Help me find an online music criticism community?

June 19, 2007 10:24 AM

Are there other online communities like MeFi Music, where people can post songs and get feedback?

I apologize if this has been asked before... during my search, several times I thought "this is it!" but then it turned out to be about creative writing, or local music scenes, etc. (If this has been talked about, can someone point me there?)

I love MuFi, and would like to find out if there are similar sites where people post their original music and get criticism form other members.

Best answer: Garageband.com has been around for a long time now but I really like their design. They've improved since their early days, for sure. I've written well over a thousand reviews there and gotten some good feedback, comments, and connections in exchange.

There's Somesongs, which I think is affiliated with Songfight, although based on my experience there a couple of years ago I wouldn't recommend it.

If you are a Steinberg Cubase user the Cubase.Net forum Music Lounge does this kind of thing.

There's also the listen to my stuff section of the TapeOp message board. You can get some good recording advice there.

If you make electronic music, EM411 is a great place to go.

The Muses Muse songwriting forum. They have separate forums for lyrical critiques, lyric and music critiques, and instrumental. Also, a lot of great information and feedback on music in general, songwriting, etc.
