Oh that's awesome!

Thanks moeesy! Hope you guys are staying safe and well

I don't know how to reply to this.

Thank you sir!

Shiiiiit. I feel personally attacked.

It's hard to say but this track was done for a competition where we could only use one specific sample pack, which means I spent a little less time actually creating the sounds from scratch (although most of the sounds are quite processed and different from the original samples anyway). I probably spent between 30 and 40 hours making this one. I generally spend maybe a third of that time trying to come up with a solid idea and foundation for the track (like the structure, chords and melodies etc). Then the other two thirds of the time is divided into proper production (trying to make it sound good and interesting) and also mixing etc and also adding finishing touches after that if it needs any. I kinda made this track pretty quickly compared to what I normally would have taken these days just coz the competition had a deadline. Sometimes it can take me much longer to get the foundational idea for track sorted too but it's the most important part imo.

Also, thank you for your kind words!

@@Naircol You are welcome! Thank you for the thorough response. I just got into Ableton (using a lite version I got with a Focusrite Scarlett) and I am producing my first track. I have a wife and 3 kids though, so I was looking to see just how much time it takes someone like you, an advanced user, to produce something so polished. Looks like my wife is going to have to hire that backup husband... Hehehe. Keep it up man and thanks again!

@@striderKOG That's awesome! You can definitely do it man! You just need to be ok with chipping away at things! I'm a stay at home dad with a 2 year old atm so I know what it can be like. I'm trying to learn to produce more efficiently too as this type of music is definitely a lot more time consuming than other genres. You can get a polished sound a lot faster if the song or genre you're working with doesn't require as many intricate edits and stuff for example. So it all really just depends on your personal style.
