Knowing how to make use of feedback the best way is a hard one I think and I still haven't quite figured it out yet.Runner2x wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018There is objective feedback and subjective feedback. We all can sit here and praise your awesome work but are we more than likely being objective. My rating scale gauges how likely I am to listen to somebody's music in my own time away from a forum. What kind of music would you give to a stranger who has no idea of what you do? I made the suggestion of taking a break from the synth demo projects to create song(s) for strangers. I saw the honest feedback thread you posted and it's a shame you didn't get more activity. A lot of people have a hard time with subjective opinion though, including myself at times, and ignorance is bliss.TritoneAddiction wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018Reading constructive criticism on my music sometimes feels like they want me to be another person.
Personally I'm much more willing to listen to regarding a mix or something, "kick needs to be louder", "needs more low end" and so on. It's when the feedback is more directed toward the "vision" itself that I'm having some trouble taking it to heart, because my view in general is that the artist did the way he/she did because it made sense to him/her.
I remember one advise in particular that I got a couple of years ago that I really took to heart. That was to try to add something new or make some sort of variation if a part comes back a second or third time. I thought that was great.
In the end creativity is a very confusing subject and I sure still haven't figured it out.
