I think I should change this thread title to:
"13 requests for feedback on 13 works in progress in one thread with 26000 views and 10 comments"
I know that those views don't necessarily translate to listens. My play counts confirm this, as they tend to be pretty low as well.
That's all fine, and par for the course, I guess, but what gives? I try to, but I know that I don't always listen to or comment on everybody's tracks either, but 26000 views??? I though that I would be making it easy for people by posting works in progress in one thread. Is this the wrong approach? Maybe part of the reason that I never finish a work in progress is lack of feedback, interest, encouragement, etc.
I am pretty okay with that because I am just a hobbyist and each track is just an exercise. There are 60 unfinished tracks at my soundcloud, btw. The truth is, I don't think I have ever finished a track. Maybe I will someday...if someone likes it enough. If not, I will keep making sketches, abandoning them, and moving on to the next. Each is a lesson, and it's the process that I tend to enjoy. It's my version of golf, or video games. It is just what I enjoy doing with my spare time. Yes, I need to be more disciplined, and self motivated. Yes, I should make a practice of completing tracks. I always thought that my tracks would benefit from collaboration, but if I can't even generate feedback, I am sure that it is equally unlikely that I will ever generate interest in a colab. I just don't know what all those views are about if no one is listening. Maybe I shouldn't bother posting tracks here, or maybe going forward I will make a new post for each track. Either way, this is not as much a whine as it is shock about the view count of this thread...and lack of supporting listens and feedback. If you think that I am full of it, please feel free to let me have it. Any commentary at all would be appreciated over nothing.
