When listening to music, do other people make an effort to identify and follow (at least for a little while) each different instrument/sound in the mix?
When I wear my fancy shmancy in-ear-monitors I tend to occasionally stop what I'm doing as I try to pick apart the instrumentation of more complex productions. And I think I might be weird
@neatchee I overanalyze every song I hear and nerd out about the production and the chord progressions. I have a music degree so I’m a little obsessed with #MusicTheory 
@robustjumprope I never did much academic music theory but I've been a singer since I was very little. Choirs, Acapella, bands, etc. I can't stop myself at this point from hearing music that way.
Case in point, picking out the 3rd-layer synth keyboard 16th-notes that fade from ear to ear in the post-chorus in the chorus of this track: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=oYTTJv5pnGA&feature=share
So many layers lol
@neatchee
Yes. I also listen for unusual instruments.
Like the #ViolaDaGamba in Violet Evergarden.
There's also something that sounds like a #Theorbo in Sound of the Sky. And a decent-sounding #Harpsichord in Ascendance of a Bookworm.
The last two might be electronic, but if they are they're extremely well-done. I know the gamba is a real one.
