And CosmicDolphin, I thought I told you and your troll cronies not to reply to my posts.
Well, had I known that was directed at me I probably would have made doubly sure to reply. You have the option to mute other members in the forum account settings using the friends/foes option, probably more effective than hinting at who can or can't reply and then it being ignored.

Unless of course you care to elaborate on and share with all of us on how and what you have "already seen" with your pre-emptive trolling with the previous topic.
Sure
" You will see , I have already seen " is a slight mis-quote of a character from a TV show. The full quote by the character called Cassandra is " We shall see, or rather, you shall see; I have already seen."
From Wikipedia : Cassandra or Kassandra, was a Trojan priestess of Apollo in Greek mythology cursed to utter true prophecies, but never to be believed. In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate someone whose accurate prophecies are not believed.
So with 10+ years on the forum and 6 years of experience of music licensing plus all the years watching Taxi TV and other Sync Licensing channels/podcasts etc. I've noticed certain patterns that repeat themselves and tell us a lot about the prospects or otherwise of those new to the industry. Enough for me to be able to tell with some degreee of accuracy which 'path' people are on and whether it's likely to get them where they want to go.
When I listen to the music and I know from personal experiemce it isn't what Libraries would sign but the member responds to the Screener feedback with statements like I've pasted below, I've basically heard it all before.
Your reaction is very similar to others I've seen come and go over the years who find out they aren't up to scratch, but instead of doing something about it get all defensive. The same excuses, reactions, blaming others and thinking that the industry is wrong in it's assesment or corrupt and should somehow change to suit them and not the other way around.
They tend not to accept that it's them that need to change and usually leave after a couple of years of very few forwards telling anyone who listens that Taxi sucks and is some sort of scam.

"wasn't catchy enough / That's not really the goal of these two songs "
"most songs that I write have non-standard structures to them"
" These are the kinds of songs ( non standard structure ) that are most interesting to me usually "
"I'm not really too concerned about this feedback."
"There are tuning, rhythm, or dissonance issues". The song "Beauty" definitely has a non-standard rhythm to it in places, but I'm not hearing the reasoning behind this. "
----------------------
So yes. Have seen / heard it all before - that's not to say that people can't change and improve , many have and many still do.
Just remember, they want what they want. So best to give them what they want or you won't get very far. Oh, one more thing....I predict you won't believe me.
