Huge post!

Posted by DJ-Galax - July 7th, 2009


Ok, so this is going to be a very long and huge news post, because I have some things to talk about.

First of all, I want to talk about artists, fanbases and their scores. For example, I'll take F-777. I don't have anything against F-777, but he's a great example at the moment. His Lion King remix is in the top 5. It wasn't bad, but it was generic. Just another song. However, it's still in the top 5. Why? Because this song has a special feeling? No. Because this song is just really, really awesome? No, it's because F-777 made it. How's that fair? If someone else made that track, the score would be around 3.00-3.50 and reviewers wouldn't give 10's all the time. :S
I remember when my Happy Poing Loop got in the top 5. All people were complaining: 'This isn't top 5 material, loser!' However, the Lion King remix is good, but top 5-worthy? I don't think so.
People are relying on this: Oh, look, F-777 made this! It must be good! *votes 5* *reviews 10* ...dudes. It doesn't work like this. Listen through the full song before either voting or reviewing.

Now, I hope this rant made you look at this from another point of view, and that it left some different thoughts. (PS: My favorite songs from F-777 are Drown and A New Energy)

Now, onto the second subject. I walked from the sunny weather of music producing straight into the storm of the writer's block. For some reason I don't feel the same joy as I used to feel. :(
I hope I can get back into the sunny weather so I can make more music for you all. But for now, that's basically it.

Thirdly. Zero-bombing remains a problem around the Audio Portal, and it will probably never go away either. But here's the catch. Votes are dumb. Look at the reviews. People who review are actually the people who dare to show themselfs and how they feel about this song. People who only vote just hide their feelings, and like clicking on a button with a mad face and a huge 0 on it. How's that fun? I don't see any fun in that. Ignore the votes, look at the reviews. Reviews have something to tell. Reviews can contain constructive criticism. Reviews are always nicer to get than votes, because someone took the time to actually write something about the song. Now, some reviews aren't really nice. But hey, at least they took the time! :)

At last, I want to thank every one who helped me through my Newgrounds adventure. Blizzaine, Syphonmax, Toki-chan, SuperyoshiIsGreat, B0UNC3, CrimzonWolf777, Kazm0 and VJoe10. Without them, I wouldn't be as nice as I am now. I'm not saying I am a very good music producer, but I'm not bad either. Go take a listen to Da Rasta!

Thanks for your time reading through my news post, please leave a comment. :)

See ya around sometime!

PS: F-777 isn't the only one with too much attention. ;)

I didn't read ANY of that. Hi!

... just read it.

text wall badddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

-.-

You have the same thoughts as i do my friend!

Nice to know that.

I dont know F-777 but i agree with that voting thought
Its the same thought that bothers me all the time
Newgrounds should sort entries by the average of the review scores

If you don't know F-777, go to the Audio Portal, then top 5, then go to his profile by clicking on one of his songs.

What can you say? People are people, but they don't always think before they do.

Please enjoy the remainder of your twenty-four hour span of time.

My what?

Couldn't agree more with the voting system, and you're welcome! :3

Oh, that's no problem. ;)

Please enjoy the "rest of your day" as others might say.

Ooohh, XD. Thanks. :)

that was rambling and irrelevant. To suggest that a majority of the people here are blindly voting based on the author is just stupid. Yes, obviously those people exist, but F777 has created a fan base because he churns out song after song that are all unique in some way, and he absolutely deserves the attention he gets.

His songs are unique, but not all of them. Yet every single song gets so much attention.

This is completely true. It's not only in the audio portal, but in the flash portal too.

But in the flash portal we have hentai, but thats a whole different rant.

Lol.
