    Giving feedback??

    If you're having a hard time figuring out how to give criticism yourself, why force yourself to do it? I'm sure you can contribute to this forum in other ways/topics. I'm more interested in discussing DAW's and mixing techniques than melodies, sound selection, etc. which is more subjective.

    Is my name cool?

    Had my parents given me a "trendy" first/last name I would've used that to market myself. I stopped trying to find a moniker and just opted for an corporate entity.

    Giving feedback??

    Basically, there's no incentive to provide feedback. Either your beat is nice or I wasn't feeling you is the best you'll get . Time = money.

    This forum dead or dying?

    Aside from the mod telling me not to battle on this forum again, I'm on the same boat. I want to market my own website and push traffic to my social media sites. Discord is amazing and I always find helpful communities to join. Haven't looked for music production specific Discord's but I'm going...

    I'd rather join a Discord group and discuss topics, debate and get feedback in real-time via voice. I just don't have the patience but more importantly desire anymore to listen to everyone's beats and post feedback. YouTube and reddit are my go to sources for anything music related so is there...

    That's just your experience but I understand your point of view. I don't think it's a problem with social media per say but more of an issue with how technology is advancing. We longer need to call someone to have a conversion or be in the same place physically. Forums, chat rooms, game lobby's...

    Arguments/trolling is bound to happen. Some members avoid the fuckery and just reply with creative criticism or in a positive way. I can't speak for everyone else but there are certain members that can rub you off the wrong way and some people get offended easily and get in their emotional bag...

    Those are all good points @Fade. Social media has conditioned our brains to have short attention spans. I think most users as mentioned already just come in looking for instant feedback on their beats and then bounce. Granted, you can't force anyone to contribute in a meaningful way and if they...

    What's the verdict? Do members come and go like a revolving door or do most stick around long term? I had fun the first couple of battles, gave some positive feedback, shared some knowledge, had a few pointless arguments with certain members..etc. A forum is only as good as it's active and...

    What DAW are you using?

    Nice! I want to like the MPC (as in the standalone hardware) but everytime I use one I still find myself using my DAW to complete a beat. I started making beats on FL funny enough. My preferences changed with age but those are all solid DAWs.

    Twitter fingers...did you get dropped on your head as a kid? Nobody mentioned you in this post. "So I letting you know, 'cause Fade don't always do obvious warnings, so might just ban you 'out the blue' if he feels you're not sorting yourself out." - The total count of active members would drop...

    What DAW are you using?

    Love it! It has the right amount of polish and features to help me be creative without having to take a deep dive and learn every feature of the DAW. I consider it to be grown up version of Ableton Live. Same concept of having clips/scenes but you can arrange/create in any way you like. The...

    It's "OKAY" to not reply my attention seeking son. "If you want to reply just to the OP and have no response you can private message them." - You just can't help yourself can you? "90% of your posts are actually quite toxic and trolling in nature. When Fade has to drop the "maybe battling...

    You love injecting your point of views in response to someone else's post like a father-less child that is seeking attention at every opportunity. I replied in reponse to the OP so let's leave it at so you can do something more productive with your time. Go make a beat or some ish...

    I don't think this is the place to hold a "moral court" nor is it the place to be judging anyone for pirating software. My stance is this....if the software I use generates money for me then yes, go support the developer/company and pay for it. If you feel that strongly about pirates go join...
