Out of curiousity because my latest mix which I'm finally close to being done, I've put in about 40hrs (incl actually making the mix)

By promo mix i suppose you just mean one you'd throw into a few clubs etc??

Personally, i recorded myself doing a mix for the first time the other night. (couldn't believe i hadn't until now..) but i literally, hit record and spun.. 1hr 50min. Cut it down afterwards to 1.10 as i got a little tempo happy towards the end.

All in 2 and a half hours.

If i were seriously trying to put together a really good promo mix, i'd say 10 hrs tops. Maybe 13 if I were to record it twice.

What took up the most amount of time for you?

i dunno man it seems to vary.

sometimes all the tracks i pick just flow together and i can bang it out in a couple hours.

other (read most) times the tracks i want in the order i want may be harmonically compatible, but the flow just isnt there. it takes a couple days bargaining with myself to not put in tracks i may really like at the time or to rearrange the order of the tracks.

This.

I'm a perfectionist so the longer part of the process to me is picking the tunes and then testing, testing, testing how they sound together and programming the final set to be recorded.

Varies for myself also but I try to keep it under 15 hours, probably spread out over a week or so. I don't really count the time it takes me to compile the tracks I want. That's just the time I spend on programming and actual mixing.

i do it all on the fly. im a strong believer in what you hear is what you get. I record my promo mixes in exactly the way you would hear me play in a club... on the fly

Doesn't take long for me.

I know what I am playing on the club circuit at the moment, so will probably have a good idea of what works and what doesn't.

It usually only takes the time it takes to record it for me so about an hour or so. I haven't done one in a while but I play out regularly so wont always have the need.

When I play a party I will usually take some CDs with me and hand them out if someone comes and says that they like what I play, sort of a thank you gesture.

Cheers

About a year.

I think about the next one as soon as I've recorded one, and it takes me about a year to get around to doing it.
