That's pretty darn fast. I take days, even weeks to finish a track.

But I hear all the time how some people finish tracks in a day or half a day or whatever. Ferry Corsten finished "Out of the blue" track in a day, and it became a classic. Interesting

Also, I noticed, sooner I finish the track better it turns out to be. I'm really critical to my music, so maybe that's why.

Average for me is 3 weeks. Some tunes get done fast in a week, others take a year or more.

If it's my own production, anywhere from1 to 3 days - if it's for someone else...as long as it takes (sometimes weeks)

Anywhere from a day to a week...

occasionally longer, but if I got the majority of the track down I tend to finish it pretty quick from that point on.

I usually manage to lay down the basic idea in a day or 2, but then take 2 or 3 weeks to do the final track

It can take me that long just to get a few percussion sounds and textures right. I aim to finish a track in five days, although it can take longer.

It takes me around 3-5 days as well to get the right sounds and to get a good arrangement. If a vocalist is involved it can take around a fortnight to try and get the right pitch or tempo or to even get that person out of bed...The lazy asses. I think i may start singing myself. heehee
