Split this forum?
Any mods out there, can you discuss this option between you higher up types…
Basically I just want to check out peoples tracks and I couldnt care less about mixes, Im guessing theres others like me too.
So it would be nice to see the forum split into 1) Mixes and 2) Productions
Thanks
Hello mate - long time no see.
I’ve always thought it was weird cos there’s a music production forum as well, should be in there & just mixes in here
I sort of agree with this. Peoples’ original tracks get lost after a day or two under loads of mixes (and there tend to be a lot more of them).
This would surely yield benefits to both producers and DJs, as well as their audiences.
Would enable people to search for a certain type or genre of content using the search function in their desired forum.
Would make browsing much easier. It’s not always obvious whether a submission is a DJ set or a production.
Simpler to moderate: currently the rules (ie. length of mix) apply to some threads (ie. mixes) but not others (productions).
Podcasts or tracks would have a longer half-life near the top of the pile, gaining more views and comments/critique.
Gaining more views/comments could encourage more people to post their work.
It’s logical: I seek and listen to mixes mostly for enjoyment, whereas I generally search for tracks in order to use them.
Cons:
Would require considerable work to implement the change. (I have no idea how much.)
Increased activity may require more moderator work.
May increase server load or other technical strain.
Are there any other cons?
IMO this change would significantly improve the environment for sharing and discussing musical works, and potentially increase the amount of networking and musical interaction on the forum.
I agree. There’s actually a small but growing little community of producers here that help each other out and it would be a lot more beneficial I think if tracks didn’t get lost after 12 hours due to the high volume of mixes being posted.
e/ Also as the above user asked, it’s not too tough to create a subforum.. I used to run a few forums myself. Although I don’t know the chain of command this specific forum would have to go through in order to do it.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
i agree
Us producers need a better sub forum
We actually listen to others stuff, not just hit and run like all these djs who just post mixes 
I agree with all that has been said above.
Just posting to say I also agree with everything posted
Just to re-add my voice to this idea
the change should not take more then half hour… as for moderating it, it should not be too much extra work. I am on a number of forums and they all have split forums for mixes and productions
I’m glad some people seem to be on board with this idea.
Just so you know, in the other thread in the suggestions subforum, a moderator (Jester) has said that this issue has been “passed on”.
Yeah a production only i.e. originals, remixes, bootlegs, mashups thread would be nice. I prefer to listen to peoples originals rather then a hour dj set. Sorting through the current one looking for originals becomes a pain.
Sounds like a good idea, i just come here for the mixtapes.
Unless you take into account sorting 14k threads into the right new section. Either way, it’s being debated by the team now and I agree it’s quite a pain to browse this subforum as it is now.
It can always be done the lazy way… Leave the old threads be and let the new sub forum start fresh 
!
Not on my watch 
Personally, I would go back about 10-20 pages to be safe and transfer that material. Anything older than that is archive worthy I don’t see any old threads coming out of the woodwork in that section.
If there are any repetitive tasks such as deciding whether a submission is a mix or a track, I would volunteer to help. I have a considerable amount of free time.
