I'm not sure how much time I spend in hours, but I tend to work in three main stages: sketch, development, and final mix down. If a track is going well the sketch and development phases will combine together. I typically find that it's better for me to jump around between several tracks because it gives me better perspective on each of them.

Damn true. Overthinking and dragging it on and on will only cause fatigue and self doubt. With that said, I take forever. :lol:

just long enough to be sick of it by the time it's finished :wink: Then again I think its prob a good thing, cuz if I sick of it it means I've really put good effort and a lot of time into it.

A day to make drums and synths etc. Couple of days for automation, layout, EQ'ing etc. I never feel like any of my tracks are finished tbh :lol:

That for sure, I never really finish anything I just eventually give up on it. Though I think everyone feels like this...
