It sucks doesn't it? The audio portal is like an attention deprived step child.

In general, they have no idea what they're talking about. Sad but true.

As the majority of newgrounds does.

Newgrounds reviews are just ego boosters IMO.

I've received a few helpful pointers from newgrounds.

A few.

I could not agree more. I've tried so many ways to learn something from Newgrounds, but the learning process here has always been slower than any other audio community. Especially with threads about people complaining that they get no comments on their music clogging up the audio forum.

[Back-From-Purgatory]

Welcome to the club... I've been here for 5 years and I still have to go out of my way to get even 1 review on my stuff.

[wyldfyre1]

Unfortunatly alot of people would rather vote (and mostly zero bomb) then review. You'll get some people who will review fairly from time to time. Sometimes as envy said it is a ego boost other times there are those who review to actually help out the artist and give helpful tips =).

Send PMS to people online in the forums, go down to the bottom and open bout 30 new tabs and then send them the same message, about 5-10 will review your songs. Most people that review your songs will review them again if you ask em to, so add those people to your contacts list. Also dont forget to do all the tricks of the trade, like putting your song in your signature and tell people to review your song when you review theres. The more activity in forums the better.

Or you could try not being annoying. If I get a PM from somebody saying PLZ REVIEW ME KTHX, I won't do it, on principle.

If, instead, I get someone commenting on my music and asking for pointers because they're producing similar music, or value my opinion (for some misguided reason) I'm more likely to respond kindly.

Reasoned requests beat spam.

[Box-Killa]

But how many people on newgrounds would do that lol???

[Music-story]

Hah,

I always like these kinds of forum topics. If you don't want reviews than do exactly what a lot of other ppl do which is don't review anyone else's song. If you seriously expect to get a ton of reviews without even reviewing other peoples' stuff, your not going to get any. Box is right about how to get reviews despite how annoying it may seem to some...there are people out on NG world that actually are willing to review your stuff if you just ask via pm, forum, or some other communication method. For me I only take PM request and review requests within a review of my songs. If anyone wants one than just ask me and also ask others. Asking goes a long way!

Bye for now

[Alchemist94]

I would say review other peoples songs and they will review some of yours back, but that rarely happens anymore. To be quite honest, the only decent reason for uploading to the audio portal would be to have your music put in a flash. If you're here to learn, you've come to the wrong place.

Ha ha, i've uploaded music from newgrounds ever since i've started making music. and i've improved a lot. there are some people who gives decent reviews, you just gotta find them.

There are many ways to get exposure. Among those which were mentioned in the thread (Audio ads thread, Review Request Club, Reviewing other people), you can also make blog posts to advertise your music, compete in the Monthly Audio Contests (winners get front page spots), look at the NG musician front page list and check out the Underdog list. It's also a good idea to watch this forum because animators and programmers often come here looking for music, and it gives you an opportunity to be featured in different projects.

Giving you this link might seem redundant now, but then again, the link is what makes this entire topic redundant. This thread is just another one to add to the pile. In the future, please use the searchbar before making a new topic.
