Not exactly song creation, but sometimes I'm looking through my FT folder and I open up an FTM, hit play, listen to it for about half a second, close it, and then proceed to carry on about my day. Not sure why I do that at all

I never answered the question because I couldn't really think of anything specific, but this is mine too. I'll make changes to a single frame and have to listen to it from the beginning to make sure it sounds right in the context of the song.

Are you me? I have like 3 unfinished projects since 1 month because I spend all my time only listening...

Instead of being talented I just shove VRC6 into almost every module.
Serious answer: instead of proper instrument management I keep using blank instruments and a bunch of commands, leading me to redoing a lot for minor changes like volume. I keep forgetting to do it right.

Replacing almost all note cuts with Sxx effects and similarly for effects specific to 0CC-FamiTracker, so that the file size becomes (usu. ~15%) smaller.
Sorting instruments in a nearly fixed order.
refactoring 0cc-famitracker

When I do some part of a cover, I reverse notes (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+R) for every non-percussion column in all frames, sometimes it sounds funny.
If anybody knows where i can download FMPSG albums please let me know.
Here is my youcloud and twitterbook. Whatever. Shitmusics.

Okay, it's not exactly during the creation of the song, but it's wierd, so I thought I'd share it:
When I share a new song to these forums, I always tend to find small things I'm not happy with in my OP and therefore edit it about 50 bzigudillion times before I'm happy. I also do this on other posts sometimes, but it mostly happens when I create a new thread for my music.
Hi! I'm not really active here anymore but I still make music. Nowadays I mostly make dubstep with emphasis on good melodies and chord progressions.

I'm also on Spotify. Search "OllAxe" and you'll find me.

Guilty of that too. I generally put my percussion instruments in the 08-0F range.

I like to isolate every channel, or group of channels and listen to them individually. Also, I like to transpose every song I make and listen to them several times in different tunings...
I end up hating myself because of this, since I often think "DUDE WTF THIS WOULD'VE SOUNDED BETTER IN THAT SCALE GO THROW YOURSELF IN FRONT OF A PASSING ELEPHANT".
