I name my projects gibberish while working on them and end up forgetting which ones they are months later (Getting better at this recently)
Does anyone on newgrounds use a real bass in their tracks? Most of us here are composers, you can't expect anyone to do everything live :)
I also name tracks worthlessly until I'm certain it will become a finished project. I usually include the date in the title so at the very least I know how old it is Example[2-1-17]

I have no plans when I create a song, its usually just a case of pressing a few keys and playing the song in my head as I go along....
lol, I feel the same way. I envy people that can think of a melody and write it down later that day. All my songs start out as ten second loops that are just random noises and spur of the moment melodies that eventually get sculpted down into something musical sounding. Then I copy/paste it a bunch of times and start deleting sections. At that point, the creative process is essentially the same as working a block of clay.
More of a confession: I create tracks and listen to them like some weird narcissist, but get really shy or embarrassed when someone approaches me/compliments me in person.
We all do man. I have an entire itunes playlist dedicated to my own music but when sharing with others the first thing I tell people is that my music is shit. I bet this is one of the most common confessions we could have ran into if I had asked about it in the OP.
Playback is an important part of the creative process. There would be no point to it if we didn't love it :D
