It's nearly 4am here and I finally was able to break away from Logic for a bit.

I was just wondering how much time other people spent poring over their tracks each week?

not long enough, but it varies week per week. have done barely any in the last couple of weeks. sometimes i spend 6+ hours a day, but normally not.

average like 20 hours a week. would love to put in more hours, but the bills gotta get payed too.

10-40.. really varies, but almost alwaysa couple of hours as soon as I get in from work. Seems the most productive time... after 8 hours in the office there's not much I'd rather do!

Not long enough! Manage a couple hours here or there of a weekday evening (I usually do an evening class once a week too, which is good for a solid few hours), sometimes get some extra time during the weekend but it is totally dependent on what else is going on.

If I could spend 10+ hours a day doing it I would! Not a snowballs chance these days though...

2 hours after work if I am lucky. I am busy doing other things at the weekend so in total I may get about 3 or 4 days a week if I am lucky after work. Sometimes I wont get a spare hour all week to sit down:(

the decent thing about being 16 is I'm home 80% of the time

.

it changes alot, if i have at least a fivers in the morning i can produce for about 12 hours maximum.. just the motivation to keep on doing it really

Loads of producers who are doing well right now started off making music at a young age also. It really does take a lot of time to learn things by urself at home unfortunately:(

Use ur time wisely!

i know what you mean, so good when you occasionally hear something that just makes you think 'i wanna create' though

Minimum 20-30 hours per week.. even when working a full time job, plus I am married with 2 kids.

When I am not working full time, it goes up a bit, but I usually use the extra time practicing cello.
Bottom line is - it is always possible to find enough time to work on music, no matter what your schedule.

Something that has been working for me recently, is that I work for 30 minutes everyday before getting the kids ready for school (while having my first cup of coffee). I think the combination of still being half-asleep & dreaming plus knowing I have a very finite amount of time to sketch out new ideas is a winner, cos I usually am able to sketch out a new idea every morning. When I come back to it later in the day, if it still sounds like a good idea, I'll hash it out. If not, I might cannibalize it for parts or just put in the "tinker with later" pile... But it has been great for getting a constant stream of new ideas out.

Really varies tbh, being 18 I don't go to college anymore and I just work part time although I have been doing alot of overtime.

Well, lets see. I'm usually working my day job for 40-45 hours a week. Then I get about 25-30 Hours a week in for production...wish I had more time...i need a clone.
