Dunno Time spent

How long do you spend on a track, from first idea, to starting production & mixing it down?

What's the most time or the least

Usually around a week, if everything's going smoothly and I develop it a little every day. (I'm only free on the weekends and in the evenings after work.) Once you're in the "active stage" and know what you're doing everything happens quickly for me. During the "active stage" I work very productively and intensively, sometimes I don't eat or stop for hours.

Occasionally I can't get to the "active stage" because I don't have enough ideas yet. Those kind of tracks take longer. I come back to them in a week or two.

totally depends. no shorter than a week or two, cause i build up my ideas over time generally. i just found this project i was workin on way back in the day that i was probably gonna try to work with again. if i get a track out of it, than it'll technically be like 8 months in the making.

My Ideas usually start once i'm stoned. I know it sound bad, but i get good ideas that way...

I usually touch up the next day, after i'm sober and thinking properly. And i spend the next few days adding various things, and tweaking the synths, and the layout.

Then I post it for people to hear, and get suggestions from people who've listend to it.

so i say, if its a good song, about a week. it not, i just keep it very basic, and never finish it, cause by then, i've usually started another, and then i start my cycle again.

It depends on how my inspiration helps me and the way that I feel... So, if I have a bad day, I might just be using the pc to play games, rather than producing music, thus delaying a track to be finished. Most tracks I work on stay in my 'productrion folder' for quite a while I think, multiple weeks sometimes.

But, if I have some real good inspiration, a track might get finished, let's say, in a small week

It just depends on whether you fel the track is ready, or still don't think it's right... If it's the last one, you probably should spend more time on it and be patient. But that one's hairy sometimes, I know, but it learned me alot
