How to Get Useful Feedback on Your Track

Submitting a track for feedback is one of the best investments you can make as a producer. But the quality of feedback you get depends heavily on how you approach the submission. Here's how to maximize the value of every review.

1. Be Specific About What You Want

Don't just upload a track and say “let me know what you think.” Artists give better feedback when they know what you're struggling with. Are you unsure about the mixdown? The arrangement? The drop? Tell them. The more specific your question, the more actionable the answer.

2. Send Your Best Work

This isn't the place for rough sketches. Send a track you've spent real time on — something you believe is close to finished. Artists can give much more useful feedback on a polished track than a half-baked idea, because the details matter at that stage.

3. Don't Take It Personally

Professional feedback isn't flattery. If an artist tells you your low end is muddy or your arrangement drags, that's gold. They're telling you what a label A&R would notice. Separate your ego from your craft and treat feedback as data.

4. Actually Apply the Feedback

The biggest mistake producers make is collecting feedback and doing nothing with it. After each review, pick the two or three most impactful suggestions and work on them. Then submit again. Iteration is how you improve.

5. Choose the Right Reviewer

Not every artist is the right fit for your music. On Spinfluence, you can browse our roster and pick someone whose music you respect and whose expertise aligns with what you're making. The feedback will be far more relevant.
