Song Critique

If you are interested in some free advice on how to make your lyrics, music, song writing, mixing better, consider visiting one of the links below. They are all free forums where you can post your song and or lyrics and have other songwriters listen and offer their opinion. All you have to do is return the favour. Listen to their songs and offer your opinion.

Friends and family will mostly say nice things about your music and they may or may not know the difference between a good song and a song that has room for improvement. For honest, informed opinions, these forums are the place to go. I’ve spent most of my time at the first link below, but I’ve had songs reviewed at the others as well.

Scoring Central Forum

Scoring Central - amateur composers forum
Scoring Central is a forum hosted by Mattias Westlund, creator of Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra. The forum is currently a small, friendly and supportive community. I can’t come up with a better description than that provided by Mattias himself so I’ll just quote him:

Scoring Central is a forum for all virtual orchestration enthusiasts; hobbyists, amateurs, semi-professionals and professionals alike. Here you can discuss everything from composing and music theory to sample libraries, plugins, DAW’s, audio interfaces, sampling, mixing and lots more. You are also welcome to post your own tracks in the User Music subforum.

I’m a moderator there and I visit the forum daily. If you want to discuss virtual orchestration, sampling, plugins, anything to do with making orchestral music using your computer along with free or low cost sample libraries and free or low cost VST plugins, the Scoring Central forum is a good place to do that.
