From start to finish, how long does it take you to produce a song?

How long do you produce a track from start to finish? Also, how much of that time is mixing and mastering?

It depends. From a few hours to a few years.

 

[Psycle Sammy]

Let's say 24 tracks including drums. I would say 3 hours mixing and 30 minutes mastering.

It depends. From a few hours to a few years.

I feel this. I'm constantly working on more than one track.

How long for initial production?

 

[Uncontrolled]

Speaking of open-ended questions... what genre? How many band members? What equipment do I use? How many producers? So many questions.

The time it takes!

I like this answer. You can't put a timeline on art!

 

[Smooth Velvet]

It depends on many things. It can take anything from a few hours to months. Some well-known albums have taken a year to produce, while others have taken a week or so of mixing and production. The important thing is that the result is good.

 

[Pizzasaurus-Rex]

My average is 2 to 3 weeks.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
