People rating music need to get their heads out of there ass

1 star on my last track, which I stated was a ruff mix, 2 of my soulful tracks got 2 stars for a week then jumped to a whopping 3, 2 tracks of which Hector Romero who runs David Morales' label wanted to sign, unfortunately I was already in contract with another label but all the experts on this site thought those tracks sucked.

Dj Jeshl told me he posted a track he slapped together in a couple hrs and posted it, told me it wasn't even close to done he posted it for feedback came back 5 hours later and he had 5 stars, he laughed about it because he couldn't believe how anyone could rate 5 stars on a track barely done when he was just looking for feedback on where to go with it....it was a kick a hat and a riff.

No one here is rating music with an open mind let alone even thinking of the structures or sounds used and I'm sick and fucking tired of it. no one leaves comments either...

there seems to be a very low amount of versatility on this site and it's pathetic.

skimming thru tracks and giving a quick rating on what you thought you heard aint happening. If you cant listen to each track thoroughly TWICE before you rate....DONT BOTHER!!


ok I am done venting

much love E

I agree with you there, even though I've had some pretty fair and good ratings on most of my tracks, I have noticed a lot of strangely rated tracks recently. I seem to get the impression that if someone listens to a track but they don't like that particular genre they will rate it badly, instead of leaving it for someone else to rate who knows and likes that particular genre, they'll just give it a bad rating. I believe that ratings should ONLY be given if you LIKE that genre of music and if you KNOW the difference between a badly constructed track, and a good one

the problem isn't that noone is rating music, it's that the majority of people don't rate music and that many of those who do simply go through the music page randomly giving tracks low ratings for no real reason.

I've been thinking of a way to get around the issue which will probably come into effect in few months time but the honesty of the thing is that if more people actually bothered to rate other people's music rather than waiting for other people to rate theirs then the few idiots who take pleasure in giving low scores for no reason would get drowned out in the sea of genuine ratings.

The way for you to get around this in the near future is to listen to the music of other people and give them feedback, they'll then do the same for you and you'll slowly but surely amass a legion of of honest raters who'll look forward to apraising your work.

As I said though, the problem's being looked into.

People will rate what catches their ears.....if people just like hats & riffs only then who are we to tell them to conform to what we like & what to rate? We take the rough with the smooth in music.....but hey you already knew that right?

Peace,

no need to be sarcastic, people should rate on the professionalism of how a track is put together not on personal taste

The point about people not getting the genre is a good one. For example, I don't like trance so never rate it, as I have nothing constructive to say about that kind of music, I leave the rating of it to those that do. My rule when rating is simple, If i dont like it whatever the genre, I dont rate it and I only rate tunes from 3 and above.

I think a good way for users to stop spamming bad ratings is to remove the feature allowing people to rate the track from the music page itself. they should have to click on the music to listen to it to have the ability to rate, but that's just my opinion :)

I actually believe its more a popularity type of thing. If you're well known throughout the site I've noticed that the person gets better ratings. It may or may not be true but its just something I've noticed from time to time. However, I do take the time to listen to a track and I try to provide the best constructive criticism because I know I'd like someone to do the same for me.

If i think a track is really good and/or i have been specifcally asked to give feedback on someone's track I leave a comment. I don't bother with the 5 star rating thing coz it doesnt really say wot u liked or disliked about the track and anything else u may want to tell the artist. Also, the 5 star rating thing cant give constructive criticism or anything.

sorry to hear about wot u have brought up Evil E. I can relate to it. fair amount of people just dont care. If I nothing good to say i wont say it. save upsetting anyone or else i always try and make it positive and drop a message instead of just calling it "good".

Yep... A lot of idiots on this site unfortunatly. I never give less than 3 stars, I always listen carefully and let them know my opinion about the music, which is always nice even if its not my type of music, I dont tell them it sucks ass LOL I just say well not my type but well put together. I think thats an email you should send to New folk joining GZP...
something like -
Hi (DJ or producer name), Welcome to GZP, I hope you will take the time to Listen carefully to other producers tunes and fairly Rate them. Give constructive feed back even if its not your type of music... Etc etc...
Something like that mabey?...
I will help out anyone that asks me, I just rarely have the time to go through so much music, But recently Ive done quite a bit, I rated and commented fairly, Im still waiting for folk to comment my stuff, I got the same low rating shit from a bunch of assholes too man... We all get that online, People think there sooo big n tough hidden away behind a Monitor LMFAO... Dumbasses!
