What number is that screener?
Sounds like # 419!!!!!!!!!!!!
419 is hard, which is a good thing. And while I have had many returns from 419, one of the forwards turned into a deal and then a placement.
Personally I'm thankful for all the returns, you have to learn, improve, and keep plugging away! Heed the advice, it will only help down the roadπŸ‘

If you think Taxi screeners are rough, try Submithub, and you may experience a whole new dimension of rough! :lol:

My initial thought was that Submithub was a place to go to have doms screaming at you "submit! submit!" :lol:

Totally agree with you! The screeners are industry pros, so, as much as it's hard to get a return, it's a chance to learn and grow, and each "no" gets you one step closer to a "yes."

The only thing I have spotted where I think they could be more helpful is if they like the song , but its the wrong style , they could suggest what style may be appropriate , I got this back " I appreciate the drive and groove of your composition " Looking back " Francis. The melodies and top line are engaging and overall I enjoyed this " it then says a " none starter " because of the style .

I hear ya but keep in mind that their job, in a reasonably limited about of time, is to decide whether a track fits THAT particular listing. Learning genres and styles is a huge part of being in this business and that's really on you. And the listings have reference tracks which are key to getting an idea of what is being asked for.

Best thing to do is post your track on this forum in peer-to-peer and ask questions in your post. Make sure you post the entire text of the listing (not a link to it as your original link won't work once the listing is expired). Posting before you submit is very helpful as others will give you opinions on whether or not it fits the listing, suggested improvements, etc. Posting after can also shed additional light on what the screener's feedback was.

Another option if you still need more help on your track is to submit for a custom critique ($20). Include your questions and what you are targeting when submitting. These custom critiques are very detailed with tons more info than a standard listing submission.

Yes quite , time will be tight . I did try peer to peer and as a new member was surprised to be trolled , he was gratuitous and belligerent , I got a private message from someone who said he is a troll and best stay away from him , I dont mind constructive criticism . I will try peer to peer from time to time as I am having unexpected probs with genre . Thanks for the advice . Frank .
