Originally posted by palm i always render before listening to the whole song and play it in a mediaplayer, i also render many times before that actualy. no idea why, its pretty weird.

Hehe im doing same, i have 50 slightly different mixdowns in my bounce folder. Then i listen them in my itunes and compare with the other songs. They (WAVs) actually taking quite a lot hard-drive space.

Nope. This is what I usually see when I'm working.

Not so much watching but just playing it through the DAW ruins the song for me. I produce on a 4 year old computer so trying to run a song that I'm working on sounds terrible. I usually have to export about 30 different times just to hear what the song sounds like, and the final export is really the first time I get to hear the song start to finish.

Probably an ass backwards way of doing anything but I can't afford a new computer and it's how I've always done it, so I guess I'm just used to it.

I know what you are saying.

And it literally seems to me like if you produce, you have an obligation to be as objective as you can about your music, yet objectivity itself strips music of emotions.

I think THATS what you hear when you say "unrealistic", you are trying so hard to be objective about it, you break the song down in your mind, and its just easier to do when the sequencer is in front of you. But I still do it to a large degree even in Media Player, it will still sound fake, but sometimes it is also a sign that you're music is missing that essential heart beat or "lock".

Because sometimes it seems no matter how fake or shitty a track is, when you refine it to a certain point the fake part will go away. Ie: cutting frequencies, seperating sounds into their respective domain, things DO just lock after a while and sound real. Then after getting a song to sound real and organic, you then have the obligation to also make it sound good =].. which always seems to take more time lol
