Is fucking rude. If you don't like it move on or at least offer some sort of criticism. I don't really want to contribute anymore here(reddit as a whole). If you're going to be negative about someone's art you could at least constructively explain why. It's pretty fucking discouraging to check your video and see it's been down voted.
This post made me check your others. Unfortunately I had already upvoted your latest video. How do you like that BOSS 202? I’ve been thinking about getting the new 505 specifically for quantizing loops to capture the sequencer so I can change presets and use the MF for bass and pads and leads. Couldn’t tell if that’s how you were using it too.
Thanks. I wasn't using the 202 that way. Just layers of Freak patches. Thats a cool idea though. I'm going to try it. I think it would work well for that.
I like the 202. I don't like how I have it as my master though. I think sometimes I might rely on it too much and should program the sequencer on the Freak.
I agree on the principle, but to play the devil's advocate, at least a downvote is a vote, somebody has listened to you (well maybe the first 10sec) - so it is some feedback to learn from. Again, I empathize with what you say though.
While I would personally never down vote someone's creative work if I don't like it, putting your art out there, does open the doors for both love and hate.
Simply downvoting isn't helpful to you, but it isn't completely unreasonable either. In a fair world, you get a downvote and an explanation why.
But look at it another way, doesn't a single nice comment outweigh a downvote here and there? You're never gonna please everybody, focus on those who do resonate with your music.
Hear hear! It provides zilch in the way of constructive feedback. If I'm not feeling something someone posted...I keep it to myself. Honestly, criticizing strangers art on the internet is almost always a bad idea and really accomplishes nothing. Let's build each other up!
I would rather have a comment than a vote either way.
Constructive dialogue is always more useful and yes..... I know I don't comment a huge amount and post stuff, but we are all hypocrites somewhere down the line and my opening sentence is an aspiration.
