What its rules say about promotion
Do not promo your music in the comment section of another user's post
Promoting your music in the comment section of another user's post is not allowed. Linking your music is allowed if requested or part of the discussion.
All 10 rules of r/IndieMusicFeedback
- Comment on 5 songs before posting
Members must give quality feedback to 5 songs before posting a track. Each time you give 225 characters (around 3 sentences) of quality feedback, you are awarded 1 point. You can only gain 1 point per song, and you must gain 5 points before you can post your own song. **Comments need to be made on songs from the last few days.** Going back weeks or months will not count. - Feedback Quality: Be constructive and acknowledge subjectivity
Be constructive and acknowledge subjectivity by sharing specific insights that reflect your taste. If you think the song is perfect, highlight what moved you and what you loved, helping the artist recognize their strengths. If something didn’t work express your feelings subjectively while suggesting improvements; for instance, say, “I prefer vocals with more reverb for depth” vs “The dry vocals are terrible.” This fosters dialogue that supports the artist's growth while respecting their vision. - AI generated music is not allowed
If AI generated any significant part of the music, including the instrumental, melody, arrangement, or vocals, the submission is not allowed. Examples: * If you wrote the lyrics but generated the music, it is not allowed. * If you generated the vocals but produced the music, it is not allowed. Tools like a Vocaloid or other vocal synthesis programs are still allowed if you wrote the lyrics and melody yourself. - Using AI to generate feedback will result in a ban
We ask that all feedback is written by you. - Post one song at a time
