yup F1 YA  it is like a test and the teacher is not grading the paper instead you have students grading students i got a few of those bull type comments on my beat and it was a blend type check it out in the feed back slliks67 (I can dream cant I) let me know what you think here or there I left very constructive criticism and mugs just straight dissed me no cool where is your beat so i can check it out also i would rather have creative feedback instead of wtf? and such give a cat motivation

what up here is a suggestion i feel as though your system needs to only go to a rating of below average because the others are not really called for and 1 can take it personally I would think with all your experience this would have been in your thought process REMEMBER BEGINNERS i say this because i was a victim of a trash rating on a Martin Luther King blend with  a beat I made and I feel it is far from trash or weak i would like for you to check it out and let me know one cat even said the time stretchin was horrible and I did'nt even use time stretching so let me know slliks67 (i can dream cant i) name of song I would appreciate it thanks

This is not the point....i know, what kind of peolple are rating here...most of them hast not much more experience than oneself...but the thing in my opinion is that the people shoudl not rate if they only say "man thats ish"....

My thounght was about GIVING INTENTIONS! I don't expect to get feed only by some pros here...but when u say it's trash...say what u would change to make it sound better...whether u have some idea of what u talking or not...is not important...cause u try the suggestions anyway...and often U get som kick out of som small notions...like drop this note oder put in here som strings or som like that...For such a suggestion u don't have to be a pro...it's all about creativity and ideas...and it's regartdless whether they are from a pro here or a noob...and in the end it'S up tu U what u make out of this ideas...

This is not a complain about negativ crit...cause only with negative crit u get better...but the crit should mention what is so weak about ur production in theire opinion...

I think this is what a feedback is about...and not "hm"..."trash"...."stop doin music"...

When 99% of the comments sounds like this...which good crit, regardless whether its negative oder positiv, du u want to extract out ouf this....THIS IS MY COMPLAIN here....

Im sure your still working on this, but my beat count is still off, it shows i have 4 beats and i only have 3, i deleted a beat, and the count didnt change. Also the Volume parameter is still off on the mp3 player on the voting page. It shows that you can turn up the volume, but in actuallity its at max to start and anything past that is over 100% volume and the track distorts.

EDIT: Volume Parameter is ok now with the new player! Thanks!

I also think the Anonymous feedback should be unchecked by default. I'm not afraid to let peeps know who i am when commenting and in most cases others should be willing to put their name out too, unless they are not confident in their own abilities to judge. I personally will probably just ignore all feedback posted as anonymous because if i don't know who you are then who are you to say how may beat sounds, there are a lot of newbies on this site and people posting feed just so they can post a beat.

If you've been making beats for sometime, and you are confident in yourself and your abilities, then why would you be afraid to post your name with the feedback? *this is for all you old timers that are choosing to post anonymous, don't be scared to put your name out there, it gives a lot more credibility to the feed. I mention this because on my last beat i got 4 votes with feedback 2 were good and 2 were bad, all 4 were posted anonymous, so basically i got no feed because i dont know who is who and who is more likely to know what they are talking about :(

The feedback system is great, but i do see what F1 Ya is talkin about, ppl sometimes say ur style is cool, or recently i got was "wasn't feeling the compo but i like ur instruments"...which ain't bad i mean i can get a general idea of what i might be able to change....like it was said above, gotta learn to take criticism even if some1 is rating u harshly...

But all said an done, I have recently seen websites where I applied for jobs and when you write in your duties for it it'd say "MUST WRITE 50 WORDS MINIMUM"...was wondering if thats possible or something along those lines to increase feedback. 

The new feedback system is awesome NFX, nice job!

I agree.  The rating system is sweet and I trust this community's opinions!

I would like to express my veiwpoint:

People, constructive criticism, whether it's "good" or "bad", doesn't have to be taken personally, if you remain detached from your feelings and what you do.

When a person is giving you feedback, they're giving you knowledge based on what they know or what they've been taught to like. It has NOTHING to do with you! Only when you learn how to detach yourself, you'll stop taking things personally on everything. Heck, you won't even notice the criticism or insults if you do detach yourself. It won't really phase you.

People need to realize that it's not the negative criticsim that helps you get better, its the information part of it that does. Contrary to what you all may believe, not all negative feedback is beneficial, period. Some people just hate a song for what ever reason, and they'll try to complain to you, making you feel bad, so they'll like it. Even if they do give you negative feedback, you don't have to view it that way. A viewpoint is just being expressed. Nothing & no one can really make you feel bad, unless you choose to. It's your choice on how you respond, ALWAYS!

It's important that you keep an open mind! See if their criticism truly has value to you. Look for information. If it doesn't have value, then you can forget it and move on. If it does, then take in the information and use it to improve your tracks, but you don't have to beat yourself up. Even if 90% of the feedback says your song is trash, that doesn't mean its the end of your beat career. If you want to thrive in making music, you have to accept the fact that not everyone is going to like your beats. You can't please everyone, and thats OK!

Overall, I think the feedback system is a great addition to Warbeats. I think it gives people's beats more exposure. Thank you NFX!
