With the contest kicking off for the month of June, this seems like a great time to launch a megathread for song feedback. For now we'll do this on a monthly basis and and pin the thread to the top of the sub. (This thread itself is not a contest).
Obviously you can already share your track in a post (presumably to get listens and feedback), so this thread only really makes sense if you leave feedback so you can get feedback in return.
Guidelines:
-
For every track you'd like to post, you need to leave a comment providing feedback on at least one other users track. Abusers will receive a temporary ban. (Excluding the first two comments left here to get the ball rolling).
-
Limit one track per comment. Comments containing more than one track link will be removed.
-
Try to add additional descriptors of your track in the comment. Adding things like genres, song title, and a brief description/background are likely to increase visibility and reception.
-
No linking to personal websites. Songs should be shared using links only from well-known platforms like: , SoundCloud, YouTube, BandCamp, etc.
-
Feedback should consist of at least one or two specific elements you liked or disliked in the OP's track. AKA "Great track!" or "Awesome!" does not qualify as feedback, as there is no evidence you actually listened to the track in question. Feedback should be unique for every track you provide a response to.
-
Do not link your track in your feedback to others. If you must, you can drop a link to the Reddit comment in this thread where your track is linked (of course you'd need to have already left feedback elsewhere so you can post the track in the first place).
-
Please try to leave feedback on tracks that haven't received any feedback yet!
-
Please limit to one track share per 24 hour period.
And while not required, it would be appreciated if you left feedback in return to anyone who leaves feedback for you. Bonus points if you leave multiple reviews as it helps balance out the share to review ratio.
This is the first iteration of this so consider it to be an experiment and if you have any feedback for changes please let us know!
Thread Update 6/5:
Yesterday a new rule was added above. There is now a limit of one track share per 24 hour period.
Additionally, we will begin recognizing "super reviewers" by pinning a song of their choice in either the stickied comment or in the thread post itself. To get recognized, you must keep and maintain a 5:1 review-to-share ratio. You can message me directly if you believe you qualify. (I won't know otherwise)
DO NOT POST YOUR TRACK WITHOUT LEAVING A REVIEW. If this continues to become an issue I will just start issuing temporary bans, as this is resulting in abusers getting reviews while people who are following the guidelines are not.
