usually somewhere between a week to 2 months depending on how my life, inspiration, etc is at the moment. I also tend to create a section and then spend a lot of time thinking about where it should go after that so the actually hardcore hands on the keyboard/mouse/synth time is probably closer to 20-100 hours per tracks, but spread out over a long period. Then again sometimes I bang out an entire track in like 8 hours so it all depends....

It takes for me something between two weeks
up to a month to complete a track.
The difference is only because of the mood.
Peace..

Perhaps it's better that everyone puts it in hours work 'cause: '1 month'...What does that mean? 8hours/day, 30 days? or 1 hour a day? Big difference... I spend about 60-100hours on 1 track, but part of that time is due to improved knowledge which makes me dislike my previous tracks and keeps me working on them. |

It depends for me. When I started writing my first few songs, I had a lot of inspiration and ideas for each track. My first tracks took me 1 day to complete from start to finish. I would spend the next day fine tuning my mixdown and checking it on different systems.
My last track took me 2 days to write, and about a week to perfect the mixdown.

Real working time around 20 hours. But if you count all the hours I have no inspiration and I keep listening to the`same loop over and over again, it gets up to 300 hours. Usually most of the work is done in one or two days I have inspiration. And then one or two more days to make the sound more clear. But it's usually somewhere two weeks and a month.
By the way, does this happen to you? You keep listening the same loop over and over and suddently it's like you hear a melody playing in the background with a really low volume. It's like you can just hear it. That's where most of my inspiration comes from. Does this happen to you as well, or is it just me? |

For me it can take forever if I feel like it. This brings another question, how do you know that your track is finished ?
Do you stop working on it because you think that you got all the parts ? or it's good 'enough' ? or you just want to move to a new one ?

It takes about 3 months per track, but that's because i only have time in the evening and on one day during the weekend. It's a lot faster when you have a few days to work uninterupted and i think it would take me between 1 and 2 weeks for one track. |
