I totally agree Jan.The only caveat is you do have to have a knowledge of the person that's giving objective feed back. he/she may not have a clue and could be giving totally bad opinions.
As far as subjective opinion. It's a matter of "I like it" '"I don't like it". Be honest.




BINGO! That is exactly why for the most part my low number of comments on original music, because they tend to be subjective, I either like it or not. And I usually only comment on songs "I like a lot". That is unless something in the mix, chord structure or layout sticks out like a sore thumb, then and only then I feel my constructive different point of view regarding these issues might be helpful. I leave the rest to the many on this forum who's expertise, especially as it pertains to mixing and wordsmith is in another league than mine.

With this said and while my hat is off to all who are writing original music, I am equally impressed when someone takes a popular work re-arranges it to fit a different feel and/or style, or as the old adage says, "make it there own." Too bad copyrights keep us from hearing more of the latter.

Later,

PS: Good thread Jan!




Another point I neglected and should have added to my original response to this post, is that with so many original work being posted, and that is a good thing, the time equation comes into play. You see to give an honest listen I would have to listen to each tune (unless something just jumps out and grabs me) at least 2-3 times before I would feel a comfort level with the piece of work to make a comment.
