How long does it take for you to make a track?

[Astroshade]

I'd love to hear from the pro's on this one

For me.... my record was 2 days for tracking (16 hrs total) I was really on a roll that day.
When it comes to mixing.... up to a month or even more, since I'm not so good at it yet.
And then i work for maybe 2-3 hrs every 2-3 days or so...


How do you guys do?

I'm not a pro but I'm gonna answer anyways.

Sometimes it takes a month or two, some projects just take forever (small improvements here and there), sometimes I just start projects and then I stop working on them, some projects only take days.

Or in other words, it's totally different eveytime. It depends on how motivated, experienced and inspired you are. It's also a thing if you use alot presets (whether it's your presets or not) or still have to create the leads/kicks or whatever before continuing with the project.

You will see how it is for you when you start producing on your own.

To be clear.
I want everyone pro or not to answer
But i'm interested in hearing what the pro's say as well

First thx for the info
And my bro... I'm not new to the game

In my early days, it took me one day and it was finito.
And yeah, I'm not kidding when I say I have 1000 .flp-files that are everything from 1% to 70% complete.

takes a few years.. it depends on how much sounds you have ready and it also depends on whether you have good inspiration

a track can be made in 1 night if you have all the sounds and you have all the ideas

[Astroshade]

Okay I retire......
All I wanted to hear was how your typical producing process looks like.

Typically 3-6months on a track, but working on multiple projects at the same time, can throw down the ideas in an hr or so but refining and developing takes a lot of time excluding writers block etc lol

[Raw Output]

Anything from 8 hours to 2 years, depending on the ideas & inspirations, that doesnt include time spent sounddesigning, when I'm not making tracks I just make presets, samples etc. for later use.

i was made "goodfellas" in january .and i made that track in two weeks..just because i was having so much inspiration...now for example i have so many tracks and projects which is not concluded yet..and after 6 months i have another track complete! is a try to do everytime everything better and make it sounds "clear" and "loud" as much possible..i think it depens from person to person.
