Do you listen to your own music?

sparkotronic	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 4:38 PM I've always wondered if other people like to listen to the music that they create? I still enjoy listening my own music, from rough tape to tape recordings when i was 16-17 up to the computer generated stuff I do today. The whole point of me creating music was to create something that I'd like to listen to. I don't know what that says about me?? Is anybody else as egotistical as me
shadowself	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 4:51 PM Because I create music mostly for myself, yes.
wailingmiserere	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 5:42 PM I dunno... I tend to listen a lot to the particular song I'm working on at the moment, and then soon after I've finished it, I can't stand to listen to it... I start hearing all the mistakes. I think I prefer to perform my songs than to listen to them...

WalkingStick	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 7:26 PM i think I'm my number one fan but I don't think it's strang to like listening something you gave birth to. unless you made it specificaly to hurt the ears then yes I wouldn't listen either. ok I'm rambeling now Dave the Wolf Man
BOWILLIE	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 11:25 PM of coarse i do.. alot of times..i dont hear the final mix until its ready to burn.. time scheduals dictate.. a few times..then the new wears off.
Fraser	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 2:08 AM Quite a bit of the time. Mainly cuz Im working on it, but sometimes I just need to listen to something more... me.
TameasDust	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 3:36 AM nope never do ...listen to other people's ... never listen to my own ...
Lemmon	Date: December 7, 2005 @ 4:07 AM lol yeh. Me and my mate listen to ours while flying roflcopters and lmaoplanes.
vladb	Date: December 7, 2005 @ 8:26 AM i tend to make music the fun of creating, so once its done its kind of over for me, though i am starting to go back some of my earlier stuff again to see if it'll translate live
AznVelution	Date: December 7, 2005 @ 9:55 AM umm sometimes...its wied before hearing ur vocie on someones mp3
Bhairava	Date: December 8, 2005 @ 1:46 PM I'm kind of fastinated by what I come out with sometimes and listen to the final mixdown over and over. I find it just stick in my brain that way too and cause I did it myself I kind of cement the techniques in my head. Sometimes I think I'm stealing some things from other people but its actually stealing stuff from my earlier work which is quite funny.
MinisterofSc...	Date: December 8, 2005 @ 5:40 PM yes, I do. I started making music because I wanted to listen to something I liked listening to.
Skriptz	Date: December 10, 2005 @ 11:36 PM Yea.. sometimes, nah mean?
SimonWaldram	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 3:04 PM I like listening to my instrumental stuff, but I'm not the sort of person who enjoys sitting around listening to his own voice.
Intergalacti...	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 4:37 PM Yeah cos I'm from the squad laike ini.
Vickxxx	Date: December 20, 2005 @ 7:56 PM I've dropped all my songs onto an ipod (along with my fav's from dmusic) and a bunch of my cd's and random play them. It's nice to A-B my tracks with what is being released commercially to improve on my production skills.
shouhei	Date: December 20, 2005 @ 8:55 PM yeah sometimes. I try and find out new ways to do things from it though. It helps me notice things about how I play that I could change.
LChen	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 12:21 AM I listen to my own work excessively while I'm working on it. Once a piece is finished, I only listen to it if I'm feeling depressed about my ability and want to reassure myself that I'm not that bad. =P I don't listen to my own work out of enjoyment; it's more for revaluation purposes.
TruonGLe	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 4:20 AM yes i do, i love it.
AbortiveMind	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 4:56 AM Sure I do, WE ALL DO! I'm not gonna say that I adore it, I just think some of my ideas are pretty nice and cool. Would be friggin pethetic if people wouldn't like their own music
GTOriginal	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 9:48 AM What a question. Uhhh no I never listen to my own music, I don't even know what it sounds like. Hope it's any good Naaah just being ridiculous to prove a point, of course I listen to my own stuff as we all do. I listen for the technicals of it, and also for the pleasure. Is this a masturbatory kinda thing? I dunno, but it works for me. Meanwhile I listen to tons of other stuff too. I pretty much like most of what's out there for one reason or another, but I'm personally connected to my own lil baby songs, like "Oh yeah here's where that string broke and I had to remix". Memories...
TameasDust	Date: January 6, 2006 @ 11:05 PM to see if it unloaded right ... and see if I did it right ... yeah i do
OneManKlann	Date: January 7, 2006 @ 6:12 AM Same here, love listening to my own music. Always room for improvement.
hantu	Date: January 7, 2006 @ 9:41 AM all the fukin time, im a self obsessed bastard But seriousely, i do all the time, all fukin day until i become absolutely sick of it.
celtaidd	Date: January 7, 2006 @ 9:54 PM Like everyone else, I suppose I write music that I enjoy, if I dont listen to it, who else will?
DJLocoL	Date: January 8, 2006 @ 3:46 AM yeah i love listening to the remixes i make, and yeah you have to listen to your own work to preview what you did and find any errors as well
zikweb	Date: January 15, 2006 @ 6:25 PM I do, just like all of you, by the time I create the tracks, and then I leave the titles alone on the internet for a while. Then, from time to time, I listen to what I produced, and curiously, I'm suprised by how creative I wad at that time
