I laughed hard. Well played. On topic tho, 3-4 weeks imo. If you listen to something a thousand times and still feel it en générale its a safe bet its good to post.

some of the earliest stuff I made I really liked at the time and was very pleased with, then as my production skills got better I started to dislike my older beats, then over time I started to like them again as, although they were badly produced, the musical ideas were there to compensate for my production chops not being up to scratch

now when I make tunes I never like them all that much at the time but then a month or 2 later I start to warm to them

+1 on this, the production quality of the tunes were shit but I can't understand how I made drum patterns that were actually good

If I go by what original songs I haven't deleted off my Soundcloud it would be this one, which means it took about a year.

Me too. The more you know about making music, the harder it gets
