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?!?

5 years.

i'de say 5-6yrs is about accurate. I'm at 4.5 years and my tracks are quite close.

thats reassuring. ive got 14 months behind me now. im nowhere near pro sounding. but im working on that mwahaha

EDIT: ALLO MEF! exams going well?

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.

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'm getting there...started in late 2002...but it has been intermittently and only a few hours a week...not full-time like most lucky members of this site.

Not up to me to say if i am a professional or not.

But if i may be modest, i feel am close to where i wanne be, i think in 2 year or 3 i shall be at max.

Just need to find the right gear now and learn some more about music. the knowldge is Infinite.

Am 3 years busy now. (if you count from day one haxor Fl )

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.
