How long before you tunes started to sound professional
Well i was wondering how long did it take you to make your tunes sound professional? You know how long youve been producing, how long you work on a tune?
Well ive been listening to trance since i was 8 or 9 (im only 15) as soon as i heard ATB - Till I Come i was hooked in late 2003 i got FL and started playing around till around late 2004, which recently i have only just started to get some tunes out (crap btw) with obviously alot more software.
Anyway i was wondering?!?

I'm producing music for about 4-5 months now. I'll probably need at least 2 years.

Depends on your natural inclination and your drive. If you work really really hard all the time it could only take 2 years. Ive got about 4 years of experience and I think I'm finally at a level that I'm satisfied with.

Most recent tracks:
1) Ilan Bluestone - Spheres (State of Matter Eleventh Hour Mix)
2) MK-S - Illuminate (State of Matter Revival Mix)
3) Scarab - Vagabond (State of Matter Revival Mix)
4) Ferry Corsten & The Thrillseekers - Sublime (State of Matter Revival Mix)
5) State of Matter - Saving Icarus (Original Mix)
I've been producing for about a year now. My tracks don't sound extremely professional, but every track i do sounds better than the last, and my sounds are shaping up a bit.
edit: Answered my own question...anyone know how much space you get with cjb.net?

I got 2 years of experience for producing, and up till recently my songs have sounded a little bit professional, I have a CD of my first stuff when I using claps like snare drums and 3xOSC was my main synth. I listen to that stuff still to this day an I laugh at myself for all those mistakes, No fxs were used for my songs, no reverb or delay. I progressed alot in the trance world, I know what should be FX should to be applyed to what and I use EQ and compression. Although I suck at compression still.
