I'am probley on the computer at least 3 hours an evening after work and I have Fridays off from this week which will be dedicated to production based work and weekends are the same. This might seem a little excessive but I've my pc for about a year and previously only got about an hour a week on it due to my old job taking up far to much time (Still It payed for it).
At the moment I'am not really doing production work as such but getting the pc just orginized and getting ready to wipe all the data from the C drive with the recovery disc.
Also I'am spending a lot of time going through samples and getting to know atmosphere and kontakt 2 ( This is the new love in my life desite the libary discs not working )
After this is complete I'll spend my time writing with fl studio

I'll spend anywhere from 1 to 14 hours a day on production depending on my schedule and how strongly I feel about a track Im working on ...
Not nearly as much as i should. I'd like to spend at least 2-4hrs a day on it, but when i get to do it something always happens.
Last week i was getting in the zone when i get an ear infection out of the blue (Doctor said it was due to wearing headphones for a long time) ... haven't touched my DAW for a week...

WHOA!! ZERO!! SAME HERE!! I have had an ear infection for over a month and antibiotics haven't touched it!!
I'm completely deaf in the left ear for now cuz it's so plugged. Do you think its headphones!? I just started using them and, like you, I was spending about 3-4 hours a night on my productions....

Between 1 and 4 hours a night depending on how spent I am after work, and whether or not I have something going I'm really getting into.
I'd have to say it varies actually for alot of reasons, but on average 1 to 4 hours a night.

I've been producing some form of EDM for quite some time... but for trance, I'd say about 10 hours per weekend.

Full time job for me pretty much... I work on music as often as a can or until I get burnt out, in which case, I take a short vacation away from it lol.
2/3 hours every day for about 5 years now.
Only not when I'm at my girlfriend's place and on holiday.
And when I'm back I always got most inspiration.
Maybe a funny thing: the main melody of Endorphine was made on the beach in Greece where I wrote down the notes and played it back here in the Netherlands with a breakbeat loop.
