BCM Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 what the fuck's happened to YLC? it's like the BOC subforum in there these days... who are all these people? also, severe lack of replies to things (imo, seems to be the general trend though). I dunno, doesn't feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 what the fuck's happened to YLC? it's like the BOC subforum in there these days... who are all these people? also, severe lack of replies to things (imo, seems to be the general trend though). I dunno, doesn't feel the same. i remember the first time I posted a track in there, immediately got "You MUST COMMENT ON AT LEAST X NUMBER OF TRACKS BEFORE WE WILL LISTEN" haven't posted a track on there for years.

BCM Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 really? who said that shit?? mental... tbh I usually only comment on tracks by a few select artists that I know I like and are good at what they do...so I shouldn't complain really. fuck it, I still am though.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I mostly listen to tracks by people whose names I recognise from general banter. I should probably comment more but unless I can suggest an improvement or I really like it, I can't think of much to say. I should post some music too.

chaosmachine Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Making music isn't novel anymore. There's an endless supply of mediocre electronic music. The incentives for exploring unknown artists are low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think you're right on the fruity loops thing...don't get me wrong - I really like fruity loops, but there do seem to be quite a lot of people with a cracked version of floops (or something) doing the "hai guyz I made teh idmz" thing and posting a lot of, sorry to say it, shite. YLC has on occasions had some very good music by very good artists, now it's full of too much crap. sorry if I'm insulting anyone's music, but there you go.

Guest IRARI Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 the thing i don't like about ylc is that usually only 1 person rates a track and they always rate it 5, so it looks like everything is always 5-star quality sometimes i secretly go in and rate it 1 to even it out, except in the occasion of tracks by Jaffa which i always rate 1 because he has a tiny pen0x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 We could make it so there is a minimum post count before you can post in there maybe? Jonas's idea about picking out the ten best every month is a good idea, I'd get involved in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Masonic Boom Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 That section is really the most intimidating for a newbie like me. I don't think I've been in there once since joining the forum. But I'm curious to hear what people are doing. I suppose that was the motivation behind the "tell me the inspiration behind your favourite track" thread. That I'd be much more motivated to listen to tracks if people could articulate why I should. (Though, TBH, has making music *ever* been novel?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I used to post stuff in there about once a month and would constantly be checking out any new stuff. But I haven't been on there for about 2-3 years now, but can't really put my finger on why that is .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theSun Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 i'm fairly new to this site, and i've never really had that much time to spend on composing music, but i'll post a track there once every few months and usually look over other peoples stuff a few times a month. i'm pretty picky though so i know if i'll like a song after the first like 10 seconds. a lot is acid, dancey stuff that turns me off quickly and most stuff seems to be made without that much effort.
