About two weeks, but it took me about a year to get into a position where I could finish at track at all. |

Having no job also helps.
Now that I have a job, sure, I can afford to eat, but I never get any music stuff done. |

From 6-7 hours to 2-3 months...
Everything that is really good is made over 6 hours...
Just love those days when I enter "The Zone", where time and space just disapears into creativity.
Those days where you start at 1 PM and at 7-8 PM you look up and realise that it's getting dark and you haven't eaten the whole day and you are still in your underwear...

why, did you get a divorce?
1-2 days i get something that to my experience and skill at the current moment i consider done... then i look at it a few months later, and notice it is so shitty i got to invest a few more days into it...
and so on, the cycle continues...
un-fucking-believable |

heh, currently i'm finishing a track that i started about 3 months ago. sure i didnt tweak knobs everyday, but nevertheless its still not finished.
somewhere i read Ocelots opinion where he said that the track should be made at once on the fly. he meant that its good if you start the project with your current mood and at least the biggest part of it is created at once. and that you shouldnt dig 30 seconds of music for 3 days. the music should flow as it flows.
basically i agree with this point, its very creative and musical. but sometimes i tweak a sound for ages. even if i know what i want it to be and already reached the aim, anyways i can continue tweaking knobs and eq and compress it more and more. not always the result of 3 days tweaking is much better then the initial sound but still the fun and experience are here.
at an average it tooks me 1 full working day day to create a body of the track, up to a week to add effects, calibrate levels, mix up everything. the next stage that can last for about a month - listening to the track on various sound systems, headphones, at a party and improving the sound taking into account the newly discovered factors.
for now, when im not working with recording a bunch of musicians with their instruments such workflow seems to me quite common.
