Interesting the way both AO and IDMf were mentioned a few times, yet the replies seem to indicate the posters weren't that bothered to follow up on the leads offered..like what both offer aren't what they're looking for..well, that's how it read to me.
For the record, I'm active on both forums..and while their point about IDMf not being too ambient orientated is a valid one, the same can hardly be said for AO! Not trying to blow smoke up any dark places, but AO has to be one of, if not "THE", best places I've ever come across for ambient music producers online. I just don't get the hesitation on their part in regards to joining.
Mind you, having said that, for all i know they could very well be members here by now..in which case most of what I've just said here is moot. :biggrin:

They use a more narrow definition of ambient there--the movie soundtrack, landscape, cinematic type of stuff.
The kind of stuff I like to make.
You know, the REAL, TRUE, and ORIGINAL Ambient.

I actually appreciate there being a small-scope approach to the music subreddits as you can shop exactly what sort of sounds you are wanting to hear and new submissions aren't buried in a just couple of hours. I get a fair number of plays from that site because the people going there are specifically looking for the type of ambient I am doing.
People looking for more structured work or beat-oriented pieces are not as likely to find my landscaping satisfying, and they can find that sort of ambient under another heading.
It's not that they are being elitist, or closed-minded, just focused.Last edited by aoVI; 11-19-2015, 10:39 PM.
