For a long time there were furtive discussions running around in pm`s actually discussing if you were aware of the amazing talent pool that has been through this place in the last 5 years.
I`ve seen this place go up and down, and I`ve always kept an eye on it, although in the last year I`ve been less involved in the production tips etc.
And, nothing is going on now, that hasn`t already happened, or will happen again, look at what your own mod has already said on the matter.
So cool, Rythm gets to be mod no.3, and he`ll instigate some new things like mod 1, and then mod 2 did, with enthusiasm and the best of intentions, and they in turn will fizzle out and back again with the tides of this place.
Now I don`t mean any of this in a negative way at all, all I mean, is that this place is fine, and very healthy, and has a life of it`s own. New producers will turn up, they`ll develop their own little community here, learn enough to make their own way, and then move on. Then a new bunch will turn up, and on and on, just like it has been. Some of us will hang around, keep an eye on the new kids, spot some potential in some of them, and give em some advice.
Those that show no potential generally float away after a while.
But it`s all tinkering, the basic mechanics are essentially this.
New producers posting tunes to get some advice, or to expose themselves to an audience.
Reasonably to well experienced producers seeking fine tuning help and/or confirmation of problems they themselves have spotted.
People who need a little ego boost by posting their tunes, wanting a pat on the back, and then moaning when given production advice, or when flaws in production are pointed out.
Those with similar ideals and tastes tend to hook up outside the site for collaborations and stuff.
That`s about it, you can post some remix competitions, and these have been done many many times, but eventually they fizzle out with waning interest.
I`m willing to bet come september-ish, things will pick up in here again, and activity will rise.
Now it`s no critisism really aimed at the new mod or you, but you`ll see, if you come back regularly, that this place has it`s own rythm.
