Today I've been wondering about how many tunes other producers finish within a week. I myself approximately finishes one or two tunes a week. But I'm a big fan of slacking, so does why.

Soooo, how many tunes do YOU finish within a week?

.5-1

Usually one a week, sometimes breaks, sometimes 2 a week. I think if I finish what I'm working on now I'll have 2 done in a week. Both DNB.

zero

I write nearly everyday - delete about 50%, consider about 30% for inclusion in live sets, about 19% ever goes to tunes, that last 1% is stuff thats made it from the drawing board to an M.E.'s inbox/in a press kit/djs/ect.

If youve never noticed, the producers you look up to probably have <20 releases total in thier entire careers.

If you think your tunes are good, work on them longer, because your own impatience is probably holding you back ALOT.

I used to be a tune an hour type. Bad news.

Like, one out of every hundred, and only half of those will ever be heard by anyone but myself.

Lol iv never properly finished a track
I just get bored/depressed with them and they get deleted

Your dubstep WIP in your sig is pretty cool, stick with it.

Good advice basic a

I don't think I've ever completed a track hahah. I always work on putting a tune together for days and end up scrapping everything bc I feel as though I can do better by starting something new.

It's exhausting to the mind to listen to something so many times, how do you guys cope with getting through a tune without losing interest? I strive to eventually finish a track and still be completely into it.

50%

A really good solid 16 measures. Usually a month to finish a whole song.

Same

At the moment, 1-3 a week depending on what else I'm up to. This week I've had mastering stuff to do, and been dicking around with sound design so have only managed the 1.

I've been not finishing anything lately, nothing is really sitting right with me

Within a week? 0.1 :/

I think the key is to not just sit there and listen through that awesome loop you just made a hundred times.

maybe 1 or 2 a month 3 if i'm lucky (that i'm happy with)
then i usually wait a month or half a month to go back and finalize them so i have fresh ears
i'm in no rush since my first step of quality control is myself

I get this sometimes- tbh it just means you're getting better, keep working through it and you'll have a phase where you smash out a track a day for a while, makes it all seem worth it.
