i would like to really know who thought nominating already featured artists is a good idea when we have a relatively larger pool of users to choose from as is
most people here stick to their favorite artists and promote them more than lesser known individuals actually well-versed in the studio
last thing needed is bias just geared to benefit the same people relevant here, but that's just my take
Ever since I started on Audiotool, I wanted to improve my songs, but come to think of when it comes featuring me on here, I don't see it happening unless it's someone in my friends group that promotes me and such. I think it would be great that one day someone nominates me because I've worked very hard to help others in this widespread community as well as improving my well-being with my own music.
And I've witnessed so much happening from the beginning I started on Audiotool to now. That's been about 6 years from now. You all know that I will do what it takes to make Audiotool a safe and more accesible community. Although I do put the website's achievements to great regard because it's also helped my fanbase, and myself included. So I do appreciate everything that this website and my fans give back to me. I didn't wanna make this about me, but make it more about my opinion. Because I have struggled to say this for a very long time and all.
If the previous featured artists have anything in common, it's that they have never spoken on the subject before it was their turn. Be patient and stop finding this so obviously important and you will surely get your turn. So many talented musicians are still to come, why not you as one of them?
I am being patient, and I think everyone should get a turn. However, I just wanted to put this out there because it is something I've been struggling with. I think this survey is a good way for people to grow and understand each other. I have no issues with it.
Besides the honor for the respective artist, the Featured Artist is also a tool we use to show the outside world how interesting and diverse our community is. If this means that sometimes people are featured who have already been featured or are no longer so active on Audiotool, then it serves a purpose. Nevertheless, the featured artist will always continue and everyone will have their appearance. Just look at how long some of the artists were active before the time came. Or how long Martin Scorsese had to wait for his first Oscar.
seriously man you dont know much that makes me happy- just knowing y'all appreciate me here in this community really makes me wanna get all emotional- i never thought i'd get so far here in the audiotool community
getting nominated for something was just one of those silly thoughts that ravaged my head for a long, long time, and seeing even just one person who thought of nominating me for something like this really made my day in a way like no other hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnjtnhj
sorry for the cheesy reply, I'm just- very very thankful of y'all and this community :'>
and your take is respectable non, i know it'll be nicer to see lesser known artists get recognition, but most people usually do favor for the more known users, which is understandable since there's still a lot of users that hasn't gotten a featured artist yet (case in point sky bound zoo and heissen)
so while i also advocate for lesser known users to get a feature, it's gonna be a unanimous decision that people are gonna choose the bigger and well known blokes to be nominated
I understand what you are saying but still think that the mixture is well balanced. However, I will take your advice to heart and try to pay more attention to it after this round.
you don't need to be featured when you can set your own personal growth and goals
one can grow off the feedback of others surely, but one doesn't need others to validate how good they are
it's nothing to worry about as long as you make yourself happy out of what you enjoy doing
i got by mostly self teaching, experimenting, and some occasional assistance and i think im pretty satisfied with what i can do, but i can understand your case
Yeah, I do enjoy what I am doing a lot. I just tend to look down on myself because I don't have quite a realistic approach or goal to things. Just to clarify, I'm gonna be fine. I'm happy for everyone, and want to see people grow.
On one hand I can understand wanting newer or less popular artists to shine through.
However, you can't expect people to always go out of their way to find them. No matter how hard everyone tries there's always going to be a bias, but I don't think that fact makes it any less likely for less popular people to get featured, because in the end of the day once people start nominating and ones name is on the list, everyone has decent chances. Having your name there doesn't only mean that you have a chance to get featured but a more decent chance for people to check out what you make.
I wasn't here when this was going on but I was no joke thinking about nominating you if this happened again. Looks like I missed this chance, but I will be here next time. I will make SURE your name is up there man. Me and titik we talking in discord about how you need a feature, you're just too underrated in this community
Titik
Realize your worth. You are gold in this community
You too imthing2
You both need to understand your importance on this site. I quite literally can't imagine not having you two here
I get it. You have goals. We all do. Goals take a long time to accomplish is all. I say to every comment here: just let time take over. Don't fuss. Focus on the small things
well i said this mainly not in regards to new users but the fact that we have people who were featured in the past being nominated as we speak
i'd rather see the less obvious going on
lesser known users are more or less a personal preference, but i don't want the gist of this to be just the same people already under the spotlight getting the spotlight even more
i did state in my first comment that people stick to their favorite artists and i am aware i can't control that
I should also point out the last "people's choice" vote results influenced the 303 contest results which was already questionable in itself
some may disagree but i am committing to this said
I think that might be because they were going on in the same timeframe as you said so that might have just influenced people's decisions
But then again could be a coincidence
yes i do but even that all of them should have like a little thing of their own to where they present themselves to the community and us giving thank to what they maintained over the years
You're active, even if it's not all audiotool.
Maybe not this go around, but it would be great to here some of your insight to music making sometime. Love ya, https://www.audiotool.com/user/acloudyskye/

@tikowun &@tmthing2 you're both really appreciated in this community, hope you know that!

That's all I wanted to say, I apologize if it comes off as self assertive. I did not intend it that way.
All good

for icebox it only took over a year for him to get featured lol

Maybe I should delete this thread because it might seem misleading from the first thing I posted in this thread

Realize your worth. You are gold in this community
You too imthing2
You both need to understand your importance on this site. I quite literally can't imagine not having you two here
And since it won't lemme edit the comment, you all have to keep scrolling through as the thread keeps growing
I think you shouldn't
We're only discussing here afterall.
I get it. You have goals. We all do. Goals take a long time to accomplish is all. I say to every comment here: just let time take over. Don't fuss. Focus on the small things
@Moderator
Is it possible to give my spot to someone?
Just curious.
No but you don’t have to accept. No problem
rip
Oh, I do accept, I was just curious. Thank you!
Accept I did
i accept
i DO know my worth
i just never thought someone would actually say to me that "you belong in this community and you're worth so much here"
its that kind of comment i never gotten from other communities, that i always wanted to hear just from one laddie
and knowing some of y'all really do see my worth here only makes me feel even happier being apart of the audiotool community hh
welp, maybe I'll have better luck next time around :'D
hurakan should get the feature
hh
well i said this mainly not in regards to new users but the fact that we have people who were featured in the past being nominated as we speak
i'd rather see the less obvious going on
lesser known users are more or less a personal preference, but i don't want the gist of this to be just the same people already under the spotlight getting the spotlight even more
i did state in my first comment that people stick to their favorite artists and i am aware i can't control that
I do get your concern, and I also think that's a problem.
However getting rid of the ability to nominate the same people would also be quite problematic.
I should also point out the last "people's choice" vote results influenced the 303 contest results which was already questionable in itself
some may disagree but i am committing to this said
both were ongoing in the same time frame
I didn't keep up with that contest (neither did I vote on or keep up with the last people's choice) so I wouldn't know
let's just say rai won the poll
and coincidentally won the contest following
the contest voting phase was also inconveniently placed
I think that might be because they were going on in the same timeframe as you said so that might have just influenced people's decisions
But then again could be a coincidence
fam no i am trying to get out of this dollar store
The heck? Jetdarc can't get a nomination?
im i still a nominee?
@moderator
Yes. You accepted don’t you?
yes just making sure im a lil slow
In the original board post is the list of nominees
ok thank you
@jadiel_s accept bro
@moderator seb said they accept lmao
imthing2 hates me for no reason
but yes lmao
https://www.audiotool.com/board/news/featured_artist_jetdarc
Ah. I see. I am 50 shades of idiot now.
i dont like you because you are annoying souls
lol
igh
i WAS annoying lol
high ass voice souls now has deep voice and is funny
im talking about the way you act not your voice
i know lmao i aint startin no drama anymore
mhmmm??
i think he has to do it himself
they did
oki
How did this go from congratulating two extraordinary artists to talking about how annoying souls is.
Wtf people
Ratio
Jxhdjskdgdnfk
Rekt
average audiotool comment section hurakan
no
haa haa lol
Very
no elow
i aint ready for this anyway kinda glad the 1 yr thing is there lmao
i met all the expectations besides that but i haven't showed the best i CAN be
and 4 more months till a year
First question for your interview: How do you feel as someone because of whom the 1-year rule was introduced?
So only @heisten and @acloudyskye missing. Can someone contact them on another way?
The election will start tomorrow
i dm'd heis on ig
So anyways, both of these artists are cool.
agreed
dang i think naswalt should get it tbh
cool.
naswalt was featured
pls link
oh
No he means that naswalt has been featured before so he can't get featured again
exactly
https://www.audiotool.com/album/ug017unqc/
yes ik
https://www.audiotool.com/board/news/naswalt
question 2?
quetsion 2: are you real
yes
I accept
i accept my bad i've been busy
@heisten say it here
whoops I accept
@neffmau5 is missing too
hi
I accept
hell yes to pixus <3
i decline, would be much better for active artists here to get featured.
BUM :(
sad :(
i choose @moderator to be a nominee idc if its over
First of all Moderator is not a person and second it's not a problem if we only have 17 from 20 artists in the game.
but the @moderator 's are cool and al the things they do for this website they need true recognization
Have you considered whether the moderators might be users themselves, who may even have had their own feature in the past?
yes i do but even that all of them should have like a little thing of their own to where they present themselves to the community and us giving thank to what they maintained over the years
Ok got you
👌
are we allowed to vote for other people?
You are the only one who nominated himself so I would guess voting for others is the original concept
ok will do
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh
🤨
You're active, even if it's not all audiotool.
Maybe not this go around, but it would be great to here some of your insight to music making sometime. Love ya, https://www.audiotool.com/user/acloudyskye/
is @andremichelle a mod bc he has featured artist
but anyways i vote @audiotool
