If your down on your system…

If your down on your system, ask yourself, are you listening for the sound or for the music.  If the answer is for the sound, then try to do a mind bend, and forget the sound for a moment.  Take a deep breath and try to get into the music you’ve selected. After all, you’ve hopefully selected it for the music itself and not just for the sound.  That’s where the payoff is.
 I know this sounds simplistic and has been mentioned a lot in this forum, but it’s
a technique that works for me.

I don't think so. I was a musician (in that I no longer play trumpet professionally or for any other reason) and I feel that was a help rather than hindrance to listening to sound rather than "music".
Playing an improvised solo was one thing but being part of note combinations the rest of the band was looking at was rather mechanical.
Pleasant to be part of but mechanical none the less.

I enjoyed the "sound" of every note structure combination.
It is probably why I went into selling audio equipment in my Don Quixote quest to reproduce "sound" as realistically as possible.

My point was about the way to go from "sound" of the gear to "music" in the room, using acoustic....

I am forever plagued .
That being said, our salon studios were set up to obtain the best sound possible with room treatment,
Then, and to this day, I cannot get by the "sound’ part to get to the music part no matter what the waves are doing.
Even in the band, didn’t hear music as much as I heard "notes".
It’s maddening.
I wonder if selling the stuff or being a musician ruined me.
