As with everyone else it seems it very much depends on the projects im working on at the time it can be 45 minutes from switching on the gear to a finished dat copy and some times it will take me a couple of days, i generally have a rule that if im not really feeling where the track is going after 2 hours i will just scrap it and start something else though that is particulary true for dance floor stuff. the more complex detroity string stuff usually takes me longer than anything else to make though and the stuff i just knock up tends to get the best reaction and sales ...............................i think that says something ;)
