Following up on Richard's opening post;
Expecation management is key.
We still encourage you to post your productions of course

We'll be looking for ways to encourage you (and each other) to learn, create, produce and share your musical projects here; whether it is in a form of a competition or not.
The prizes are a nice extra but that shouldn't be the real take away for any of you

If the critique and lessons are valuable for you, I'll repeat what I wrote above:
expectation management is key.
If you post something, explicitly ask for feedback if you want it.
You want feedback on lyrics? guitar playing? tuning of the vocals? production value? vibe? originality?
Are there parts you -don't- want feedback on because it's obvious your mic isn't the best or your tuning was a bit off? mention it when you post
Keep playing and progressing.
Some day it might be back.
Perhaps in another form.
In the meantime, we're still the same forum.
Love you all,
LievenDV
