You know I've felt like mixmkr a bunch of times. I've actually listened to many tunes and ended up not responding because I didn't think it was that great, but there were 20 posts saying it was.
Maybe that was wrong huh?
But what about this???... What if a song is produced terrifically, has real interesting music, but the lyrics are so canned, repetitive, and trite that it makes me puke? Should I make that comment (perhaps more gently than that ) even after 20 people gushed over it? Afterall, it's an MP3 clinic, not a songwriting clinic.
I know I turn a recording critique into a songwriting critique sometimes (songwriting is a big thing with me). But I don't usually over-do it. I just pull my punches at times. Right or wrong I do it.
And mix... Sam pointed it out, but I noticed too (as I'm sure a bunch of others did) that you don't post the high value critiques that you used to do. Please don't think I'm an ass for mentioning this. I don't have any clue what your time contraints are. You don't owe anybody around here anything. The reverse is more the case. I just mention it because I miss it.
