thumb down

okay, this is not a very new idea... but it definitely could be nice to oblige people to write a comment when leaving a thumb down. i use to upload my music to get advices from all of you. how can i improve myself just by getting thumb down? you can be as wicked as you want in your comments. let yourself writing everything you want but, please, not just : "it suck". thanks.  

I agree 200% 

a thought ; if someone finds your track as bad as a thumb down, then I think if that person would put a comment, it wouldnt(!) be relevant to you because of the huge difference in "how music should sound"....at the end it would be too hard to please the audience if you would keep in mind all "good" AND "bad" comments. Also important to put in your description what kind of comments you want .Im shure you know that.....like ;advice on what could be changed or added or left out ,..but if you want open and honest comments even if the listener thinks it sucks,ok.

It's not a question of getting - yes or no - tumbs down ... but at least in this case you're entitled to get a motivation. Maybe a tumbs up should also be motivated ???? In some cases it might be a honour to get a tumbs down...???

i agree with Bpolar, if we make an obligation to comment thumbs down, lets do the same for thumbs up! But i think we should  just have to deal with thumbs down/up without comments, even if its boring

**thumb up!

**I declare we shall, from now of on, call this somewhat negative thread, the all mighty, majestical thumb up threadzzzzzzzzzzzwikiwkikpoipoi !

there, i said it. may Jesus be with you

skip: if there is a comment with the thumb down, i can judge myself if i should take it into consideration. aphone: i understand you're point of view about thumb up, aphone. but i don't care if poeple like my music. give me thumb-up-without-comment or nothing, it's the same. give me thumb-down-without-comment, and i think <>.

people who like my music just makes me happy. people who dislike my music AND explain me why makes me progress. **i don't expect ebel community to make me happy. **

ceci est une discussion stérile me semble-t-il. en effet, c'est ça aussi la démocratie. et puis il n'est pas très difficile d'admettre qu'un quelconque quidam trouve une chanson moche tout simplement,  sans devoir se répandre en excuses ou explications de toutes sorte. personnellement, je dois l'avoir utilisé 2X.....une pour Rachid (qui était demandeur) et une autre que je n'ai pas justifié. par contre je dois avoir utilisé minimum 5500X le +, et personne ne rouspète......même Mozart, on trouve des gens qui n'aiment pas. donc je vous en prie, un peu de modestie svp. This is a sterile discussion he(it) seems to me. Indeed, that's right also the democracy. And then it is not very difficult to admit that some fellow finds an ugly song simply, without having to spread in excuses or explanations of all sort. Personally, I must have used him(it) 2X one for Rachid (who was a plaintiff(applicant)) and other than I did not justify. On the other hand I must have used minimum 5500X +. And nobody grumbles ...... same Mozart, we find people who do not like(love). Thus please a little of modesty svp.

In a way, you're deeply right.  but in a community like this one, aren't we expecting something more than just "+1" or "-1"? This is absolutely not about self-esteem! I don't care about being loved by anybody, i'm here to try to improve myself thanks to people with an awesome experience ... anyway, like you said... this thread is stupid being sterile and we already spoke about that thousand times. everybody has is own advice and is not going to change. so, bygone.

very true. I rather appreciate it that people give me a thumb down with an explanation to perhaps that little annoying snare that they don't like, or something similar, sound wise to that. they don't have to be totally nuts about it...

also, I like it when people say , for example that the pads or bass is nicely done, or about mixing/mastering tips and structure help, instead of just say it's cool, nice, good, thumb up or stuff like that. though motivating , but not really helpful.

yup; you changed my mind a bit. I think I said that because sometimes when I get a negative comment ,its too different from what I wanted to achieve in the track, and so irrelevant to me. But I shurely understand your point. grtz
