This site also has something personal to it, which isnt a means for someone else to convince coming over here or give an opinion that would be convincing enough... I mean, you can tell someone about the knowledge on this site but there are also shitloads of other sites giving the same info. Now this being a personal matter you more likely to forget you are not promoting your stuff and peeps do that in various ways of expressing their concerns regarding their talent. This is quite typical, look at the boastin n beefin that goes on SC, it all about how you're better then anyone else and how much you have with very little knowledge on the site. Philaflava is great but more stuff on bs topics then anything relevant, the sound lab is pretty much dead these days or is more about reviewing user tracks. I'm also registered to soundonsound, futureproducers and 4 other dutch boards but all pretty much bore me, or arent appealing enough to hang with, which is mostly because a board and their members tend be biased towards a specific interest, whether that be genre related or else, none seem to be really unisex producer biased...its about you the producer overhere, not you the kanye producer or you the stoupe producer, just you and thats personal.
Fade doesnt do that, the members do, the members choose what's or who's tolerable. Eventually the members will follow the path through the forums and adapt to one and anothers interests and share perspectives this way and gain the knowledge they're looking for. If you ask me, most boards can state they have a community, but this IS a community that works, is binding and connecting. On other boards you might aswell be talking to walls.
So, im not likely to be talking on other boards about Ill, simply cuz I've never ran into an occasion or topic. But I also wouldnt forward john doe towards this site since there are alternatives for his concerns, but anyone I like or feel like he could benefit and fit in gets my recommendation for this site. It's actually what I said to Rigor, check out Illmuzik....
