Is your music good?

AdilC	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 10:40 PM Yes. But ignore comments from those who you just listened to the music off, they are usually pretend. All comments on my music from ppl i dont even know or saw their page. Offcourse i repaid the favor.

orgasmotron	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 1:56 PM if a song I've written/performed has ANY comments i'm happy. good or bad, comments can really help musicians improve, as long as they are willing to accept comments for what they are, and not as personal attacks as some people seem to do.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 7:40 PM I believe I have something to my music otherwise I would not be doing it. I enjoy writing songs and enjoy playing them, I don't play the ones I'm not so keen on. Therefore in my opinion my music is satisfactory and in some cases good however this may not and in many cases not the same opinion. I'm open to whoever would like to comment on my music as long as its not simply slandering it. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is the answer.

MoneyMurks	Date: March 14, 2005 @ 12:56 AM Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So to me everything I put out is great or ok. But mostly great cause im a great guy.
Etheracide	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 2:53 AM hmmm to me a million comments of "your music sucks" (with some variants) means that your quality is pretty bad but you do pretty well in marketing if that many people have listened to your music. If only 20 people leave comments and they all say "your music is perfect" (or the like), then I guess you've either found your niche and/or you'll break big once more people have heard yourself. If only 15 people have listened to your work but all have responded with some type of comment, then you know that your material atleast inspires all those that listen to it to do...SOMETHING. Numbers, in general, are inconsequential. Like a person's age. Generally meaningless.
DevilsBadDau...	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 10:00 AM "Do you reakon that the number of comments that you get on your songs reflects the quality of your music??" no not really. Like MoneyMurks said:"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". I think some of my tracks are awful but nevertheless they got many comments. On one hand I don´t like some of my songs(so why did I upload them?)but on the other hand they reflect myself. so I´m awful just kidding. I don´t think that the numer of comments reflect the quality of the song. On dmusic there´re some pretty good artist. But only few pppl know them. So how could they get lots of comments if noone knows them? Just my opinion...

guitarjunkie	Date: April 11, 2005 @ 11:52 PM i wish...ive gotten only a few listens and no comments, but i dont think its bad...leave me some comments pleeeeeeeeeeeeeezz!! http://magnumman.dmusic.com
Dizeazed	Date: April 12, 2005 @ 3:28 AM No... It just shows how much you promote yourself or how well known you are at this site.
bLINK2005uk	Date: April 12, 2005 @ 4:52 AM nope cos peopel are stupid . they dont know what they know, erm except for all u guys who posted on this page
bLINK2005uk	Date: April 12, 2005 @ 5:02 AM i dont like the fact that most comments are from users who i have commented on there song previously. there are alot of people willing to be nice so they get nice comments 2 , and every one can live in a nice bubble wrapped world. however i have met a few people who i consider their opinions as well thought and not scared into being nice just to be nice..
onewhodreams	Date: April 12, 2005 @ 9:22 AM I agree with Dizeazed for the most part. I don't mind if most of my comments are from musicians whom I have listened and commented previously. That's how this place works, and what makes dmusic so special is it's loyal listeners and commenters
Hatsy	Date: April 15, 2005 @ 8:52 PM I agree with Diane, we haven't all got heaps of time online to go looking, if someone pops up in my shouty to say they have listened to a song I then go over to their shouty to thank them, that's just common curtesy and I wouldn't dream of not doing that, if I have time while I am there I will also seek out the music of the person who has kindly listened to ours, I can't always do that on the same day but I make a mental note to go back as soon as I can. I have found several fantastic writers & artists that way, simply because I have been able to click on their page instantly, I can never remember band names & there are thousands & thousands here to wade through, if you don't pick up new material to check out when it is being played in the recent interaction then you have usually lost it for a while after that, and I have lost track of some I wanted to hear purely because I didn't have the time that day but the title sounded really good...so to those above who think that commenting after a comment is false please don't judge so harshly, this place works this way & if you don't know an artist personally you have no chance of finding them again quickly, it's like a needle in a haystack. Plus I think if you can't be bothered to return a compliment of at least listening to someone who has put themselves out for you then you don't deserve the plays/comments etc., If I see a new name in our song den I make a bee line for it as soon as I can, often out of curiosity, that doesn't mean if I don't like the music I will say it's great, I have said on more than one occasion that the music is not my style but I enjoyed it or possibly it could use a little more work or words to that effect but I agree with Intergalactic, slandering somebody's material helps no one to improve and does nothing for their confidence. If a track is really awful to my ears I just don't comment at all, but I still thank the person for their time. Good manners cost nothing! I'm turning into my mother !!
soccaplayer510	Date: April 15, 2005 @ 9:08 PM mine is i mix jay-z with anybody else i just finished mashups with jay-z and pink floyd alos have done jay-z with Lionel Richie Van Halen Soft Cell Falco Search Soccaplayer510 and listen (i have some of it up already)enjoy!
MindSculpture	Date: April 16, 2005 @ 7:42 AM "Do you reakon that the number of comments that you get on your songs reflects the quality of your music??" Of course the answer is NO. You could have a hundred comments all saying "Pie" or "Sploonge".You could have a hundred comments all saying "I think you're great" or "you really suck". At the end of the day YOU are the judge of the QUALITY of your OWN music. It all comes down to talent, song writing skills, Recording and production skills etc... It is of course nice to recieve a pat on the back from your friends here at DMusic, but is more helpful if your friends give you constructive feedback that may highlight an area that is strong/weak in your arsenal. I like it when I get honest comments that point out errors in my production or song structure. How else am I ment to improve if it is not pointed out to me? Sometimes you are just to close to your music to hear the obvious. So after all that...do I think I have quality in my music? Yes I do, but more importantly - I think that the quality of my music is Improving.
