Shout Outs

Now see backbonez knows exactly what hes talking about. But being honest here speaking as one of the so called "popular users" or "top users" none of us would be anywhere without little spam, all your arguments have valid points. But seriously it semms like the game of soundation isnt as much about talent as it is the number of people and groups you spam. There are quite a few people including myself that in no way on earth deserve the position they are in. And then theres people like Underscored_, and Kracked Ekho (to name a few) that arent even on top users.

I've been wanting to learn how to play piano for that specific reason, to get better at melodies and keys. Thanks Audial.

There is a limit to what you can learn from the community, we can help with tips on mixing and synth design but everything else is pretty purely much self taught

Ok sure I see what you mean, I had formal music theory tuition so that was a great basis for me to start music production. If there is one thing you should do to help your production it is to have a go at learning some music theory, this can be done using youtube tutorials or by paying for tuition from a local music teacher, learning the piano is also exceptionally useful. Just learning to play a few songs will allow you to have better knowledge of keys/scales, melodies harmonies and rhythms.

No audial, i dont think "The popular users" are full of themselves, only most. and you are right. but only a handful of artists actually do help but that's not all the time though. and you also right about not getting paid, you do this because you love it. and you're again right about everybody being in that position, but can you tell me how users like me can learn without a teacher? because the odds of me getting help are not in my favor. And thank you for suggesting options for me to help with my music.

Otherwise just keep trying, get involved with the community in other ways than spamming, try making friends, try using the hangout with your new found friends, learn from each other, check out andreas tips n tricks group. My music theory group has a few .sng files for you to have a look at and get ideas from. Kracked Echo has a "Soundation's Instrument School" group that you can ask for help in. Spamming a link to your track isn't going to benefit you or anyone else. it is your responsibility for your own progress, don't blame other people.

You are being unfair, do you think the users you are talking to weren't in the position where they were just starting? everyone was in that position but they didn't spam on pages like this, you don't get support by spamming all day, you need to earn respect and followers not ask for them. One way of doing this is by entering competitions, you will be noticed if you make decent music.

You think the popular users are full of themselves because they don't listen to all the annoying "checkmytrack" they get or are posted on every group? Or because they flag comments that are clearly inappropriate for this group? Do you think it is the duty of more popular members to accept the "check track" requests, we don't get paid or get anything at all for doing it, and believe me a lot of popular users do follow through these requests but they do get very tiresome over time.

A lot of Soundation users are having trouble with making music. and most of the "best producers" hardly help. They're full of themselves. So all these people your flagging might be the ones who need that help. So stop being so closed minded about the "spammers", we just want feedback and helpful tips that's why we "Spam" so hopefully we can get featured and people would listen and maybe help us.

instead of flagging us, why don't you take the time and listen to our songs and give us feedback or tell us ideas about the song or something. and i know you have the time to do that because you spending a shitload of time making more sounds that more than 2/3rds of soundation users cant even use because we dont have an account other than the free ones.
