I never rate my tunes. I don't even think of them in the terms of good or bad, I just think 'this sounds like something that people would like to dance to' and then look to others to see whether I was right or wrong. Good tunes and bad tunes are just a point of view, and I personally think that the only people would rate their own tunes are the kind of people who like to masturbate their egos a lot.
Saying that though, I am my own worse critic. But I also think that every producer is their own worst critic as well. Comes with the territory.

The only way I can get anywhere near objectivity is if I'm absolutely fucking caned and I hear one of my tunes by accident. Otherwise I have no idea!

The thing is, your tunes are not for you to rate. You make music. You get better, yet you're never satisfied because you KNOW you can do better next time. That's what keeps people going. It's the same as art. What you're searching for is elusive as all hell. You may never get there and if you do, it's all over anyway. If you're truly satisfied with your own work, there's no need to make any more. You won't want to make any more.

Rating is for other people to do.

Sometimes you make something and hate it, but others like it.

Sometimes you pour your soul into something and nobody likes it but you.

Sometimes you throw some shit together in an hour and people are all over it, loving it.

It's unfathomable and that is sometimes what is so great about it.

That's the bare truth there innit. If I didn't rate em, I wouldn't put em out (ahem...mostly), and if others didn't like em they wouldn't be playing them on their shows, so I must be doing something right even though I don't think I'm the most technically proficient producer out there.

You make em, others break em (in both positive and negative ways)

Odd, very odd. Do you make music yourself? Judging from the question I would say you don't.

Whatever, I'm just glad when one's done so I don't have to see or hear it again. Good riddance, I say, and on to the next one.

Just getting into it. I'm just interested to know if people like the music they make or whether they make tunes to sound a certain way, almost without really thinking about it. Just banging something together with the usual sounds they use and not having a go at anything different.

I think people like to learn the 'rules' before they break them. Others learn them and stick with them. Some don't learn the rules at all. I hear all kinds of work on here. Some is wobbly, some is so way out there that it almost isn't Dubstep (whatever Dubstep is) and some sits in between.

Production is part art, part science. Some people do both, some concentrate on just one. All has its place, really.
