Yep. That song I was raving about, it took me 8 hours to do the first minute. And I've only done the drums! I plan to make it about 3:30-4:30 mins in the end... bloody hell, does it take everyone this long, or am I just crap?

recently i've been editing songs for hours, but usually over a period of 1 or 2 days..the more time the better though, usually..however, i've made plenty of songs that took a lot of the time and then just thought 'it doesnt do anything for me' and got rid of them..i hate that..

Well now I know just HOW MUCH superior to dance music IDM is. I can put together a decent dance tune in about 10-20 minutes!
People shouldn't dance normally. They should jump around like they're having a fit, which is what I do along to Squarepusher. When I see people in clubs, they're not letting off adrenelaine, they're just looking at women's cleavages.
I'm glad now, anyway, that I'm making music I'm proud of.

I have yet to spend over an hour or two on a song (and it shows!). I just sort of like blurting out things.
Maybe I have ADD or something

if it's taking a long time, and it's not sounding that great, then quit and go back to it later.
aphex has several things going at once.

greygent - yeah im similar to that
i rush things out - i should spend more time on the production...err the polishing off of the trracks...i thnkn thats where most fo the time should be spent.
if you spend most of the track making time scratching your head and wondering what to do next.....might aswell be watchign Tv or somehting while you thjink.
what am i trying to say. fuck i dont know

oh fuck. settle down. i was going to add a comment about that, but i figured you people would have picked up on the sarcaism there.
don't be telling me shit like "if aphex does it you have to too!" from what i've seen and read, most of the people here have no clue what they're talking about. i'm not gonna say who, and i'm not trying to say i'm all high and mighty. but for alot of people here, that's all they try to sound like. i've heard alot of music by alot of people that come here. there's some good stuff, and there's some bad stuff. but regardless, 80% of it sounds exactally like aphex twin.
at the same time, we're on an aphex board. i figure he's a better refrence to something like this than most other people, cause everyone here knows who he is obvousily (i hope).
i'm just saying, go work on something else, then come back to it later as soon as it starts to fustrate you. once you start getting fustrated, it's best to take a breather. do a shitty dance track and make yourself laugh. then go back to it.
it was sarcasim people.

Oh. Well let me just ask are you Paul "digitiser" Rose himself or just someone who stole his name? I haven't read any of your posts here but Paul "digitiser" Rose himself sent me a rather nasty e-mail a while ago which I shall never forget.

Here are the times I spend on each element of my tracks:
- Creating synth sounds: ~ 1-4 hours - Drum sounds: ~ 1-2 hours - Compiling good sounds: ~ 15 mins - Thinking up a decent melody/drum line: ~ 15-30 mins - Making a track around it: ~ 1-6 hours (sometimes spread over a few days)
- Post production (reverb, glitches etc): ~ 2-4 hours
A few other things: - If I'm doing something (ie. surfing net, studying, watching tv etc.) and I get inspired to do a song, I stop doing whatever it is and load up FT2... By inspired, I mean I hear something and it makes me think up a really good melody or drum line... My song 'Ambiblismpot' (from members.fortunecity.com/fragilenine/naxmusic.html) is an example, and also my remix of orangedust's song 'Option'. I had the bassline in my head all day and new exactly what I wanted the song to sound like...
- I'm better at guitar than I am at keyboard, so I come up with my melodies mostly on guitar.
This is probably useless information, but who cares, eh?
