you need any help with how to join (if the first post isn't clear enough) then just ask :).

We'll get to work on reviewing it in around 1 week and a half or so.

Yay! I am a good example for once! Well time to start reviewing again I guess but I have to write more to get the post to publish!

Hi guys I'd like to join this weekend! I'm another audio guy I'm afraid but I'll go easy on you. I don't crank 'em out all the time and I won't ask for everything to be reviewed. Is there a problem if I can't finish the whole list every week? I'm not sure I'd find time to review everything and I don't know anything about art. I can do audio though!

No. You just review as many requests as you want. :)

Aww man, does that only mean Animith and I (or maybe even me only if Animith doesn't make it) will be finishing all the reviews? :(

Come on, we need some more 100%ers ^^.

Ouch, that's a scary prospect.
I'll get 100% this week; planning to start reviews today so I'll have less to do on Sunday.
So then if I do them all and you do them all, then at least every request will get two reviews. And your reviews count for about six, so all is well. ;D

Plupt!! I don't know if I will do it, but probrably not, since the bimestral test week is coming, and it'll start on Friday, so, I gotta study a lot!!

For people that don't know what is this test week: it's a whole week where the teacher give us a test with the whole bimester subject... (AWWWWW) OBS: it's worth 100 pts, so, it's a grade saver to us...

But, anyways, I have Saturday night to review, I'll do my best guys!!

Hey man, it's great to finish all the reviews, but don't force yourself to finish reviews and end up doing badly at school or something. School is more important (as unbelievable as it may sound xD) especially now that you're showered with tests, so if you don't manage all of the reviews, don't worry about it.

If you have some free time, then sure, it'd be awesome if you try and finish as many reviews as possible, but if you have a test (or worse, a whole week of tests) and have to choose between studying and writing reviews, don't make reviews a priority :).

Good luck with the tests and with the reviews too anyway ^^.

This is why it's taking you so long to get reviews. We only put 1 review up every week for people who request audio because people request so many at a time. ;)

Oh btw, you guys do read the responses you get for your reviews right? Just asking. (so i wont have to elaborate :þ )

Yeah, I read all of the responses. Believe it or not, your responses are just as helpful to me as my reviews might be to you. (Or probably more in my case)

I've learned everything I know about audio, which isn't a lot, by other people's reviews and responses to my reviews. Their very important to us for that reason. And the fact that we enjoy the +1 stat as well. :P

I can say that I've read every single response that I've ever gotten for an audio, flash, or art review. (all 1,252 of them to date)
