-- Do you listen to your own tracks?
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

I'm gay as ... damn for once i wish i was on bayraves, they have this one emoticon that expresses my gayness...

and good choice for the xio... as i said it's very simple, but there's this one sub bass patch on it that is effin amazing (though i still use tau pro for the very bottom end mostly)

and i don't think the guy was making fun of my gayness, but if he was, that's okay too, i don't much care... i'm an adult, i've been out for A LONG TIME, and my friends matter way more than anyone on any message board...

btw... be on the look out... i'm almost done with my remix of agnelli and nelson -- every day

woot

Why the hell wouldn't I? I make my music to be EXACTLY what I want to hear. I'll typically only listen to a track just for fun after it's been done for more than a year. That's when I'm no longer disgustingly sick of it.

Sometimes when I listen to some older stuff I've done, I get the goosebumps. For some reason I feel that I had better ideas back then, even though I was producing with some hifi sennheiser phones, that basically made everything I made sound like crap.

I have had my focal monitors for a whole year now, and still haven't been able to finish a single track. Time constraints mostly, but some of it is due to my terrible work ethic. I overproduce everything, which makes me sick of it all before I even reach 50%. I try so desperately to come up with something original, that I loose my perspective of why I'm doing this in the first place. I need to grow a set of bollocks and get some stuff done already.

once i finally finish a track, i never want to listen to it again, just cus im sooo pissed off with it...listening to it over and over again to finish it, i just get sick of it and want to listen to other stuff

Of course, we all listen for analytical purposes, but I have a few songs that I just really enjoy listening to on a regular basis - does that seem egotistical?

no, otherwise how when you know when your tunes are progressing? i listen to my shit all the time,thats the hole reason i started production.

True, but re-read my post. I'm not talking about to listening for analytical reasons (e.g., how well your tunes are progressing). I'm talking about listening for pure listening enjoyment - the same way you'd listen to your favorite CDs.

gotya,yes its very hard to feal your own shit.As if it was made buy someone else.but going back to my oringnal point why listen to someones elses shit that may/or may not do what you want.then you can truly enjoy enjoy your sound.

i always think my tracks suck ass, every single one i've done. i'll listen to it once after it's complete and then it sits there

Sometimes. I find that if I'm in a production slump, listening to my own music gets me back in the mood again to start writing music.

everybody loves the music they produce and listen to it like its a child of there own.


getting other people to like it ,is a different story

i was once so out of it i didnt realise it was one of my own tunes, and i was loving it, and i got the shivver during the break. only realised as it was mine when it was being mixed out. i actually remember thinking to myself 'i wish i could get my kicks sounding like that'..

hell yes


sometimes i sit there while im making a really hypnotic/Dreamy track, and ill just be like "fuck it, sounds good enough for the time being" and ill just put one part on repeat and ill sit on my chair, slowly going round and round lol ... then i finish it

I listen to them, but not very much as the more u listen, the harder u critique your work which in itself can cause tunnel vision and...well u know how that can go down

Yes, but only when I'm sure they are finished. If they aren't I can always find a reason to go back and fuck about with them, in fact even when I decide they are finished I can usually find a reason. Its a stressful experience sometimes................

i wish i could listen to my old tracks they all died with my computer, my new stuff never gets finished but i listen now and then mostly when im pissed and think they sound awsome!!!

Haha, how funny is that :P Why do you create music, if its not for listening pleasure?

I listen to my own music all the time. I would never consider that any egotistical ^^

But anyhow.. interesting question.. maybe someone actually does
