(Awww man! I wanted to jump in too! All the points are covered...) I just wanna say that the people who are "full of themselves" have been here for a while making music. It is not only just the fact that they have been here, but that they know everyone an they are all kinda friends. They can all help eachother out. AND they hav to spend time making music. AAANNNDD they also hav to help others. To me, they sou d like a bunch of busy helpful people. I think that what they have done is amazing and they deserve their spots. And while all of you are here, I would like to say that I really,love

I think I may have a solution: soundation.com/group/the-help-group

I agree with Cyclosa. I don't think that any of the top users would be where they are right now without a little bit of spamming. I still do it every once and a while. Sometime I will message some of the really well respected users (BackBonez, KE, BASS4ROG, Xephyr) and ask for some feedback on my songs just so I know how to improve for the next time I create one. However I'm starting to do that less and less as I'm feeling more confident as progress.

Dang it. I want to chime in here, but all the points have been covered.

There is also people like Bass4rog and cyberbit, who are waaaayyy better then the majority of people ahead of them. But why arent they? I have not seen a single spam message or comment from Either of them. Dont get me wrong many of the people on top users have earned the position they are in, (yes you audial) but a lot of them get more than they deserve. And no were not full of ourselves, were basically the "celebrities" of soundation ( kinda contradicted myself there but whatever) and we dont always have the time to help every single person who asks

Now see backbonez knows exactly what hes talking about. But being honest here speaking as one of the so called "popular users" or "top users" none of us would be anywhere without little spam, all your arguments have valid points. But seriously it semms like the game of soundation isnt as much about talent as it is the number of people and groups you spam. There are quite a few people including myself that in no way on earth deserve the position they are in. And then theres people like Underscored_, and Kracked Ekho (to name a few) that arent even on top users.

I've been wanting to learn how to play piano for that specific reason, to get better at melodies and keys. Thanks Audial.

There is a limit to what you can learn from the community, we can help with tips on mixing and synth design but everything else is pretty purely much self taught

Ok sure I see what you mean, I had formal music theory tuition so that was a great basis for me to start music production. If there is one thing you should do to help your production it is to have a go at learning some music theory, this can be done using youtube tutorials or by paying for tuition from a local music teacher, learning the piano is also exceptionally useful. Just learning to play a few songs will allow you to have better knowledge of keys/scales, melodies harmonies and rhythms.

No audial, i dont think "The popular users" are full of themselves, only most. and you are right. but only a handful of artists actually do help but that's not all the time though. and you also right about not getting paid, you do this because you love it. and you're again right about everybody being in that position, but can you tell me how users like me can learn without a teacher? because the odds of me getting help are not in my favor. And thank you for suggesting options for me to help with my music.
