Time should never be an important factor when writing music. |
I disagree :P
Most pros acknowledge that being spontaneous in production is extremely important. The more time you spend on it, the more you fiddle with small things and the song loses its vibe. |

There have been times when I've completed an entire remix in one sitting. It's so much quicker when you don't have to think of the melodies. |

| normally, i like to make up as much of original ideas in a remix as possible. But it is alot easier when you have inspiration from the original. I find that, the longer time it takes for me to recieve the remix pack, the more inspiration i have hehe... |

I think this doesnt apply if you start a new session and completely re record everything. I often do that. The most important thing is to be spontaneous in writing, the best songs I feel are written in one session, hopefully under an hour. If that doesn't happen its usually because your not inspired or whatever, which is the cause, the effect being a) a crap song and b) it takes a lot longer. Taking longer is an effect not a cause, so there's not much you can do about it!
I finished one song in about 4 or 5 days finished that one yesterday, I'm also currently re recording one I started a year and a half ago, I'm doing another three versions now. I do endless re records, remixes, etc. |

My remixes take about the same length of time as an original, since I treat them the same way. All I take from an original mix is a melody and/or a hook, which only takes me a half hour tops to come up with in a new tune anyway. The rest is harmony (always different from the original mix), orchestration, arrangement, effects, mix tweaking, mastering, etc.
Remixes probably do take less time if you use not just the same hooks, but the same chord progressions from the original. There's nothing wrong with that mind you, and I don't want anybody to interpret it that way, it's just not what I do personally. |
