It is difficult Boydie and the more criteria there are, the more of a minefield it becomes.
I completely agree, which is why it would be impossible to put any guidelines to it so there would need to be a judgement call of some type
I think "pitchable quality" would be a useful benchmark, which is usually along the lines of:
"Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine)."
If we move forward with this it will be a bit of a minefield regardless but I am sure we could come up with a fair way of doing it
I would not have the time to screen every single song (especially as I would want to encourage members to post their albums) so it may have to be along the lines of an application process where members submit 3 tracks of the quality they are able to produce (either by themselves at home or via a studio or other producer!
If the application is successful then the member would be granted permission to create their own "showcase thread", which they can use however they want and potentially use it to attract listeners to review their songs
This would be a manageable solution where members wishing to showcase their music (and not every member will want to) can do so and will be able to maintain their own thread
