Before i wasnt a producer i didnt appreciate the diffrent elements of tracks. Now i hear a tune on the radio or something and i analyse every part of the tune, i do this without realising and not really listening to the music from a non producers point of view. Everyone else over analyse tracks and such?

yeah that happens to us all.

Gotta agree there.


SO many times I hear something and think it sounds poorly produced and my brother will just say "It sounds sick, shut it."

I didnt care about sound quality at all.

I wouldn't put it this far but it's definitely changed it.

This happens a lot. Although a good song will always mean more to me than a well produced one at the end of the day!

True.

But I just listen to sampling, sound and mastering. How they've done everything. Dubstep to RNB, literally anything.

Saying Rnb, it really annoys me how it's an attenuating sub bass on the kick and a snare with a silly not repeated again and again. And that's the production!?

I'll admit, I listen to a lot of big names in dubstep, don't want to name any incase I get hunted down, killed and thrown away, that just make bog standard poo. But I suppose they've earnt their rite of passage.

I can no longer enjoy or write good music but I've become pretty good at sound design and mixing, equivalent exchange my ass, I liked the way things were before

I do this too.

Eh, I'll only focus on it if it's jarringly distracting.

I don't listen to much music anyways, so no biggie.

Now imagine if you were a psychotherapist. Every interaction with another human would be colored by your greater understanding of human behavior. Scary.

I'd like to think that production enhances your perception of a track. Have you lost your emotion? I'm sure you're still moved by a track. Still get that head going. Now though, you can start to understand why. Yeah BOI.

Hapens with anything i have learnt to analyse. I also studied film and media years back for A-Level and now i cant stop analysing films as i watch them. I cant just 'let it go'

lol that would be scary, but yeah its a perfect example of what im getting at.

For a producer it's natural to do this

yeah, I totally used to suffer from this hyperanalytical shit I had to learn to turn it off to preserve my love for music

it's like a chef has to turn off his critical point of view when he goes out to eat dinner in a different restaurant.

I had to do the same thing with listening to other DJ's

it's kinda like this joke

Q: how many dubstep producers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?











A: fuck those other guys

Same to the point where I can tell where directors are ripping other director style cinematography off.

But after a while with music you fall back into just listening as opposed to analysing, you just have to open up to many other genres outside the genre you produce in.

I analyse anything i hear, regardless of who it is. I hate it now! I blame it all on audio engineering. Purely and simply its all audio engineering fault I cant simple sit there and enjoy a song, i need to listen to it a few times before.
