how to improve this section...

Not read through all of this, so sorry if this is repeating.....

Set up server space. Sendspace etc are shite, I get blocked from it at work, loadsa them have porn ads (so NWS) and its generally off putting.

If you hosted tracks on BOA server it would make them easy to download, and give the opportunity to stream them all together as a sort of showcase, in case you don't have the time to go through each individual post and follow the links to where ever they may lead.

Make stuff easier to listen to and you'll find that more people listen. And the more people listen, the more likely people will be to comment.

Other than that I'd mainly leave things as they are.
Maybe just restate the put in - take out factor. If you want feedback on your tunes, give feedback to other people. Gain some visibility as a human being before asking a community of people to appraise your work as a producer. I find the people who will take the time to listen and comment on my tracks are the people I've been blethering with over the years and I have a connection with. If you are new, then contribute. It all comes back.

Really well said this and as a newbie on the production front I am very aware of this myself...

A person in my position would want to contribute in some way but may feel sadly lacking in experience, as agin others on the forum. Also access to the internet may be limited so involvement may be somewhat irregular...

It's finding a way to give feedback without just saying, 'I like this bit and that bit's dead good'... Sometimes you can sense what you've said is falling on deaf ears when there hasn't actually been any previous connection with the artist...

Which is fair do's but artists may genuinely want to nestle into the 'community' only to feel a wintry air...

As an observation, the point being that everyone has different starting points when they come into this part of the forum and perhaps allowances can be made for this... :)
