Hi Frank, your cookbook is a great idea with good features. I´ve read about it a few months ago, but don´t given a feedback to it. But today I´ve read about it on facebook and thought, to give my 2 cents about it (also done on facebook):
The way you have done it, I think, you will always have much more "Downloaders" then "Uploaders", because downloading for free is to easy on your page ... You just can download without doing something for you, your page or for the community that uses your platform. Might it be good, if downloading patches would just be possible, when a user has uploaded some (maybe 5 or so) patches before? It´s a hurdle, yes, but a good one for those, who are REALLY interested in sharing (good) sounds -GIVE & TAKE, you now? ... I think, I would use your platform, when it would be not so easy to download. I don´t want to "squander" what I have programmed by myself and think of that it would be worth to share. And I can imagine, that there will be more Sub37-users, that think the way I think about it.
I would make the Sub37-users in the first step curious by let them just listen to the mp3´s of the uploaded patches. If they want to download a patch, they first have to upload some of there own patches for getting the full features of your sharing-platform. GIVE & TAKE, that´s what I´m missing on your platform. That would give it more quality - I think ...
Best regards from germany
