This was a post I did on some thread a couple of hours back. Thought it deserved its own blog or something.

I've had tons of people criticize my music. Like I always say, when people throw shit at you, you convert those poop to fuel.

But like I said. I've had tons of people critique me that most of what they say contradicts each other. This resulted in me choosing the people allowed to critique me. Now, hear me out. I don't go looking for yes men. I vehemently despise the though of myself being surrounded by worshipers. It makes me cringe. I'm looking for harsh critics, ones that aren't afraid to say "Your music sucks and you should kill yourself!" But I make sure that they give me something beneficial to work with. A suggestion, hints and tips, how certain things go, and the like. I only let experienced producers and musicians criticize me. And when I say experienced, I mean those who have been exposed to the field for more than 15 years since they actually know what they're talking about.

With that said, It has gotten me alot of good things. Rather than trying to take everyone's critiques, I only take the ones who are legitimate. Not just some musician that happens to have 10000 subscribers or something. If I could compare my current self from 5 years ago, doing this sort of routine has done wonders for me. I currently work for film producers, indie game developers, commercials and whatnot.

What do I do about those criticisms who aren't in my field? I disregard them since they lack the legitimacy. I mean, its good if your an amateur musician and you take criticisms from everyone, but when your planning on entering the professional world, the best option is to find proper and good criticisms is from professionals. And come to think of it, I don't know jack about reading music stuff.
