Denvish will get ahold of you if your loop(s) gets chosen. it'll take a while, so be patient.

Yeah. Its getting a bit long now, so anybody who has submitted 3 or more loops, please don't add any more. Thanks.

It'll be open until liljim or I say otherwise, I guess. I haven't spoken to James for a few days, I'm assuming he's frantically busy with one part of the site or another. Don't hold your breath waiting for this AP to change, but knowing liljim, when it does happen, it'll happen abruptly and with no notice ;)

I'm waiting on some kind of response from liljim on this. Once he and the other admins have decided which loops will be used, I'll post a list here, or email people, and they can send their wav loops to myself or liljim. For now, do nothing (well, you can email your wav to James if you want, but I'm guessing it would be fairly pointless currently).

Actually, what I'd really appreciate here is some feedback. If any of you feel like doing something, grab an artist with more than 2 loop submissions, and rate their submissions in descending order, based on one criteria: suitability for the AP front page
Any of the submitting artists can do it with their own loops, too.
It will help narrow down the choices. I don't suppose that any audio artist will have more than one loop used, so if we can pick their best track, it will save time in the selection process.
if you can spare the time to help with this, thanks.

K. Guess I'll go first then.
ShinDenjin
http://www.newground..436515&sub=27612 - Doesn't show much in the way of development (yeah, I know it's tricky in a 15s loop). I like the FF-style harp, but the loop needs to be harder-hitting, and have a more varied bassline. - 6/10
http://www.newground..436515&sub=27613 - Like it, but again, no real dynamic changes in the loop. - 7/10
http://www.newground..436515&sub=25579 - I like this it has a good beat, and a good hook line/riff - 9/10
http://www.newground..436515&sub=26842 - Like this too, it has substance too it, and a cool bassline. No real hook line, though - 6.5/10
http://www.newground..436515&sub=27279 - Good, but a little repetitive (within itself, not just as a loop) - 6/10
In conclusion, I think http://www.newground..436515&sub=25579 is ShinDenjin's best track. I can definitely imagine it on the AP front page.

I'm not going to review my own songs... I don't feel like it's fair, since I will have a biased opinion on my own songs. Also, I'm only going to review the loops of those with 3 or more loops.
Allen_Styles
http://www.newground..814022&sub=26603 - 6/10 because it feels strange, the drums are a bit too syncopated at parts to be something people would willingly bob their head to on the front page, and the lack of a real melody that people could catch onto hurts this for a contender on front page.
http://www.newground..814022&sub=26604 - 8/10 I love this one, and isn't it time for trance to be on the front page? However, lack of a progression could be the deciding factor against it... as it is though, it's pretty damn good.
http://www.newground..814022&sub=26605 - 7/10 This is damn smooth, groovin' shit right here. The drums are so smooth, and it makes everything flow very nicely. However I'm also listening to the songs for like 2 minutes to see if it will get too repetitive, and unfortunately this is already starting to get a little bit annoying after about a minute and a half. Lack of progression to keep it interesting, hard as it may be in a 10-15 second loop, is hurting.
http://www.newground..814022&sub=26606 - 7/10 Same thing as above.
http://www.newground..814022&sub=26607 - 7/10 Hmm, this one has a good evil dark feel to it, and the drums are cool too. However, like was said in the reviews, it can get repetitive after just a few listens.
I think that http://www.newground..814022&sub=26604 would be Allen_Styles best submission for the frontpage.
Chronamut
http://www.newground..638435&sub=26484 - 8/10 Has a VERY mystical nature about it, and it gives a very lighthearted feel to the loop. The melody is very sweet, however the only thing that kept me from giving this a 10/10 is that it might be too light for some of the AP visitors. I however think that if I heard this on the AP frontpage, I would be pleasantly surprised, 'twould be a good change from the dark, more heartpounding Paragon stuff.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=18983 - 8/10 Imagine opening the Audio Portal up and hearing celtic music... it sounds great to me! Great loop, and the melody is very cool.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=26482 - 9/10 That melody is really cool, very videogamish... but the thing that kills it is that the high frequency has so much gain that everything is a bit shrill. If that were corrected though, I reckon this could be a clear winner for AP frontpage status. Excellent, excellent melody, and the progression keeps it interesting throughout. Very nice.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=18986 - 7/10 It's good, but not as good as 26482
or 26484 for the front page.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=19184 - 6/10 Minor peaking with the tambourines, but the melody is very cool. You sure can write cool melodies. However, it's not as good as your other loops.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=27227 - 6/10 If I heard this on the frontpage, I would giggle for a bit, and be overjoyed at the thought of a carnival from a game like Chrono Trigger, but then I would start getting a little annoyed because it's short and repetitive after about a minute.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=26483 - 9/10 Haha, this would be a very cheerful adition to loops for the frontpage. This sounds exactly like a generator tune, lol. Anyway, very catchy and addicting, and I think it would work well.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=18984 - 7/10 Definitely not as good as your other keygenerator loop. The little R2D2 sounding beeps and boops give it a bit of humor, but the melody and bassline are not as catchy and sweet sounding.
http://www.newground..638435&sub=18982 - 8/10 A very cool sounding loop, hehe, the only thing is that it's soo loud it's peaking. The melody is very entrancing though, I'll give you that, damnit!
Either http://www.newground..638435&sub=26483 or http://www.newground..638435&sub=26482 are Chronamut's best submissions for AP frontpage, in my opinion.
Ok, I'm done reviewing for the moment, that took a while... phew

The only ones I want to review:
GoreBastard
http://www.newground..114941&sub=26339 - 9/10 - This is a very cool loop with good 'explosive' riffs. The looping effect is great and well structured. If there ever was anything to complain about, maybe it's a little noisy but not so noisy you can't hear the cool riffs! It's a brilliant loop and I hope it makes it to the AP Front Page.
speedmetalmessiah
http://www.newground..240994&sub=26457 - 9/10 - A very very clear loop. The riffs are intelligent and thrashy (NOT trashy). If there ever was anything to complain about, maybe it's a little out of time, but that's what makes the loop different and new compared to some other loops. This is a brilliant loop too and I hope this gets to the AP Front Page aswell.
This is all Iwant to do for the moment but maybe I'll do some more in a future post.

5/10 I think this loop is ruined by the bass sound playing randomly. It's gets quite annoying very quickly. The beats are good, but i think it needs a more chilled/structured bassline.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27682
7/10 It almost has a carribean carnival vibe to this loop. I like it, but think the droning kinda synthy sound that's in the background would get on my nerves after a while.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27683
8/10 I like this trk, this is a good solid loop, i love the bassline. It's catchy and videogamey, which is definately a good thing.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27684
9/10 Similar in style to the Fleets loop, with videogamish sounds. I think i prefer this loop as it is a bit simpler. Definately could hear this as frontpage loop.Good stuff.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27685
9/10 This is nice and chilled and works for me, i can imagine being soothed to this loop whilst browsing the audio frontpage, nice.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27686
7/10 I like the vibe of this loop, but i think the lead electro hat? sound is too high in the mix which makes it a bit intrusive.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27687
7/10 This one is not my taste.
I find it a little too nice and i also think the drums could do with being a little more prominent in the mix.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27752
9/10 A good catchy loop, that would be very suitable for the AP frontpage.
AdmiralConquistador - http://www.newground..607788&sub=27753
7/10 I like the sound of the piano, but it seems a little too busy with the delay fx on it. I think this loop is a little too fast and could do with being taken down a few bpm.
Allen_Styles - http://www.newground..814022&sub=26603
7/10 A nice bit of DnB that could do with some strings or some sort of background atmosphere to make it a little less monotonous.
Allen_Styles - http://www.newground..814022&sub=26604
8/10 A good Trance Loop that is well made and would be suitable, not my sort of thing though.
Allen_Styles - http://www.newground..814022&sub=26605
7.5/10 I actually really like the vibe of this loop, which has a retro computer game blip lead and a nice steady beat and bass, but I don't think it's particularly suitable for a frontpage loop.
Allen_Styles - http://www.newground..814022&sub=26606
7/10 A minor version of the loop above. In my opinion not as good as the 1st version.
Allen_Styles - http://www.newground..814022&sub=26607
8/10 A nice dark sounding loop that could again benefit from some sort of synth string, atmospheric backing or quirky melody.
Bjra - http://www.newground..193751&sub=26449
Error - this user doesn't have any audio uploads.
B0UNC3 - http://www.newground..084370&sub=27587
7/10 A bouncy and happy sounding loop that would sound better in my ears with a different lead instrument, as I find the sound used rather annoying. Shame cos it's catchy.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=26484
7/10 A nice soft sounding loop, but ultimately I dont like the sounds used.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=18983
7/10 An celtic-ish sounding loop that I think is way too busy for a frontpage loop.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=26482
6/10 Again quite a busy loop, sooo much treble that it was making my ears hurt. Needs to quieten down those hats.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=18986
7/10 A well recorded loop that doen't have a particularly catchy hook. Got quite annoying quickly, maybe too short a loop!?
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=19184
6/10 Quite a bland loop with nothing much too it, too short again?! and the tamborine sound too prominent for my ears.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=27227
7/10 This is a quirky loop and it has potential, but it gets quite irritating after a while.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=26483
9/10 This is a great retro video game style loop, that is catchy and very suitable.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=18984
7/10 the lead synth sound is way to high in the mix, it's a quirky loop but quite intrusive and needs to be balanced better.
Chronamut - http://www.newground..638435&sub=18982
7/10 A very busy but catchy sounding long loop, that is a bit distracting and overpowering, just too much goin on.
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=15944
6/10 An ok sounding video game style loop, that seems a little muffled.
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=15943
7/10 A nicely played Chilled guitar loop with an almost old victorian vibe. Again a bit muffled.
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=15945
7/10 A heavyish electric guitar loop that again is muffled, have u reduced the bitrate on these quite drastically?
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=27151
8/10 A quite busy electro/acoustic loop that I like, nice to hear some non-techno, non-computerised loops.
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=27152
9/10 Great fingerpicking loop that i enjoyed listening to, could be suitable as it doesn't seem to get tiresome.
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=15946
7/10 Another quite muffled loop, catchy, but a little muddy sounding and should maybe be just the guitar and bass?
Denvish - http://www.newground..505855&sub=26318
7/10 It's nice, but it just doesn't seem right to me for use as an AP frontpage loop.

Erkie - http://www.newground..916330&sub=26312
7/10 An experimental and interesting loop that is a bit too much for an AP loop in my ears. There's no real distinguishable hook. An addition of a simple melody might help. I'd like to hear this developed into a full trk tho.
GoreBastard - http://www.newground..114941&sub=26339
8/10 A good Heavy riff with great guitaring which would appeal to some people, but not to others. Personally i like it, but i think it's perhaps too much for the frontpage.
jobelow - http://www.newground..208460&sub=26454
7/10 A punky loop thats nice and simple but a little loose timing wise in places which is made all the more prominent by the fact it's a loop.
JonH2O - http://www.newground..109063&sub=25978
7/10 A nice loop that seems quite long. I find some of the sounds used are a little 'abrasive' and I would have preffered some more chilled out sounds in their place.
ljcoffee - http://www.newground..016893&sub=26766
8/10 I gave this a lower score when i reviewed it before due to my specific tastes, this would be suitable for the AP as I dont think it could offend anyone. A nice loop.
Pavo-Miskic - http://e.1asphost.co..h%20Moves%20Loop.wav
7/10 A nice chilled house style loop that I think is a little too basic and could do with some melody.
That's all for now, I'm spent!
I will finish off my reviews later on today when my brain has recovered:)

PiePie - http://www.newground..923747&sub=26225
5/10 Military style hard drumming is not really what I think should be on the AP frontpage. It's too aggressive sounding and incredibly distracting.
PiePie - http://www.newground..923747&sub=27393
7/10 A good simple videogamish sounding loop, that is only spoilt for me by the droning synth sound thats low in the mix. It makes it sound kinda menacing, but is a bit too dischordant for my liking, perhaps lose that synth and add some simple drums to this loop to make it kick along nicely.
PiePie - http://www.newground..923747&sub=27394
7/10 ....the same as with the first installment of these loops I find this a little dischordant in places.
The delayed hit for drums sounds good and the squelchy low bass sound is nice. I think u could go on to develop this into a longer loop/track, elaborating on the bass and changing up the notes of the lead instrument.

8/10 What with the name Irish Loop I was expecting a sort of Irish folk loop, instead it's quite a big-beat affair with a nice catchy hook to it. I'm not too keen on the sounds used and i'm not really sure how Irish this sounds, but it certainly is catchy.
A good solid loop, that sounds like it was meant for a SNES game menu music in my ears.
Rucklo - http://www.newground..011294&sub=25904
9/10 A good electro/industrial loop with some nice simple hooks, a little busy, but doesn't become too intrusive thnx to the bleeps that seperate the loop.
RyeGuyHead - http://www.newground..630271&sub=20442
7/10 An Elelectro-Ska loop!! I am not a fan of the orchestra Hit sound at all and that's waht ruined the loop for me, also the lead instrument was a little high. It's definately catchy, but the instruments used need to be changed in my opinion.
ShinDenjin - http://www.newground..436515&sub=27612
8/10 A squelchy bass sound and simple hissy drums work quite well with the underwater melody sound in this loop, but i find it a bit sparse.
ShinDenjin - http://www.newground..436515&sub=27613
5/10 I dont like the synthy trumpet sound which clashes dischordantly with the rest of the trk, sounds like not much thought went into this.
ShinDenjin - http://www.newground..436515&sub=25579
8/10 Nice chunky sounding loop, that I find a bit too busy sounding due to distortion/flanger on the drums. Needs some seperation in the overall mix.
ShinDenjin - http://www.newground..436515&sub=26842
7.5/10 A quite chilled sounding loop with a sampled bass guitar riff and simple piano chords that work quite well, but I think it's a little too dischordant. Maybe a different bassline would be better.
ShinDenjin - http://www.newground..436515&sub=27279
8/10 A kinda glitchy and fast high hat beat with a very simple bass/hook. It works, but does get a little irritating due to the harshness of the hats.
speedmetalmessiah - http://www.newground..240994&sub=26457
7.5/10 Good guitaring that would have definately benefitted from a more structured and constant drum loop. It does get a little annoying quite quickly.
Sticktorture_United - http://www.newground..813980&sub=27503
6/10 I don't really see this as a loop that would work on the AP frontpage, it could be an intro to a full-trk, not bad guitaring, but as a loop it's quite irritating and a little sparse.
Ted_Johnston - http://www.newground..181118&sub=27501
8.5/10 This loop definately has potential as I think it caters for the masses really well. It's simple and effective, but maybe the lead sound is too high and could do with being lowered in the mix.
TenchuX - http://www.newground..254123&sub=26859
6/10 It's just too harsh. It's a cool sound, but i think it's impractical as a loop for the frontpage.
TenchuX - http://www.newground..254123&sub=26858
8.5/10 Now I think this is much better. Nice an cartoony video game feel to this loop, it's uplifting and would work nicely.
The9thSoulessDragon - http://www.newground..468102&sub=22360
7/10 I quite like it, but the minor nature of the chords and the clashing nature of certain sections doesn't work for me. Perhaps piano wasn't the right choice for the lead instrument sound.
Theblackhawk - http://www.newground..189340&sub=27081
7/10 A fast paced techy loop that is pretty cool, but there's no real hook to it apart from the bassline which quickly gets on my nerves.
Theblackhawk - http://www.newground..189340&sub=26831
7/10 Another fast paced loop which is ok, but i find the sounds used are a bit harsh and need to be of a more calm nature so to not intrude so much. It's quite distracting.
Theblackhawk - http://www.newground..189340&sub=27513
8/10 In my opinion definately the best loop of the 3. A Trance loop that is simple, with the break at the end which works nicely to lead it back into the loop.
There we go. Mission Accomplished:)

Denvish if you have room for one more loop then I've made one. If you feel there is too much already then don't worry about it.
I apologise if I have pressured you.

Just had a listen. In my opinion it's definately better than your other loop it's well played and catchier, but maybe u could put a simple/subtle solo over the top of it as well to give it more of a hook? I would say 8/10.

ok... *cracks knuckles* here we go! These reviews reflect mine and my brothers views on the songs. We can be brutal - so leave your egos at the door please.
<gooch
gooch - Fast Loop 1: - too simplistic - and long - in my opinion. Sounds very much like basic fl sounds - but I also have to take into account gooch only has 18 sounds - and as I can relate - he still has a lot of improving to do. Sadly this song became annoying to me halfway thru the second time. overall 5/10.
AdmiralConquistador
D.S.T.C. Loop(16 secs) - kudos to putting time duration - something I lacked. Very upbeat tune! Might be a tad long tho - I also am not sure if I could listen to it over and over - it was a very funky beat tho - overall 8/10.
Fleets loop (12sec) - VERY smooth! This just flows so nicely - I could DEFINITELY see this on the audio front page - and listen to it over and over - im very much impressed! Sorry but I have to go OMFG! for someone to get a 10 - this was almost omfg. overall 9/10.
El Amor Si Muere loop (13secs) - eh. I'll admit its a very well constructed song - I'm just not feeling it - so I guess this one just collides with personal tastes. overall 7/10.
Ion Storm Remix loop (12secs) - very much too intro for front page - you always expect the beat to come in and it never does - I think if he had looped the part that came after this it would have been better. This loop leaves too much to be desired. This song however if looped differently has much potential. overall 7/10.
Power Cookies loop (16secs) - needs a different beat synth - that synth just annoyed me. Not a very suitable beat in my opinion. overall 5/10.
Strange Love loop (12secs) - with a little more delay and reverb I think this would be a good contender for frontpage - as it stands however it still lacks something. overall 7/10.
Implications loop (13secs) - euh - don't get me wrong - I LIKE this song - its just that I couldnt listen to the loop over and over. It doesnt have repetition appeal - a good song overall tho! overall 8/10.
Ellipses Loop (15secs) - sweet song - I could see this on the front page. overall 9/10.
overall: fleet's loop and ellipses loop - definitely. The rest need more work.
Allen_Styles
Acid DnB' short - there is no hook in this loop - as a result it is a tad boring to listen to. overall 4/10.
Ultimation short - WOULD have been a great contender if it hadn't been so repetetive. A bit of changing about some notes would have made this song an 8.5. overall 7.5.
Lectro Rhythm #1 short - don't like the bass - and overall don't like the song - clash of personal preference is all. overall 6/10.
Lectro Rhythm #2 short - better than the first one - pretty catchy - overall 8/10.
3Zm Attack short - um, ok? Not my thing - seems to need mroe work. overall 4/10.
overall Lectro Rhythm #2 seems the best.
Bjra - all of Bjra's songs have been removed from newgrounds - sorry dude I guess you got your wish!
B0UNC3
B0UNC3 -Banshee [AP Loop] - I could see this on frontpage tho - however - repeated listening to it WILL drive me insane. overall 8.5/10 -some advice B0UNC3 - make a short loopable from paradise on E - you won't go wrong with that one, trust me!
Chronamut
ok this guy SUCKS! Lol j/k. I just wanted to add a few things here. A ew of you commented on my beetlejuice song being too loud
also go listen to:
#15 *+*+xxxxdasfsfd-remastered+*+* - and tell me if i took a loop from that would it be better?
#30 +*+*transformers*+*+ - It loops 3 times but I can easily make it loop once and I can assume you its very addictive lol.
#44 *+*+Lagoon: Broken Voloh+*+* - this was a very popular song - very mellow but could be very addicting.
As for my carnival loop - I actually submitted that by accident - ignore it lol.
And lastly check out #68 *+*+Zeal Remix+*+* - notely for the repetitive crystal arpeggio which is VERY addicting. Consider these MAYBE loops.
Denvish
7 Kisses Loop 2 (15s) - ok I'd love to know how you submitted a wav file - are they allowing that again?Like Kingbastard said - a tad muffled - not very addictive tho either
sadly. overall 8.2/10.
7 Kisses Loop 1 (15s) - Sadly this is a kewl guitar bit - but I don't find it suitable for the audio front page. oberall 7.9/10.
7 Kisses Loop 3 (12s) - if it wasnt so muffled - I'd say "sure!" as it is tho if i listen with headphones the muffledness ruins it. overall 8.1/10.
3rd String 1st Fret Loop (16s) - hehehe calm and hip - loops seamlessly - even on newgrounds. Unfortunately I dont know how to gauge the general public's reaction to this tho. Still this is definitely a contender for front page. Its very addictive as well. overall 9/10.
Goodbye - Loop (16s) - sadly I dont think the general public would react too strongly to this one. Kewl loop but not front page material in my opinion. overall 7/10.
7 Kisses Loop 5 (10s) - VERY not my thing - I am not gonna even judge this one. overall N/A.
Spook Loop (14s) - possible contender - I dunno I'll let the others decide on this one. overall 8.8/10.
overall 3rd String 1st Fret Loop and maybe Spook loop.
Erkie
Hustle (Incomplete) - very much a Kingbastard sounding song - its very well done - but as I told B0UNC3 - I cant listen to this over and over without going insane - heck I can barely listen to it once without going insane. You're music is a tad too avante-garde for me erkie. overall 9.1/10 but I still dont consider it suitable for front page sadly.
GoreBastard
GoreBastard Loop2 (12 seconds) - sweet - rock on man - I could see this on front page. And it loops - whatre the odds. Lol. overall 9/10.
jobelow
Eat My Pee Pee - really in my mind - too generic and too - every other band I've ever heard sound. overall 4/10.
jon H20
[Loop] - Overland Defeat?!?!!? - for some retarded reason I actually LIKE it - but how LONG is it?! It seems a tad long - but if it isn't - heck I'd listen to it over and over. overall 9/10.
and that's it for now - I dotn have enuff characters remaining to start on kingbastard at this time - adn I'm tired of reviewing lol.

This may have nothing to do with the loops...but has anyone else noticed that the music on the ap main page is at like max overload volume. I was listening to real playerat 100 percent volume and the song that was playing just got drowned out by the paragonx9's little loop. Its annoying....there
just you wait

mwahahaha
As soon as the downloads start up again I'll um.. work more than 20 minutes on my music loops and stuff. I'll also need to buy my magic stuff that makes my head work. So beware or, be aware.

ALLRIGHT!
I took all your votings to heart and make some new loops and improved some others - while discarding the ones you didn't like.
Here is the new roster:
1) DJ Sammy Short
2) Voloh Short
3) Sonic Techno Short
4) Sonic Radical Short
5) Beetlejuice Short 2
6) 7th saga short
7) keygen short
8) composition 5 short
9) Work with magic short #2
the same amount as last time - but some different songs. Please disregard all my other shorts but these ones. I really like these ones and i have high hopes for them!

I'm currently busy working on a new Flash game (based on the one I posted in the AF Lounge), so I'll catch up with this stuff in the next few days. Thanks to everybody who has been rating the submitted loops, I'll be compiling a list of your scores/attempting to cut out some of the dead wood from the list when I can spare a little more time. The task is a bit daunting, since it's going to take a few hours to assimilate the data </borg>

Question - are the new loops to demonstrate diversity of sound, or the possible energy?

I think that http://www.newground..814022&sub=26604 would be Allen_Styles best submission for the frontpage.
Damn mate, that means alot. hey i'm happy with an 8/10. But yea, those loops are my old material. I got like a whole library of loops and beats i never really got around to finishing and i have 3 songs im working on now: Merlin, Ravetronic, House Rhythm. I think these will work better than my other loops....i gotta finish and short them though...
BTW, the genre for each one is proggresive trance, rave, and house. respectively.
