Personally I find it very hard to listen to my own music that I havr made. I'm not sure if you guys do, but when I listen to it, I always think "Nah, I shouldn't have added that in there", or "I should've ended it like this, not like that."
Apparently, authors have the same problem reading their own books. I bet RDJ can just listen to I Care Because You Do all the way through comfortably.
Any of you feel the same way?

I enjoy my own stuff, yeah.. I do see it in a different way - you have all the music of the world, thats outside of my head, as it were and then there is my music, which comes from within my head.. makes a big difference..

I listen to everything I make quite a lot. I probably listen to my shit more than anyone elses.
I mean, it soudns pretentious or whatever, but hey - that's what I make it for.
Coz I know what I like so I make what I want to hear :)

How can you not like listening to your own music? That is mental.
If you don't like listening your own music then you aren't making your own music. Most of the music I make I only make to listen to myself.

Don't get me wrong, I love some of my stuff, it's just sometimes I'm a little critical about certain parts of it, like the abrupt ending that shouldn't have been so abrupt, etc...

I like to listen to my music, in fact i love to, the thing it's that allways, i'm thinking: i should put this, turn that off, modify that, etc. i can't control myself, its like i want to change everything or anything, make stupid volume or parameter changes all the time, but anyway people wont listen to the changes so its useless... I love my music but i'm not happy with it.

I make music I personally like, so I love listening to my own tracks.
I hate having OTHER people listening to my music though! Hence I keep it for myself and very few other people.

I don't mind that much when people dislike my music.. as long as they don't just say "IT SUX!!" as that 'sux', or is just kind of irritating.
that said, its very exciting to let people hear your stuff.. :)

Yeah but I'm pretty thin skinned, and sometimes when ppl say stuff like "man that song is totally cheesy haha" I'm kinda like
"aw fuck it wasn't meant to be like that" Also you gotta watch out, coz when ppl say nice shit about yr muisic, sometimes you get used to hearing nice stuff so when you hear something bad said about yr music it hurts worse than normal, which sucks.
Haha it's called ego :)

hey that sounds like a Mario video game song.
just cuz it doesn't have battle rhyme and a huge beat doesn't mean it's cheese :(

I often focus on taking stuff too far. I'll take something (a wav of a beat or melody I made etc) and do something else to it. But later when I listen to all the old wavs for fun, the original unaltered ones are often better, relatively of course since they ALL suck.

for me, its a vicious cycle
when i first finish a track (and I only finish tracks I am happy with. ie finished=make into an mp3) ill listen to it nonstop. And im excited and proud.
But then within a day or two, i notice things i dont like
then there will be a point where i just think, oh god, i suck so bad. i should give up. and i seriously get so fucking depressed.
But then ill listen to it again, and be like, no, i like it.
But basically... its how you grow... finding what you did or didnt like, and try to improve on your next track.

I try not to take myself too seriou8sly (it's hard, sometime sI get oo seriuos and have to back up a bit) and not overanalyze my own stuff.
I think making music should be fun, when you start gettin' stressed out over it and tearing your hair out, then it's not fun and I step back and work on somethign else or laugh at how dorky I am worrying over a song that's not even gonn be released or anything, haha od you dork :)
