Mixing and Mastering.
Anyone think that the MP3 mixing clinic is getting a little crowded?
I mean i will put up a tune and it will be gone from the 1st page in like a few hours or so!! and so doesnt really get many replies.

Who thinks that it would be a much better idea to have two seperate MP3 sections?
One for song writing and one for mixing.
 
I've noticed the crowded aspect since summer started. Might get complicated to divide things up. Wait... just looked and there's already a songwriting clinic. I don't know what they cover there, maybe mp3s also?

Hi

There is already one for song writing, I'm not sure if people are using it though. I just post something there because I want ideas for a bass line and I though it would have been inapropriate to post it in the mixing clinic. I agree with you that we should use different sections to distinguish between the mix comment requests and the song writting comment requests.

Ohh, i never noticed the songwriting clinic. oops :eek:
Yeah people should prob start posting in the right clinics to give people a better chance of getting the advice they are looking for. :)
 
Yeah, the Clinic waiting room gets crowded sometimes. I wonder whether it could be divided into several sub-forums according to the musical genre of the recording. My musical tastes are wide ranging, but I personally find it difficult to be objective when listening to (for example) death metal -- mainly because I'm never really sure what it's *supposed* to sound like. ("Hmmm. Those vocals don't sound very clear to me. You should have coughed up that stuff from your throat before pressing the 'record' button....")

Anyway, if you haven't gotten any responses in several hours, or a day, you can give your thread a "bump" to get it back on the first page.

And threads like this really belong in the "Visitor Feedback" forum. :)

Shittt :eek: now im posting in the wrong place!!
Ohh well, it should hopefully get some attention in here.
 
Ah, the troubles of a free clinic. Take a number and we'll get you your Valtrex shortly.
 
Don F might have an idea of making sub clinics for diff genres.
I think that could work pretty well. Just need to speak to Dragon somehow. His box is always full up!! :(
 
I try to listen and comment on other people's stuff as often as I post my own songs. In fact, I've been here about a month, put up only 2 songs, but have commented on many more than that.There should be some kind of unwritten rule (though it would be impossible to enforce) that you can't just show up to post a song and then disappear until you post your next one.

If we were going to split it up, maybe we could split it into 2 categotires. 1) Home recorders basically doing it themselves. 2) Engineers, ME's and producers putting up stuff that they're working on for an outside band.
Just a suggestion.

In thoery it is fair to comment more than you post. I have put up a good few MP3s, prob about 15 or 20 in a year, and i place a few comments a day on MP3s.

Im not sure about the idea of one for home recordists and the other for engineers etc, as this is FOR homerecordists. maybe title it differently like Newbies and regulars or somehting.
 
Personally, I think the eclectic nature of the mixing clinic, and its varied content - writing, mixing, aesthetics - is good. There's a high quality often to what's going on here in all those aspects. Also, there's an intelligent tolerance to things outside the official forum boundaries that I think is good also when slight liberties are taken in post content that seem to fit the mood and flow of the exchanges here. My idea is getting kind of fragmented here… but can’t think of a better way to say it.

I was really just kidding about that. I think occasional exposure to things we're unfamiliar with is "good medicine".

What he said, only with less fragmentation. ;)
 
Yes, but we never will....haha :)

No, you might have a point. But I think for the price we pay to get free advice and feedback, we can't complain too much if a post sinks fast. You can always bump your own post if it dies without a response.

Or just wait for True to show up...She loves bumping............................posts.
 
A good point brought up here is the idea of posting comments to existing threads much more often than creating new threads. Don't know what the "perfect" ratio would be. Maybe 30 to 1? Also I think it's a good thing for a poster of a new thread to go down the checklist of the existing threads to listen and comment. Good for a bunch of reasons, the most selfish one is that those other thread makers are more likely to listen to and comment on yours if you do that. It also lets you understand their comments and musical perspective to hear their stuff too. It always seems a little funny to me when you check the "current active users" at the bottom of the screen to see what they're looking at, and sometimes a person is just hovering for hours over their own thread, never checking out anything else. Aren’t the rest of us good enough to listen to? I mean, we might end up here where nobody talks to anybody and we just comment on our own threads. :D
