But when it is on the net, to be blunt I don't give a crap. If I dislike a song, voice, performance, structure, or a hundred other things that comprise a tune, I keep my mouth shut & move on. If I am asked I PM that person or band most times.

A lot of folks thrive on going out and just tearing down people that are not very good, when a few just really NEED an encouraging word.....and as musicians you folks on here KNOW what I am talking about, and know it when you hear it.

Yes, some people DO suck! Yes, some folks just want that pat on the back, and will take nothing less! But instead of wasting time on that type of garbage I save my comments / responses for folks that are really looking for the helping hand of solid criticism.....if that makes any sense to you folks.....

And solid points Mr. Gannon!

Ive been amazed at the top quality of some of the posts on here and havent dared reply for fear of embarassing myself by my lack of knowledge.
Maybe a Like button at the top of th song post so I can click it to show i heard it and liked it?

The OP said this thread is not about the Showcase, but all the replies have referred to it, so it's relevant. Now here comes WendyM, a new member, who is intimidated to post her songs. To me, this defeats the purpose of the Showcase.

It makes me wonder how many prospective customers will be put off the program by all of this.

Interesting thread.
A long time ago when I first posted a song here, under a different user name, I got these comments. One person still comments on this site. But I will never say who it was and I can't remember the song

"By all means. It's poorly played, out of time, and sounds like someone cutting down trees in a windtunnel. If you like it, keep it. That way you'll never learn the right way. Great."

"Is there construction going on behind you when you sang this? The percussion sound is odd. I thought I made out a nail gun and someone falling off a scaffold in the background."

I kept these comments just to remind me of the nice people on here. One of whom posted this:

"Has an Imagine-era John Lennon flavor to it. The part-time voice doubling is a nice touch, too. Smooth out the production and work on a couple of notes, otherwise very nice. Good song." NOW that is good advice and something to work on, which I did and still do.

Anyway,

Alyn

I meant it as, I wasn't referring to anything that had to do with the showcase when I started the thread. Not in a scolding "don't post about the showcase in my thread" kind of way.

I just wanted to be VERY clear, that my comments where NOT meant ABOUT the showcase. Apparently, that still wasn't clear? My comments were/are about people who send me demos of their talent for hire. Feel free to post in the thread anything you want about the showcase, but I don't want people to think I'm saying bad things about the showcase. That's my intent in the least!

100% agree. I love hearing where people are at, what they are doing and watching them improve if they desire. I would love to think they would feel ok with asking for help where needed. That's the idea to me. To help others with what THEY want to do...whatever that may be. smile

Just so I know, are you referring to my thread, or the above WendyM and others may feel?

If this thread in any way is taken as something other than what I intended, "nuke it" and don't leave a headstone wink smile

Personally, I didn't think it was all that controversial. I know it went a lot of different directions, but I felt there was some good advice given. But it seriously isn't all that important of a topic. I'm here to learn. I feel you do that by listening. Sometimes the questions have to be asked to be able to listen to the response.

That being said, if the response coming back would be a universal misunderstanding of what I'm saying, then I put that on my poor communication. smile This may come as a surprise, but this wouldn't be the 1st time I was misunderstood on the forum. smile

So I leave it in all of your hands. I can ask the mods to remove the thread and we all move on to better things, if that's what needs to be done.

smile
