i wonder what is the average time you make your track
finnished...i've read once in some interview that []pusher
need about 3 days...if you take into consideration the
complexity of his stuff...jesus...
i'm SO fucking slow (and so my computer is- 133mhz&32 ram
hahahah :-(
and, the best is, i cant be bothered going to work or smth
to earn for some faster comp, coz im sitting all the time
tryun make som music, but im not able to do that properly
coz my comp is to slow!!!
aaaaaaaah
cheers

I've taken op to a month, and that is actually staying on
track with a song. I've made a few before in a mere hour,
and they weren't just shit either, sometimes I can just sit
and get everything in and I'm happy.

Average is most likely 5 days.

i can sit down for 24 hrs to work on a track if i have too..
but that never or almost never happens..
most tracks are finished in about a day.
although some works are.. ah forget it.

I make a track in a couple of hours, then listen to it over
a week or so and keep adding stuff to it.

I often make a track really quick cause if i work too long
on it it always feels wrong and sounds terrible.
It is better to finnish when you feel it's finnished rather
that sitting months with a song and change it to a mess.
One thing I do all the time is re-making songs. I make a
song over a night, in a day or two. Then four months later I
listen to it and it sounds good but not fresh so then I just
make it all from scratch again. well, not always... but
sometimes it works and sometimes not.

yeah i know what you mean.. if you work on a song too long
you start to change things but that only makes things
worse...

usually takes me 3 days, and after a week or so not working
on it i finish it...

I basically agree with the consensus here ..I like working
and wrapping up a song fast..if I dont it becomes another
song altogether...

but on the other hand I spend a lot more times creating
loops, riff, effects, sound ideas and keeping them in the to
be used folder than actually making songs...so by the time I
come around to putting together a song..half my work is
already done...

ok, well, and what about 'mixing'?(to those rather, who
work mostly/onlywith computer)
Do you work on it after finnishing entire track? Like-
adding some reverb, filtering etc...cuz i often find some
effect to be an integral part of a 'composition', not only a
'final touch'. Especially in a genre like electronic/IDM.
And it's sometimes hard to me to split those two things.
Maybe that's the reason i'm working on a song such a long
time...

i hope i'm not stating the obvious here.

on through out...

i don't start to make o song in the evening, cause i know i
will not finish it. i get the best stuff if i make it in one
day. if i try to change something later.. nothing works what
are you working with ?

I used to be able to crank out tunes day after day, each day
making a new song, but it usually never was longer then 5:00
mins.

I think you have to systematically break all your mental
blocks, for instance, I could never make a song over 3:00
mins without losing interest, it took me a long time to get
over that hurdle.

Then I trained myself to work on a song for more then a day,
so usually, I start an idea, do something else, come back to
it, work on it a little, go away, then come back agian,
until its finished.

Its all mental, you have to be mentally strong and beat down
your mental barriers I think.

At least that is what I had to do.

I hope this helps you out somewhat Silesian

Be mentally strong and youll eventually break your mental
blocks that you subconciously put on yourself
