We all like to get many reviews for our tracks. The more the better. The more reviews one gets, the better he can know how to improve the track.
Sadly enough, many people here do very little reviews for other people, and only check the replys to their own tracks.
We know it takes long to do many and decent reviews, but every review you do, will encourage other producers to do reviews for other people too, thus resulting in a system where everyone gives everyone good tips and guidelines for improvement.
We think this is something everyone would benefit from and it is possible for everyone to do some reviews now and then.
You don't have to use pro's terms or anything, just tell the producer what you do or don't like about the track, so saying you aren't familliar with all the terms isn't a good excuse 
Hope you all contribute to this system!
edit by Muad'Dib: the new rating system provides a precise state of quality of the uploaded tracks, so when you download a tune, please take time to review and rate it
And please accept the fact that the reviews here are rather different from what you see on other sites. Reviews tend to focus on negative aspects of the track, but this is only meant as constructive criticism and are definitely not meant as personal attacks.
The point is to try and help you improve your production skills and that only works by pointing out the negative aspects, so you know what can be improved.
If you can't handle negative criticism, don't post your tracks here!
Any personal attacks and retaliations will result in having your tracks removed and being banned from the site.

Surya, your text sounds maybe a little bit like a moral crusader 
but you are indisputable right... I would have said it likewise. Well I'd say everyone that agrees with this point of view has to act... this week I'll do my part, I promise

I will try to do so, but at work DnB isn´t always apreciated 
And when I come home I am mostly to tired and lazy to do that (or am doing listening to other music)
But I WILL try to give some comments on tracks! So maybe I can get some comments as well

A question to thecronic:

The thing just should be copied from the listen page...

Oh dear
I don't really see the point in having that info there
"Hey guys check out my new track "X", it's 5:41 minutes long, weighs 6.4MB and is encoded in 128 kbps!!"
See what I mean

ps surya is the worst offender, yet to hear one positive thing about any of my tunes, cud understand if you were making banging tunes yourself m8. sorry not being lame or nuthing just the way i see it |
I've read some of the reviews on your tracks, and to be honest I don't think they are that negative. U have to keep in mind that people will point out the "weaker" points in your track & pay less attention to things that are allready good in order to help u on how u could improve ur track & ur producing skills in general. About the tunes u call crap getting high ratings: it is not only about the sound, because that is a matter of taste, so there might be tracks u don't like at all but that are still well-made & therefore get a high score.

That's coz you're not a Producer, only people with Producer satus can read that forum. It's about a new rule that says you have to do a certain amount of decent reviews for every track you upload to this site (a function for which you need the Producer status)

Either the tune isn't that crappy after all, or the producer awards himself with the maximum score (quite lame offcourse)

Erm, you should pay more attention... I had an entry in each months Tune of the Month poll till now, I guess that means I am a producer after all
And reviews are no help if you can't learn from them, so you have to know what's wrong with a tune in order to be able to make progress. So I think it's quite obvious why I point out negative points in a track, but if there are things in a tune that I like, I will always mention them too.
You shouldn't feel offended, I'm just trying to help here. I wouldn't spend so much time reviewing every track just to offend people, that would be stupid.
