How Do You Get Feedback to Improve Your Tracks, Especially Cross-Genre?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot about how valuable feedback is in improving music, especially when it comes from outside your usual genre.

I’m currently working on something called Beat Critique (beatcritique dot co), a platform to connect producers with pros across genres for detailed critiques. It’s in pre-launch right now—full access starts January 15th, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Do you actively seek out feedback from different genres, or do you focus on sticking to your niche? What do you think makes feedback truly actionable?

Looking forward to hearing your ideas and experiences. Thanks!

So is it to get musicians with producers, or is it a site to get feedback on your music?
I assume you want it to be for more professional type of stuff, kind if like how Artstation is for visual art, but instead of portfolios its critique.

If so Its a cool idea but I wonder how you’ll be able to get enough of those type of people in one place thats not discord or reddit.
And I’m not fully understanding your questions on feedback.

what up y’all, check out our listening booth

The problem with building a site specifically for producers or other musicians to get feedback on their music is that due to the sheer overwhelming number of people sharing music and wanting feedback, it would become a dumping ground very quickly.

Kind of like Reddit…and SoundCloud for that matter.

The advantage of a place like idmforums.com, is that we moderate who can post music. This creates community of trust and value. So people looking for feedback will get a more respectful, comprehensive and honest opinion.

That’s what makes feedback truly actionable
