A little bit longer...
And it would have been great. Oh, and disregard the idiot two entries below me. This is NOT techno barf.
Reviews for "Faded Melody"
Oooookay.
Newgrounds has gone crazy.
Im sorry to say, but the mastering was horrible, it sounded like cheap rip off 1970's happy-hardcore techno and it made me barf that you actually ask people to buy this.
Sorry for being so mean to you, but this is my way of saying, newgrounds audio portal, you have to grow up.
As for you, i'dd spend some more time in the mastering, the bassdrum and bass really clip when they play together, and the sound is rough on the edges...
Now i've had mastering problems too when i started making music, so that's not strange. In fact, it's natural. Just read some tut's / ask someone for help, and along the way, you'll learn how it's done.
As for the drum samples, buy a deadmau5 sample pack, or tweak the VEC 1/2/3 packs to get a drumpack / loop that fits the sounds a bit more, this sounds like a random pack thrown over random untweaked VST presets pretty much.

Well first of all I appreciate the criticism and the help, but I'm not asking anyone to buy anything. They can download it for free at sharecash.
I agree that I'm new and I need more experience mastering, tweaking, etc. but at the same time, you can't tell me it doesn't sound good. If it doesn't it's just because of your opinion. A ton of people love this song as it is right now, and even though I'm just starting out, you have to admit that this is pretty groovy. I personally think it's worth 99 cents, and most definitely worth downloading it for free at sharecash.
I agree with tijnn
I'm sorry mate. It sounds really cheap. The mastering was horrible, and the piano and eurogates were really random. The only thing I liked was the chord progression, if you used it in the right way.
Way to go dude!

Well of course you agree with tjinn, you 2 are like best buddies here on newgrounds. Ya know its way funny that all these people are like 'This is frickin awesome!' 'Great stuff!' etc etc,
And then you and tjinn.........2 of the worst artists here on newgrounds (who are good friends too) come on to post their jealousy and their trolling all over. Grow up, seriously. At least my music is catchy. And again, I'm not going for unique trancegates or glitches or even unique instruments. I'm going for unique melodies and filling them with instruments because I don't know how to make my own, which is fine.
I don't understand how you think the gates were random............when most of YOUR music has random crap everywhere. Sure the mastering could be better, but even this unmastered piece is better than any mastered stuff you have.
why upload the demo..?
is there any particular reason this message popped up when i tried to go to that first website? - "Whoever sent you to that link you just followed was trying to trick you. They made a page that tries to ban your IP address from ShareCash. Don't worry, though, we caught them! Remember to warn others that the person who sent this link is trying to trick people!"
it's not like you'll make any real cash from this, so i don't quite see the need to promote your song with this demo.. but whatever makes you happy..
i would base my rating on the full version, except for the fact that the first link is apparently bogus and the second one, which i'm not going to try because it probably can't be trusted either, requires that you pay to hear it..
rwert responds:
I dunno why it did that to you O_O It works just fine and from the looks of my earnings, others have already downloaded it from there. I just tested it out and it works just fine for me. Wierd that that happened.
And also pretty much the biggest artist here on newgrounds (F-777) uses soundloud and soundstation. You can trust it.
