New guy here - Regarding "self promotion"

Hi!

Im new here and this is my first post. I will be straight and let you know that my main reason for coming here is not to "self promote" per se, but rather to ask for genuine input from others here to get some feedback on my music.

I realize that this might not at all be what this forum is for and may even be prohibited. Is there a specific place here on the forum where this sort of thing is encouraged? I am genuinely looking for feedback, specifically on mix and that that sort of thing, less so about composition/songwriting... 

If Im out of line please let me know before I even start such a thread...

Oh, also... Since Im unsure of what exactly qualifies as "prog" im also concerned that my stuff might be wrong in that regard as well. I think it's progressive in part at least, but sure ain't no Zappa you know... 

I already feel like I may be out of my depths here haha :P

As a fellow musician (kind of) who has released a demo and asked people to review it, use the 'Music and Musicians Exchange' subforum. Don't concern yourself with what's prog, just make the music you want to make, an experiment. If you like prog, that'll probably come out in the music. Not a lot of people respond to the posts there though (very sad). I want to try and make it my goal to listen to as many of them as possible. To help new artists and such...
