Just a silly question :D It seems like it usually takes me a few weeks to finish a song and I don't know if that's too long or not! |

it usually takes me a few months thats only because i'll start a track work on it for a few hours then leave it for a week or two i'm working on about 5-6 tracks right now i'll also take something i did in one track and try it out in another |

I usually spend a few weeks as well, but I can sometimes postpone projects to a few months. |

If I dedicate my time to a track, I can get one done in 5 days with a couple of days extra tweaking the final master.
If I work on it on and off, tracks for me can take like 18 months. Heartbleed has been in production since October 2010... |

Thank you for the input XD I'm glad I'm not alone!
And yes it can take me months to finish a song too! |

I used to be able to finish a track within weeks, even days... right now though I'm taking much longer, not put anything out other than updated clips for several months now... Been struggling for ideas big time and been working on generally improving my production. Also depends on the genre of the track, the ones I'm working on atm aren't hardcore, so it's out of my comfort zone. But I bet if I had an idea for a UK Hardcore track I could finish it within a month. |

Depends on the track. Sometimes a day, sometimes 4 years. :P TBH if I have a full day say 08:00 - 22:00 I should get a full track down with only some mix tweaks to re-visit over the week. Normally I work on them in the week though so it takes longer, usually a week or two. |

It usually takes me several months to finish a track if I happen to finish it which rarely happens. I have loads of great ideas but beyond the synth programming and composition I totally lose interest and it becomes a bit of a chore. I also never settle on just working on one track and usually work on several at a time. On average I finish about two or three songs a year. Unfortunately I haven't managed to finish any tracks so far this year. |

compeletly depends on my mood, how much time I have dedicated to it, how inspired I am, how much effort I put in! anywhere from a weekend to about 7 years lol |

Ionosphere have a few tracks from the early 00's I think they have yet to finish :D
When I started producing I was producing a track every month, basically. Its was a nice rate of production. These day's I find it a little harder to get into the flow of production. I tend to produce at my best when I'm suppose to be doing something else - ie Sleeping, Doing my job or doing University work.
University has almost stopped me producing in my tracks. If I'm not doing university related work, I'm drunk. Every time I sit down and try to focus, I have had my flat mates barging in demanding to play FIFA and Black Ops. I produced some tracks overnight, but I hate my body clock being out of sync. |

Just as guys say, it's completely relative. depending on the track and your motivation to work on it, it can take from few only days all the way to few months. |

I made Yellow Bile in under an hour whilst suffering from food poisoning. It got played on BBC Essex within two weeks. Proud proud moment.
I don't master my tracks however. I pay other people to do that.
Other tracks have taken up to six months of tweaking and fiddling and no one has been in the least bit interested in them. |

Was that the Introducing thing on BBC Essex? Considered sending them material too. A friend in Colne Engaine sent some Dubstep he'd made and it got played out. He got good fast :| |

Yes. Which is fantastic as it's on just after the sport at 7PM. Never thought I'd hear breakbeat hardcore played on BBC Essex let alone it be one of my tunes.

....haha, they're the more recent ones.
We're still trying to finish a track we started in 1996 ffs, let alone the unfinished stuff from 1992/93.  |

It'll take a few weeks for me to finish a track too as the mixdown can sound good today, but listen to it 1 week later and will instead find that it sounds shit xD |
