Why is there such a low identification-rate for Tune ID's?

Post by Kreuzprodukt » Tue Jan 18, 2011 12:45 am

Hey,

in case you dont know me yet, my name is Philipp, im 20 years old and settled in a small village 10 minutes, as well as kilometers, outside of vienna, the capital city of austria.
A few days ago I asked for a Tune ID in the 'Tune ID's'-Thread.
Today I came back to see if someone identified my track allready but unfortunately noone knew it. As same as all the other tracks before and after my post.

Why is there such a low identification-rate?
Is this because Dubstep is a very young Genre and there are massiv quantities of new tracks lately?


Im looking forward to your answers,
and please dont mind my english, i know its awful ;)
Kind regards, Philipp

It's probably because all of the tune ID's are thrown into that same thread.

If there was a better form of managing these requests then the hit rate could be a lot higher.

Whenever I needed a tune ID'd, I'd go through the posts before me and ID like 3 or 4 tunes for people to jack up my karma, then when nobody ID'd mine I was like fuck this shit.

I think everyone has tried for a while, at some point to be helpful in that thread..unfortunately the same tracks are asked time and time again and people lose enthusiasm and get tired of answering..
There is an overwhelming amount of IDs unanswered every day now and nobody can really be bothered.

Your best bet now is to try and contact the DJ you heard play it perhaps..or put it up on youtube and hope that someone stumbles across it with the knowledge. I have had quite a bit of luck doing both.

the id thing is a growing issue on this site. we have more than five 24 hour radio channels in this sound. where do you think all those people go to id the tunes? here for the most part.

i know the radio stations all have their own forums and own websites, so it would really help if they could try to directly offset some of the questions. i know it would be hard to accomplish, but if these 24hr radio sites could ask for song titles in sets, and made those titles available immediately after show times, then there wouldn't be an issue. the problem is the small amount of people that make threads about something played on ______.fm, without naming the show or even naming the dj, just..." i heard this tune last saturday at 7pm, and OMG, its soooo good. help me". so when no one responds or can help them, then they get rude, and tell people off??? this is what this forum is facing on a daily basis right now. i'm not saying that its not welcome on the forum, but the attitude that comes with the questions is out of hand. this is a global website, on nearly 10 time zones. the dubstep world doesn't revolve around people id'ing tunes or requesting id's for tunes every day. have some patience and tact, and maybe go to the website of the show and ask the dj directly.

hopefully, someone makes some sort of pandora ID site, to solve this growing problem with 24hr internet radio.

Making a section of the forum dedicated exclusively to tune ID is idiotic, because nobody logs on to the forum with the exclusive aim of identifying tracks for random brosteppers. Most successfully ID'd tunes happen when people stumble upon them by chance on the general discussion section and decide to I'D them because they happen to know the answer off the top of their head.

I politely pointed this out before but some boy scout bureaucrat deleted my post, regarding it as subversive rather than progressive.

If there's one thing you can depend on austrians for, it's improving efficiency. Change is good, donkey.

that may well be true, but leaving them to clog up the main forum is not the solution. if you can think of a better solution then we're happy to hear it but if not then this imperfect way is going to have to do

why don't you set something up on getdarker ashley?

a 'thanks' or 'rep' system.

People don't do things when there's no benefit for themselves.

Although these things are easily abused.

Because I'm too busy looking into Fast Fourier Transform algortithms and finding the average frequency in audio snippets and comparing them against a library of parts to worry about some kids YouTube video.

But an idea would be a sub forum with topics posted automatically converted to stickies whenc reated and then made back to normal threads when marked resolved. But I don't think the technical capability of whoever actually runs this board is there to make it possible :6:
