Elvis Valentine Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey folks, can someone do me a favour and check if the link to my tune goes to the vocal mix or not. The address is right but when i click on it it takes me to the instrumental which is really annoying as its the vocal mix that is the entry. Thanks in advance my lovelies. I've still not cast my vote. Its toooo hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a slip-up there, son. The main track is without vox, although there is a smaller sub-link to the vox mix version lower right (which I hadn't noticed or listened to before...). Claim your money back..? Nice track, but better still with vox, I agree. A bit of a shame, there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Oh god, I am going to get judged, labelled and killed for this, this could be the end of any reputation I may have on Basschat Am I wrong for pointing this out? .. There have been 78 votes. That indicates to me that there have been 78 people who should have heard ALL of the entries before voting. Some which have been available to hear for a while obviously have stats indicating listens before voting started, some have very many and some have very few. Some clearly were uploaded close to the voting start date and obviously don't have many. HOWEVER, there is RockfordStone's which has a total number of listens which is less than 78, AND he has no votes, this would indicate that not all voters are listening to all the tracks before voting. Another thing that springs to mind is that MAYBE some voters are only listening to tracks with some votes and not listening to tracks with very few or no votes, perhaps thinking that they may not be worth hearing. Also, not many of the tracks have more than 78 listens this week and voting started at near midnight on Saturday. I THINK this appears to be a bit odd, BUT have I missed something critical? Sorry if this sounds like I'm being very negative, but I already know at least one person has been skipping through each track if they aren't initially grabbed by the music, and if I found out people were voting without hearing all the tracks, I'd be very severely disappointed in them. And I already am on behalf of RockfordStone whose track was uploaded 8 days ago! Anyway, whatever, best of luck to everyone who entered, and massive big up for making so much effort, I hope the voters make that same effort to listen properly.

xilddx Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Oh f***, what happened to the poll? Charic I did not want this to f*** anything up, I just felt everyone deserves the respect of a proper listen before voting and wanted to point out an anomaly. Sorry all. Perhaps I should have kept my gob shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krysh Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 no, I'm with you nigel. I also find it strange that some songs don't have the minimum amounts of plays as the number of votes. but now even the poll is gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Houghton Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Site just completely crashed on me for 10 mins, but ok now? I reckon because of the like button which i have just clocked posts this on facebook, twitter posts, souncloud plugs e.t.c., people who are friends of people on here will just join site and vote for their mates. Thats why there arent many listens to some tracks, also i am guilty of if i listen a track and it doesnt connect with me in first couple of mins i move on. Which is fair enough i dont mean that in a negative way, but probably answers Silddx question earlier.

discreet Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think it may be unreasonable to ask yer average punter to listen to fifteen tracks in their entirety and decide which is the best one. I'm willing to bet that not even all the entrants will have listened forensically to every track! Music is not the be all and end all for everyone, not even on a musician's forum. And especially not a bass players' forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
