We get a lot of the same questions round these parts (in fact, you might say these particular questions are frequently asked), so we figured we’d make things a little easier for you with a FAQ. Hope it helps you out before you give us a holler.-The Musictechradar team
Why do you need my email address for comments?We do this to cut out down on comment spam (it happens a lot these days). We are (still) working to improve our user-profile system to make commenting easier, but remember, even full user profile systems on web sites require a valid email address. In other words, the question of posting comments without a valid email address is kind of null.We can tell you a few things for sure: these addresses are not harvested — we hate spam, too. We certainly wouldn’t wish it on anyone else, so don’t ever expect mailings from us unless you’ve signed up for an opt-in mailing list of some sort.
Why was my comment removed?We allow users to comment on our posts for the betterment of the musictechradar community, so as to share knowledge, expertise, and to spread good-humored mirth. If your comment is spam, off-topic, unduly belligerent, insulting, or berating, or otherwise not, er, nice (or if you completely missed the point of the post), do expect your comment to be removed.
Why did you post that? It’s old news.Just remember: for every one reader that knows that something is old, there are a thousand more who’ve never even heard of it.
Why do you post rumors and unofficial information?Well, simply put, we’re not the AP. If we think our readers are going to enjoy or benefit from the sometimes-dubious information floating around out there, we’re going to put it up. That’s not to say we’ll just put anything up, but if after we critically determine it’s a rumor that’s got substance, importance, and likelihood, then we’re going to try and keep you in the know.
Where can I buy this? How much does it cost? Sorry, we’re not an online shop, and we’re not a portal. If we don’t print a price, it usually means we don’t have that information or because prices change so quickly that it’d be pointless. We don’t normally tell you where to buy because for us it can be a conflict of interest — we’re not about to be accused of favoring one retailer over any others (unless there’s a particular reason, like a retailer who is selling pre-release products). We do list a few on line music tech retailers we use for your convenience but you should always look around a little before you buy. So good luck on your hunt!
Your information is inaccurate.While the volume of information and news we process can be enormous, we consistently do our best to provide quality information. But we’re human, we make mistakes. If you’ve seen we’ve made an error, please let us know.
