Hey how hard is it to get noticed?

theharme	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 2:29 AM I don't know about you guys, but I feel kinda lost in the sea of media, it's intense, any tips on how to make the most of it all? BTW check out The Spooked! (Shameless plug, sorry).
RaXDaCapo	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 4:02 AM You got start communicating more with the people on DMusic and leave feedback. There is a lot of media on here, but you will get noticed. You just got to be active on this site.
theharme	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 4:45 AM BTW what sort of music do you all listen to besides posters here? Just wondering.
Droquen	Date: August 27, 2004 @ 4:43 PM LED ZEPPELIN YES!!!
imemine	Date: August 27, 2004 @ 5:13 PM What RaXDaCapo said, although we've never met.
wet1	Date: August 28, 2004 @ 11:00 PM Being fairly new to the forums, I can tell you that it is fairly easy. All you gotta do is post. These seem like very good folks and they are friendly. I am not really new to forums. I can tell you that there are many forums out there where if you are not a member of the click, you get ignored. Doesn't seem to be the case here.
RaXDaCapo	Date: August 28, 2004 @ 11:12 PM Hey there imemine1!!
SunnyH	Date: August 29, 2004 @ 5:02 PM I agree with you wet1, there are SO many other forums out there where people just ignore you. ..of course, unless you were born there. hehehe... People here are really great folks, that's why I love it here!
imemine	Date: August 29, 2004 @ 8:27 PM Peace out RaXDaCapo! Pleasure to make your acquaintance. to Sunny too
DjRiktor	Date: September 5, 2004 @ 11:37 PM You gotta be active to get noticed?! I knew it! This thing was a cult all along. waits for the email from dmusic admins talking about a big party with "delicious punch"
moam	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 12:56 AM Cold, ICP, Twiztid, Marilyn Manson, Smashing Pumpkins, Cradle of Filth, Nirvana, KoRn, Dislocated Boner, Murderdolls, Metallica (old stuff), Weezer, NIN, damn too many more to name... I listen to myself a lot too. It's kind of sad, but I don't care because I am proud of what I do and I love the music I make!
8111	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 2:17 PM Of all the sites I have my tunes posted on, I enjoy this one the most. The amount of attention you recieve is directly proportional to how much input you add yourself. Look around. I don't always have a lot of time to surf, but when I do, I constantly find indviduals and groups whose music just takes my breath away. Feedback on your material is priceless, and the insights and encouragement is extremely helpful. The community aspect here is what gives Dmusic the edge in my opinion.
MCCUBED	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 11:42 PM YEAH IT IS HARD TO GET NOTICED. I ALMOST PASSED UP THIS FORUM.
Dizeazed	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 4:11 AM You can't expect to just upload your music and have everyone come screaming to your site to stream your tracks. You've gotta get out and talk to people. Listen to their music, post on their sites. Everyone here is tryin' to be heard. So if you get out and make some friends... You'll slowly start to be heard. Basically: The more you give, the more you get... enough said.
BleedingDece...	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 3:09 PM I'm an acoustic artist, and I like listening to acoustic artists...I'm fairly new to the site and I'm not sure how everything works..but I want to find some artists to listen to as well as get some people to listen to my stuff...just look for bleeding december if any of you are interested...and if any of you have something you think I may like, let me know where to find it..thanks
arekestall	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 4:30 PM did someone say something?
Yellow-905	Date: September 11, 2004 @ 11:42 PM what does getting noticed mean?? http://yellow.dmusic.com/
koiulpoi	Date: September 13, 2004 @ 6:32 AM I don't care much if I get a lot or a few pageviews and listens, as long as everyone leaves a comment! I want feedback, and that doesn't seem to happen much. So yeah, that's the idea. Heck, even if you don't like it, please TELL ME. http://koiulpoi.dmusic.com
stevelester	Date: September 13, 2004 @ 10:10 AM I'm with ya Koiulpoi... I always leave feedback when I listen to someone's stuff (I only wish I had more time to check more people's stuff out)... I feel like I don't have as many comments on my page as I leave, but that's fine... I've had a lot of people listen to my stuff and as long as I'm in their ear, ya know what I'm sayin'??? I'll check your stuff later on today (I actually have to work today)... Good luck and peace...
HandClapOrch...	Date: September 13, 2004 @ 2:24 PM If you are like L'orchestre of the blow of the hand you are always get noticed every times because it is favorite musics of everyone like us.
SirDanielTri...	Date: September 13, 2004 @ 2:46 PM I agree to the notice of favourites. It could be even greater with an availible L.P.
HandClapOrch...	Date: September 13, 2004 @ 5:36 PM Our musics on are only to come out if you are here in our country. They prevent that from happen but do not (oversea, mean,) but I am hack and got through some sneak so they do not know of my here. You can make a CDs from it here songs though.
koiulpoi	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 6:55 AM Thanks, steveoman. I must not get noticed because I think my style is farther out there than most anyones.
RosLen	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 2:12 PM DjRiktor made me laff out loud! I'm with koiulpoi on this one. Give me some comments, ya know? I like that my stats show they are dl my track, but the feedback is most critical. As for connecting, I'm in the forums, I listen to alot of other people's tracks & leave comments. I am new to this site too & like it ALOT but am a tiny bit frustrated at the amount of ripped pop mp3's and wack karoake cover tunes uploaded. I try to be honest, i'm not gonna tell someone they are "awesome" when they sound like a bag of hot garbage just to get page hits & feedback. I also think my genre of music doesn't stand out on here as much as Rock, Alternative & Americana does. On the plus side, the people I've interacted with so far have been really cool. LJ
iluminati	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 2:38 PM put me on the need feedback list. http://iluminati.dmusic.com/
RosLen	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 2:56 PM doh! ....heading ova to iluminati's page
blacklieder	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 3:13 PM You got start communicating more with the people on DMusic and leave feedback. There is a lot of media on here, but you will get noticed. You just got to be active on this site. I agree with you on this one, and I notice when I'm active, I get reactions. Not all of them have been positive (check out my :embarassed: on the September Battles forum), but they have been educational, to saythe least. bleedingdecember: the ball will not come to you, you have to chase it. If you click dmusic has taught me to be a bit more courteous, and I'm trying to look at and respond to as many folks as I can. Sure, It's a little time consuming, but it's, as Wilfred Brimley always says, "the right thing to do." theharme: do you want feedback from just dmusic members? then shout to folks, look at other peoples pages and post in forums. If you want non-members to see your site, you have to go out and tell them about it. You won't see the results unless somebody emails you.

koiulpoi	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 3:22 PM Hey, I'm even saying that if I sound like "a bag of hot garbage", let me know how I can be better. We're all musicians here, and we can all help each other. That's really what this is about IMHO. But I'm a little crazy. I think.
imemine	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 3:26 PM Here’s an Idea on how to get noticed! Ask Mux! http://spiralmux.dmusic.net/ !!!
spiralmux	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 4:33 PM
makisupa97	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 7:49 PM i have my music on so many sites and this is the first one that has this type of community and i love it! this site rocks!
koiulpoi	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 9:08 PM makisupa97: Seriously? I haven't put my music on any other site, but I guess this place is unique with a real welcoming community, which is excellent. Music means nothing if nobody hears if, it is useless if it isn't shared. It's a step sideways from poetry, the nuances greater than the spoken word. Sorry about that, I get...um...existential at times.
makisupa97	Date: September 17, 2004 @ 9:27 PM hey koiuploi!! i have my music on other sites and they're more for public consumption without such a network of artists commenting on each others work and communicating with each other in forums...this one is really great and it's nice that you can make comments on songs...
koiulpoi	Date: September 18, 2004 @ 10:10 AM Then I guess we found a gem in this place. Cool beans.
