Votes for Inspiration
Well, where do I go to find inspiration?
The answer is mostly to CSDB (or Youtube).
So, lets see... Magnar Harestad
To be honest, how should I get inspired by only 15 people voted on my music skills? I mean, does not any else care about my music released in demos as Wonderland XI, We Are New, Lash, Sidelined etc?
If only 15 people has taken the time to vote, then why should I put efforts in composing new sid tracks for new demos? Is it really worth it?
I would rather have a 1000's giving me a score of 1, than 15x give me a average score of around 8. At least in the first example, I would know I sucked at composing. :)

Stein: yeah, it's a good idea to release the tunes separately... The number of votes, and how good the composer is has nothing to do with each other and besides that I don't think it has to do with being hyped only... I still think people should care more about giving feedback, so I will start by trying to better at it myself... and not just being a lazy fuck ;) |

Quote: Quote:Some people are hyped and others that might even be way better but less wellknown get lost in the big mass of productions.
at this point everyone must vote for mr. Kjell Nordbo (RIP)
Well said, man. What Kjell created is unmatched and is something that no one else will be able to re-create.
on-topic:
My full respect flies to everyone, hyped or not so much hyped. I can hear much value and great attitude in all of your SIDs even if most of them are not really my style. But whatever competent you are you can't tell peope what to prefer and what not and that's allright. That's life. As long as you have joy in creation, why the heck do you care about vote and rating hubble bubble? It's SID, one of the few little spots of the world that is not f'd up, where you are free and don't have to please anyone just do stuff as your instinct tells. Sure there will be negative ears as well, so what? It is not F'n pussy porn pop music but under-underground stuff. Fine stuff of that.
On my part I've been doing my own things in the much more hostile underground metal scene (with comments like, 'you fuckin must be executed for that' and so on - pathetic...) for over two decades and never listened to any critics. That's why I'm still doing it happily I guess while most of the critics live full of conformity and left music scene ages ago. So whenever I hear anything like 'you should do this or that' or 'you should improve and change this or that' I say thanks for the feedback, otherwise you must be f'n kidding man. Listening to moaners is dangerous as they make you compromise and your music will be f'd up. Some tell truth and give super valuable info but you must be confident in your style and know yourself well to handle this well.
The much more dangerous thing is to take diehard fans seriously. It makes you overconfident and overfed, you lose your own control over your own quality standards, lose direction, burn out and start to produce crap. So, 1 constructive negative comment for 1000 likes, man! Or 1000 negatives for 1000 positives any time as at least they keep you angry and hungry for creation.
If people are moaning too much about someting that you like during creation, next time try to overdo it 50 times more to push down in the throats then watch the effect. Most will like it more. Anyway, it is much more fun to see pro and con people fighting over your stuff than reading opppa-suppa-duppa comments all the time. |

Quoting MagnarIt is about feedback. If none, then inspiration to continue making SIDs will die. Time would be better of doing something else.
This is plain bullshit.
Whether there is feedback or not, making SIDs should always be for making SIDs. I do it just for the love of doing it on SID, not to please somebody else or to receive feedback.
Sure, it is beautiful if somebody likes it and then makes a favour to give some feedback. But even if it would not be there, I would do SIDs as long as I live. |

@Groepaz: ..sort of brave of you to share this with us.. If i should say something positive, the extreme compression ration gives it all a certain touch.. :).
Now.. should i also dump my old demo tapes from my trash-metal band here!? I see a flood coming, and it actually feels quite out of topic of this whole site. |
