I think I have figured out my problem...every track I start to work on that I really like I end up listenening to the first minute and a half repeatedly thinking how good it is until it reaches the stage that I am totally bored with the track and it never gets finished. I never put these tracks on my zebox because I always think they are too good and need to be finished properly before I do it, but I never get round to finishing them...I have just realised there is no point to this topic but I have typed to much to just delete it :D |

HAHA! This used to happen to me alot but i know when to quit now. |

I know what you mean. I have some tracks like that. They've got some undefinable quality that you just love but you know for sure that it's no ready. I have too many tracks like that :-/ |
||||||||

yes i do that ALLL the time but i don't work on tracks for weeks usually so i don't have enough time to really listen to it and get sick of it before it's done. i listen to my own shit waaaaay too much though it's not healthy :P |

because what i do is live.. i get the bonus of my songs being different every time i play them :) |

It makes sense that you'd listen to your own music most really. There's no better music for you than what you make. It's 100% customised baby! |

Hmm.. that's different. |
||||||||
|

Yes, I agree. Once you get to even quite a basic level of competence you can make tracks close enough to how you want them. As a result it's exactly the sort of music you'd want to listen to (why would you make music you don't like?) I haven't burnt a "listening copy" of my latest stuff, but I will shortly... I need a new tape for those boring drives to uni each day. |

but when you make your own music, chances are that you know it inside out and even if you love it, you could miss the feeling of not knowing what happens next... but then again that can be experienced in the making process and could be ^12 more exciting... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. |

why not release them at the length they are, thats what I do. Hundreds of bite size tunes lasting no more than 2 minutes. |
||||||||
|

I am sortof in the same position... When I start a track I get an idea of how I want it - but it rarely turn out as good. I am using other kinds of ways to put together tracks now though, and it seems to be going quite well. I hope I can finnish tracks soon again (like I used to be able to)... peace. |

|
naa.. my tracks are much to half-assed to begin with for that to happen.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
my tracks are getting shorter... last one is 1.59 |
||||||||

Can you guys combine the good 'elements' of your unfinished work? that might be good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine longer... latest is 13.39 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
geez.. my computer would explode if i ever made anything that lengthy.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
>> I end up listenening to the first minute and a half repeatedly Yes I do that too. I've given up making my own tunes for the time being and am concentrating on doing some bootlegs. Its quite fun actually. |

if have more loops than complete tracks. nuff' said. |
||||||||

If I do that, I always leave it a while before working. That way I come back to the piece with a fresh outlook, and add loads of stuff on. Sometimes a track can take months of going away and coming back, but it sounds excellent when done. Most of my songs are far too rushed, though. :( |

hmm. i rarely even sit down to do anything to begin with, really. the whole process for me is pretty lazy. i don't know what the hell my deal is, really...because i love doing it. i should do it more often. then i might get good, too. =D but this unfinished thing...hmm. i'd say everything i have is unfinished. and i often go back and change things months after i've "finished" (cut it off because i had no idea where the hell i should go with it). kinda googly like that. |
||||||||

like I said... why don't you all submit your unfinished tracks and put them al together. maybe even get people to say why they think it's unfinished. One Massive XLT Track, united! |

listening to/making your own tracks is like masturbating, it takes more effort to do it yourself but it usually turns out just right (if you've been doing it since the 6th grade), whereas listening to someone else's music could really blow your socks off in a way you didnt think about doing yourself like using a vaccuum cleaner and crisco or something, and you didnt even have to exert any energy |

I can't stand listening to most of my songs. The reason being is that I hear the song at least a thousand times before I release it or whatever. The songs I like are the ones everyone hates. The ones I hate are the ones everyone likes lol. FIGURES. |

I have no self made tracks so... but I am sure I would love them |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yup, same 'ere...some skeletal beatz, and improv all the way...every time it's diff, and bad ass! |

my own music makes up 50% of my total daily audio intake. 40% is video game music, and 10% is - i guess published music. there's nothing wrong with enjoying your own music - i think what's most important is that you are satisfied with what you are doing - because if you're confident in your work, others will be too, eventually. |

that's just plain quotable. |

in all honesty ive listened to my village people remix a dozen times today :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The annoying thing about my own music is I can't tell if its actually a good overall track until I've left it alone for about a month without hearing it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i was just doing that (listening to my 2:00 unfinished bit over and over) |
||||||||
|
