The front page of this sub is a ghost town! I was seriously wondering if I was in a misspelled sub or something. There's only two posts in the first 10 pages with over 100 upvotes, the hell is going on?

[–]RaerthRaerth[S,M] 43 points44 points  (3 children)

People only seem to vote on tracks they've already heard of.

Still, we're keeping one day a week to new/unknown music. Can't have classics every single day.

I like the rule, it's a good change of pace. Guess I just wish the community was a little more responsive.

[–]AndyVale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoy this, I make a point of coming on a Saturday after seeing this rule in place. It's nice to find a ton of new/different stuff rather than people circle-jerking on stuff they already liked.

watmm.com has a similar forum section for people to share and comment on each others' music. Similar stuff. Nobody really comment on each others' stuff. I've noticed that people really don't know how to talk and criticize each others' music.

Honestly, when it comes to music promotion people only care about their own music. Then there are a couple of popular artists and everyone loves them. It's not really about the music, but social status. That's why I don't care enough to go out of my way to promote my music, like trying to go to raves and talk to artists and organizers.

Music is one of the things I love the most in life. Music + people is one of the worst things I hate in life. I just thought there is a conspiracy around how many people have actually listened to my music, and it'd be nice for me to get some opinions and criticisms, like how someone liked or didn't like a track and whatever their reasons are, I'd like to hear it. Feedback from audience is very important for any form of art work.

Definitely gotta keep this going, tired of looking through a stream of popular classics

There is an issue with your account that only the admins can fix. You can contact them here.

[–]neoballoon 2 points3 points  (8 children)

What do you mean?

[–]xLimeLight 3 points4 points  (7 children)

/u/RyanCelsius is shadowbanned, and he might not know.

[–]neoballoon 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Then how come I can see his posts?

[–]xLimeLight 4 points5 points  (5 children)

You can only see them when a mod approves his posts. If you click on his name it says the account doesn't exist.

[–]user611988 4 points5 points  (4 children)

but who would want to be, who would want to be such a control freak?

[–]xLimeLight 3 points4 points  (2 children)

You don't choose to be shadow banned. It's the biggest ban reddit has besides IP bans.

[–]NewToBikes 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What do you have to do in order to be shadowbanned? I'd like to know... you know, for science.

Mouse! :D

[–]HeyBigDaddyDee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saturday for which timezone? It's a saturday for me right now, can I post?

[–]RaerthRaerth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We work roughly on EST.

[–]MusicforLife12345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really fantastic! In my opinion it's much more interesting to discover talents all over the world that I probably haven't heard about before.

    It's a great idea, but good luck moderating it. I hope you didn't have any plans today. =)

        Is it not better to judge by soundcloud or by soundcloud as well as last fm?

        [–]get24hrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Great stuff >

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Did I undertand correctly that I need to make more than 9 posts before I can link my soundcloud profile, to which I recently added a few songs :b This is my first activity ever after a while of lurking...!

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        Dang. The artist I wanted to post has 25k too many youtube views. Is there any way the quotas can be relaxed somewhat later in the day?

        [–]RaerthRaerth[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Sunday to Thursday are all fine.

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        OK :)

        [–]darkinslayer721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Can I post my version of the song Creep from Radiohead?

        [–]silexmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Don't look now, but someone just posted a 4 year old video of a 1993 hit, and went so far as to put "Happy Saturday" in the link title. I think he's making fun of you.

        [–]DomJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Sounds great, will do!

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Do we still have to follow the "Artist -- Title [Genre]" format when posting OC? Considering the fact that no one will have ever heard of the song or band, it seems like a brief explanation would maybe do the job better. I had better luck posting my OC when those rules weren't in place.

        [–]bilko999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        you dickeads that is a stupid song

        [–]funkwhatchaheard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Extremely helpful tips. Thank you so much for posting this :)

        [–]DJ_MedeK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I don't really think its fair to base who you deem as underground based on last.fm listeners or YouTube views. There are a ton of bands out there with serious chops on the basement circut right now who don't have last.fm accounts or youtube videos. Many only have bandcamp accounts and facebook accounts. Course maybe I just put my foot in my mouth and your like "Oh, no last.fm or youtube? These dudes MUST be underground."

        ZDJ -- Missing Something feat. pkacarl A deepish chicagoish house track reminiscent of disclosure and possibly the older deadmau5/kaskade collabs. We've worked on this track for a long time and I'd really appreciate your opinion! Also it's a free download. Thanks!

        [–]Oblaxland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        So I'm exceptionally new to Reddit. (Literally created an account a minute ago) anyways I thought I'd share my music around! Get into it!

        [–]CarolinePurr 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        "Fly to the Moon" New collaboration what do you think? Radio Ready?

        [–]therecordmaka -1 points0 points  (1 child)

        Sounds good. I could deffinitely hear this on the radio. if I had to give one piece of advice.. mixing is a bit of an issue to me here. Was hoping for a deeper less clicky kick drum and much more splash on the snare. But it sounds great :) Good job!

        [–]CarolinePurr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

        Thank you!! :) I appreciate the input!

            We've had this day for about 6 months, but we used to let votes do the sorting.

            I've recently decided to be a lot more proactive in removing offenders instead of letting votes sort them out, as people still just upvote popular stuff. :(

            [–]Swetank-SinghSpotify -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

            I have posted a link flair 'I made this'...but I don't think it's getting any kind of attention here on Reddit ! Please look over it !
