This is my process too. So working on my library / production music demo project, I'm working on about 5 tracks right now, and at any time I won't listen to one for a few days at least.donkey tugger wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 8:53 pm I've found over the years that absence makes the heart grow less fond, i.e. before absolutely settling on something as a 'final' version I always leave it for at least a week or so without listening to it. Bit of perspective through distance has many times worked to reveal what the bleedin' obvious faults are in something. In the meantime, you can always do something else.
Easy for me, 'cause I have a separate career / am not retired, and I'm often traveling so I'm not nearly as prolific as if this were my main thang (I do always have my laptop and a MIDI controller, but typically lack the time!) But I'd be inclined to work on a few different albums / sets if I were working more, just so I could stay away from the tracks a bit.
I get it's not your work process (Wags), but if you can put a track away at least a couple days and come back, you'll have fresher ears no matter how much you listened before.
