Well, even with song-theads you wouldn't check either I guess. You can have interesting discussions in a single-thread too, and it would help making the subforum clearer i think.
About "minimal feedback", well that's a problem, because most of the time on forums and social networks ppl just post these kind of comments in order to have more "friends" and "plays", lame really... Curiosity and open-mindedness: we all have to force ourselves to stay out of our confort zone I guess.
now that i think about it, i agree. Technical feedback may be useful for noobs, but most of us are on the same level - I might be better at x, you at y, but we're all just internet randos doing our thing. I've never gotten a truly shocking response from internet critique, because I already know what I like & dislike about my music.
Yup I second that. But as far as i'm concerned i don't release tracks in order to receive feedback or appreciation, but simply because I think my works can bring a bit of joy in the listener's mind. i take a lot of pleasure making music, if some ppl do so listening to it then it's fine for me.
