-Currently, SoundCircuit.com is unable to handle the traffic and space that an e-mail service would create, but this feature is coming in the future. I am aware that some other hip-hop sites offer their users free e-mail, but they use outside sources (ex: bigmailbox.com, loadmail.com, everyone.net, etc.). This means that their users' e-mail is not stored on the site's server, which presents many potential problems. The security and privacy of their users is questionable, there are no guarantees about server downtime, and outside companies have access to their users. It also means that the e-mail system cannot be intergraded with other features of the site, so users have to sign up for e-mail after they've already signed up to use the forum. SoundCircuit.com wants to avoid all of these potential problems by only offering free e-mail when we can take responsibility for our users' privacy.

-I get this e-mail 2-3 times a week. Several people who've seen our Instrumental section are under the impression that we use some type of vocal reduction machine. The truth is all of the instrumentals from that section are the official instrumentals released from the record labels and studios. While the majority of them are from 12" records, many come from studio leaks, and instrumental LPs. None of them were created using voice reduction techniques, so if you'd like some of them...get some hook ups.

-SoundCircuit.com welcomes audio from everyone, especially when it's rare joints and new material. But there is certain criteria for adding audio, to insure the best for our viewers, and to pay respect to the artists and labels. First, make sure the files are encoded by YOU, and NOT STOLEN from other sites. We do not support piracy! Secondly, when you encode the file, be sure to include the song title, artist name, and record label in the proper fields. In the Copyright field, add the respective record label and SoundCircuit.com (to prevent theft). Credit will be given to you (unless you wish otherwise). If you have audio you want to see featured here, DO NOT send real audio files through e-mail. If you contact me, I will respond to you with proper instructions.

-I got this message from a few people. Some feel we overrate Southern albums because the site is based in the south. Meanwhile I feel that other people underrate Southern hip-hop because they don't listen to enough of it to make a clear judgement. I'd be inclined to think I overrated N.O. artists, but I've spoken to hundreds of people from all over the globe that love New Orleans music more than I do. It is more often the case that people who send me this message have never even heard an album from N.O. That's just been my experience. Regardless, I still haven't found a site with a wider range of reviews than SoundCircuit.com, or a site with a staff as open-minded and well-rounded.
