out of interest... how long do you guys spend composing a
piece of music? do you do it all in 1 go? does it take an
hour, a night, a week?

I really have no idea, the only thing i ever mad was done in
about 25mins: http://www.ekmag.com/chap/ambient.mp3 i guess it shows too :)

anyway, id be interested to know how much time you guys take

Sometimes one afternoon. sometimes a couple of weeks. I
think it depends on your creative juices as it were.

Took me a week each to do most of my songs but I kept going
back to them for at least a couple of months so in total...
my ten songs have been created in 2 years.

Some tracks are finished in one day, it usually depends on
how detailed i want them to be, or how many programs i can
be bothered to use to make them. Lots of tracks take ages to
finish, like several months or so, because the files lie
around on the drive and sometimes gets lost.

Chri5py: Are your tracks available online?

I really does depend, there's one or two track that have
been tinkered with for months and they still aren't
finished, sometimes (at my fastest) I've done 3 tracks in
one night.

well, Im getting a little picky these days, for my tracks
that I am 95% happy with I usually spend between 1-2 weeks
on it, and I seem to be averaging 1 finished track a month.
I make plenty of other lesser tracks between pieces, things
that are usually finished in a day or two, but they never
amount to much... basically just ideas.

It took me a long time to do some of my stuff. Things I had
just made random patterns for and not tied together. But
ordinarily, my tracks take me around a week or two.
