I also think that you're proficient in music just like I am. Now listen to this because here's where reality hits... it's not up for debate because it's the truth. I don't want you to take this the wrong way, and I'm not attacking you in any way possible, ok? I'm just looking out for you because I think you're proficient in music. You're just promoting it on the wrong site.
Now with that being said, here's the cold-hearted truth: This is not a good place to promote your music, man. The majority of these people do not have personalities, and I can tell you right now, the owner(s) of this site will not make a move to put your music or anyone else's on Pr2, trust me. You remind me of myself. I'm always trying to make things different or change the way people see things on this site. It's no use. These people are mindless zombies who do not give a damn.
Take it from me, my friend. Go promote your music on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, pandora, Youtube, etc. You'll get a lot more buzz there than you will, this dead-end site. Pr2 is officially dead. No one hardly ever plays that game anymore. Get your stuff copyrighted on https://www.copyright.gov if you haven't already.
If you really want people to listen to your stuff, then I would drop a few links in a blog and tell them to go migrate over there. That way they can keep track of you, by subscribing to your music or whatever, where you'll get a lot of buzz.
I'm impressed that you've managed to keep this thread going, so I'll give you props on that. But this is a small, dead-end community. Trust me, brother... I'm doing you a favor. Your talents are wasted here. Go to Quora or Reddit. I'm thinking about leaving one day, too.
First and foremost, i appreciate your honesty. i get exactly where you're coming from and understand your point of view. i don't see your comment as an 'attack' either. you're voicing your opinion, which i appreciate. but, i think you might of miss interpreted this thread.
I created this thread for the sole reason to share my love for the game via creating tracks for it. i never intended to make them so Ben will ''hopefully one day, might maybe perhaps, put them into the game so i would be famous'' or somethin' nah xD i just wanted to express my love for the game/give a 'token' of appreciation to what the game did to me. which was giving me many upon many wonderful memories.
If it looked like i was promoting my music here... well no. oops... that's not what i intended it to look like.
i was, however... confirmed of something that i wanted to know for the longest time regarding my music, on this thread. i got exactly what i wanted which is why i am very grateful to anyone who listened to my music here. especially grateful to Camer and Yomakoy because they helped me (maybe more than they know) archive what i wanted to know. muahahahaha :]
I have a DistroKid account which allows me to distribute (and monetize) my music. i'm just starting out with it though so i don't have many songs in it just yet because i don't have active listeners/a fanbase. so i'm taking it slowly. i know for a fact this stuff is going to take years to just begin to take off. perhaps an opportunity could show up to boost my career further and i might take it, who knows!
Also, i don't know about the 'these people are mindless zombies who do not give a damn' that's very uncalled for. Camer and Yomakoy have definitely commented positively on my music many times before (waaaaay more than i ever thought anyone would. period.) it's just that, you have to remember this website was made to both sustain/recreate Jiggmin's website, which is of a nearly 17-year-old flash game developer, who's most popular game (PR2) lost its fame by time many years ago, and now his old games are now, more remembered than played.
So don't worry, i'm not wasting my talents here. Talents are only wasted when they are not used, and right now, i am using them for something greater in the future. this thread, being an extension to said future.
