I agree with all you say Brill and the others who commented. I also shout on lots of songs and in fairness I have to say that people are good in my direction with shouts. The weird ratio I seem to have perfected is that I get between 10 and 20 shouts on some songs, but the plays rarely go above 40-50. So in 'critical' terms I am a 'success' but in playing and commercial terms I stink to high heaven if I start comparisons.

However as we all know there is a core of people like us who
- listen to a lot of the songs that are cast AND
- shout encouragement and suggestions as much as we can.

Many users don't, at least until there's a RiffRumble when you get a spike followed by a downturn. Obviously we all have different circs and many people haven't time to hang around. But I do agree that more shouting is needed to promote community spirit and new friendships and collabs.

And finally, I don't think your music is mediocre Sir Ellis   It is consistently among the freshest and most diverse around. And your production skills are fantastic as can be evidenced by the CD you produced for me. And designed the art on, and wrote a song and collabbed on others and played at the launch gig. I suppose my only other cautionary comment if anyone cares is that if RW doesn't have a higher proportion of shouts and constructive feedback, the maker has no clear idea how their music might float commercially. 

If I had better understood the market, I would not have made and released the physical CD we worked on. There are 7 billion people in the world and I sold 7 CDs. So my ratio is 1 CD per billion   This isn't a 'poor me' comment before I get accused of that. Its just my personal learning that RW, ReverbNation, Facebook, iTunes, YouTube etc are hugely empowering tools that really mean that anyone can release music onto the worldwide web and try and interest some buyers. In the old days the economics of using recording studios and distributing physical records kept releases to a minimum. Nowadays anybody can enter the market, including cuckoos like me. So the marketplace is flooded, people are very careful what they actually pay for, the physical CD is dead, and people tell me cloud computing is next, whatever that is. Apparently I will be able to download and play songs on my fridge or cooker, although how I will carry them around on my back is another issue

So in summary, shouts really matter among the community. Otherwise releasing a cast that you worked your butt off can feel like a waste of time and effort. Particuarly if some newbie puts up 8 in a row pieces of them doing Metallica snatches... I often admit that I need to feel my music is appreciated to feel its worthwhile doing. Its a DNA fault to seek validation outside but whatcanyoudo. Others tell me you should enjoy making the music and everything else is irrelevant... but I don't buy that... surely the making of a cast by its nature is a gentle request by the musician for some kind of validation/stimulation/reaction from other people. Otherwise why do we cast at all? Its now your fault Brill that I have got qwerty diarohea   Over and out. Nurse Ratched awaits for my daily exercise...

Its actually officially Lord... check with mickeymix.

Who?

Hmm. I never heard of Lord Pelosi. I thought you were referring to a female US politician but whatwouldIknow

I love to shout dude. I love listening to the members music and seeing/hearing their progression and improvement and I think they deserve to hear that. That's the way I think and I am hopeful that others feel the same and take that extra few seconds to hopefully add a comment and the pinnacle would be to not be afraid to offend me, I am a big boy tell it to me straight. Uno 1 dude will say that sucked and you need to boost the vox or try this, initially it's like dam I thought it was good. But other will say yeah vox guitars etc good. so you get a balance of good and bad which actually stops your tunnel vision and you say to yourself well what if I did do what was suggested? sometimes it works, and sometimes it don't. You may like the new version or go with the old but It's another persons perspective and thats what I wanna hear about.  I think I am pretty lucky a lot of people actually leave comments on my cast's but it's all the guys that frequent here a lot, never any randoms really drop in and say anything but uno that's cool. I can deal with it. I don't think I can change anything or the way people want to interact here. I'll just go with the flow bro!

it does seem to me that its the same people doing most of the shouting most of the time,i have a lot of time so i try to hear all songs posted,i might not listen all the way through all the time but i do try to shout on all songs i enjoy or if i hear something i think might be improved upon i;ll let them know.And i hope people let me know when theres something i could improve on,i know theres been many times im the first to shout on the newer members songs,i only wish they would spend the time like all the people who posted here and shout,but since most dont even know what this forums for besides complaining ,i doubt they ever will. So i;ll keep on shoutin to whoever wants to listen.
