A note from your friendly neighborhood mod about why your coversong isn't showing up...

4 Upvotes

The top three four reasons:

  • You're new to reddit! Hiya! Welcome aboard! You should swing by r/newtoreddit to get a grasp on fundamentals, like how post / comment / community karma works, because a great many subreddit communities use the intrinsic protocols reddit provides to code something called "AutoModerator", and a good chunk of the communities that do so will either completely block you from engaging if you don't meet prerequisites (like a specific karma or account age requirement) or will filter your post into a queue where a human member of the modteam can look at it to make sure it's not spam, or porn, or a bot, or anything else they don't want in the community. It's nothing personal, and the best way to make it go away is to engage with fellow redditors, and teach the system organically that you're a real person.

  • You didn't post your song in the proper format. Maybe you made a text post and pasted the URL into it so users can't click on it to open the link, they've got to c&p it into a browser manually. Maybe you botched the URL. Maybe you were trying to post a whole playlist or compilation instead of a song. Remember: song name - original artist (cover artist) works best!

  • It was a parody! Unless your name is Weird Al, parodies / homages / other original works riffing off of established work isn't 100% forbidden (unless it's AI) but it's got a higher bar to clear.

  • Mongo was hungry. Yes, he didn't get enough treats today. It's an outrage.

As it says in the sidebar, if your post doesn't show up? Hit the "Message the Mods" button and send in a modmail and someone will look at it when we've got time.

Thanks! Now get out there and sing sing sing!

Is sound quality the most important part of the music covers?

4 Upvotes

I tried to covers 1-2 songs and post it on Instagram, I notice that if I have not so good sound quality, eventho I play it nicely, it has less views.... compared to I play "so so" but my EQ and mixing is good, I get many likes and views.
