Did anyone noticed that lately there are very few listing were taxi will give a criticque!! I am sure that at one time there were many more listings were taxi was prepeered to give a critique.It was really helpful at time for me. I would send a track fully knowing that it would be returned just for the criticque!!Anyone can explain.RegardsTINO

Dont understand why, Tino. Someone mentioned time but I see listings that appeared on May 1st due in June and yet they are Y/N listings. Me personally, I think I am going to submit only to listings with critique from now on.

But don't forget that you get a mini critique now. I've had some really useful comments on those.Georgie

Yes George,but its no quite the same,they are very general and basic, expecially for people like me that needs as much help as possible!!TINO

P2P = the best critiques ever! ^_^

I'm with K.O. on this, the P2P forum has been the most useful thing with my Taxi membership. I struggle with many of the listings as there are simply common themes throughout each and every new sheet- If you sound like the Kings of Leon you have a ton to submit to, only problem for me is I have never heard of them (God Bless YouTube). Like BrindaBella I have chosen to only submit to those that offer a full critique for awhile, unless I see a listing with my own name in it

I got a couple of returns that were listed as y/n, but they had brief critiques anyway.

Yeah, I agree. I think I'll only be submitting to full critque listings from here on.I submitted a song to the "ORIGINAL SOUTH AFRICAN FOLK INSTRUMENTALS" listing. I colaborated with South African guitarist Llew Pearce, who toured throughout the world playing South African music with South Africans. We debated for a while on what South African Folk Instrumentals could mean, and we finally settled on the folky-funk you hear on every street corner in Johannesburg. Our song, Mbaqanga Stomp, was returned because "It could have sounded more authentic."And of course, it was a YES/NO, so all I got was that one sentence explanation.Well, tell me my production wasn't up to par.Tell me I suck as a bassist.But to tell me that a South African songwriter can't write an authentic South African folk song doesn't really ring true to me.Didn't mean to rant, just to say I agree that YES/NO listings really seem to be a waste of time, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.JeremyI'd love to get feedback of any kind on this piece, because I think it's great, well-produced and very appropriate for the listing, yet it was returned, and I'm just trying to figure out why.www.jeremybirdsall.com/MUSIC.htmlMbaqanga Stomp is the first track.
