A Note from your Community Director

By MattConley

Hi everyone!

Firstly, I want to extend a warm welcome to all of the new artists who have recently joined our community. In the past few days we have had tons and tons of new users, and so many outstanding records of all kinds have been contributed to the site. There is such an abundance of awesome new records to explore, making for a very, very exciting time!

And with such an enormous influx of new community members contributing, recommending, and remixing records, there’s certainly going to be a bit of a learning curve for all the new artists on here to get fully immersed in how we do what we do here. Cause - let’s be honest - it’s a pretty unique way of making art, and it can take some getting used to!

All that being said, we want to work on making it even easier for new users to get familiar faster with the site and how to contribute to all the creative projects everyone’s working on together.

So, we’re in the process of finalizing some initiatives (both short-term and long-term) about all the kinds of ways we (and everyone on the site) can help get all the new artists on the site even more familiar with our creative process and the site’s feature sets. Some things we are discussing include:

Producing some videos walking through a variety of best practices (how to contribute records, how to make challenges, how to start projects, etc.) and tutorials that walk through some site features step-by-step.

Making it easier to flag records on the site that may contain copyright material.

…in the meantime, if you come across anything you think includes copyright material, please add into an album, and contribute your album HERE.)

Developing ideas for new feature sets into the site that help to make interacting with the site easier.

And throughout this process, we want to hear from all of you! Please share your ideas in the comments below, and we can all work together to make the experience here better than ever.

Thanks - and see you around the site!

- MC
