Music Head Wrote:guess the dude only wanted favorable comments

Jerome Wrote:Look this music is not my thing at all - it just does not go anywhere - it does not develop. BTW - your first sample is only 44 seconds. How can you expect people to critique music with such short samples? Refer to my previous post.

Jerome Wrote:The general rule of thumb is that when a producer hears something he likes (normally after about a minute or two) he will invest some time listening to the CD/demo/sample etc. If nothing grabs his attention within about 30 seconds (i.e. something he does not like) he will abandon it very quickly. But nobody can critique anything after one second. It's not rocket science. Either somebody likes your material or they don't - that's life. Get used to it. You're going to have to deal with it for a very long time.


BTW we get a lot of people asking the members of this forum to invest their time to listen to and comment on their music. 99% of them only want to hear that their music is fantastic. 99% of them are wrong. It's very seldom you hear something on this forum that is truly inspiring or original. Those artists are few and far between. They do exist and we do hear fantastic pieces of music from time to time but they are extremely rare. And a common trait is that when somebody comments negatively on material that has been submitted, they cannot take it. i.e. they are not prepared to learn from their mistakes or in fact learn anything at all. Another common trait is that they contribute very little to the forum and once judgement has been passed on their music - good or bad - they don't stick around. So they end up going from one forum to another hoping to get a good result when in fact they should be listening to the advice of the members of the forums they have already been to. They might learn something.
