Audio Portal. Yeah, you can listen and vote and even leave a comment.
As a music creator, non-professional mind you, I may produce absolute shit and not realize it. However, sometimes I work really hard on stuff and when some of my songs seem to start doing well (which I get happy for) then they drop incredibly low. I feel like there's some NG asshole with high voting powers that stalks me (and maybe other people) just to vote 0 on everything.
Maybe I'm being paranoid.
The point is, I WANT to make awesome music. I think everyone does. But I CANNOT if no one EVER leaves comments to tell any of us how we did or what sucked or what needs to be considered next time. I'm not a fucking mind-reader here. If you absolutely hate my stuff and your brain is yelling at you to click the rating at ZERO, go ahead. It's free will. BUT PLEASE leave a comment and tell me why. I don't have the best equipment either! Maybe my headphones suck and what sounds to me like a masterpiece may sound like a whale taking a huge shit at the bottom of the ocean to you. Tell me!
Even if you like it! Some of my music does decent on here. That's great! But most of the time I'd like to know why! WHY did you like it? I can keep whatever it was in mind for my next piece.
If you're on the audio portal and you vote something, give us musicians feedback. 98% of us are not professionals. That's why we're on the internet. We'd really appreciate it. Especially me.
Thanks. :)

I vote seriously. :/ But I understand why you're frustrated. There are a bunch of people who just zero bomb any audio submission for fun and it really hurts the scores because of the few votes. I'll leave you some comments (I can't promise that they'll be good though) just to kind of make up for it. I don't visit the audio portal a lot but I do like it and I hate the way some people vote in there. I hope you keep being passionate about your music and that you get more fair reviews/votes.
Side note: I think some of the zero bombers are other people who submit audio. I'm not sure about this, but it kind of makes sense since they're more likely to know about other artists.

I've thought the same thing! I've wondered if people try to "kill the competition" and zero-bomb us. I mean, it's great if your get on the top 5, but it shouldn't be a competition. We're all musicians here.
