just a quick question

How many hours do you guys take to make a dubstep tune?

i know myself i can easily sit around for 5+ hours a day screwing around on my DAW.

but from start to finish how long do u guys take to complete a whole dubstep song?

6 months....but nah seriously i like rarely finish tunes, im still sitting on tunes from up to a year back n im still like yeye i need to finish this but always start next ting and forget about the older ones, if i dont get it like 85% done in 2 days its very likely it will stay at 85%

As long as it takes to sound good....Unfortunately I haven't gotten there yet

between about 12 hours and 6 months.... for the ones that get finished. The ones that don't get zombie-harvested for the good parts.

well printing tracks and my stupid freezing computer take a lot of time.
but id say around 40-50 hours. i do a lot of parts and stuff though.

haha im the same way. my comps got about 12 unfinished ideas/tacks. some took 20 mins some a month already lol

sometimes it can take an hour sometimes a couple days.
but u dont wanna spend way too long cos you'll jus lose it.
i usually start the general idea and if im not feeling it at that moment i leave it a couple of days till i hear some wicked sample or sumting which gives me more inspiration then im back on it again.

My best tracks tend to take the shortest amount of time because stuff just clicks right away.

The longer ones I tend to grow tired of listening to over and over and eventually ditch the project.

Some write themselves in a couple of hours, then maybe a mixdown tidy over a couple hours the next day just to be sure everything sits right. Other times it can take up to a week, maybe more, putting in a good few hours each day. Totally depends on what each tune requires and how quickly I figure out what it needs.
