although ive finished a track in about 4 hours before

and ive also had tracks that take me over 20, but those were happy hardcore or hardstyle tunes, not dubstep

but, if you said yourself you spend 10-15 on a track, then why didnt you include that in the poll?
I pressed the wrong button instead of add tried to edit but it wouldn't let me.

I meant a tune from start to finish not how long do you spend in a session on a track

It really depends. I seem to get most of a tune done in 1 4 hour session. After that it takes a while to detail it and fine tune and piss around with the mix. That could take anywhere from 1 more 4 hour session on in to infinity.

not long on all the stuff ive uploaded so far...

But the stuff im working on ive been workin on them for weeks.
Cant get to the computer every day but i spend a far few hours on them.

Mastering takes me a while....i havent actually mastered anything that ive uploaded properly.

Im working on a new Dubstep/grimey tune and i took hours on the drums and they still need work.

need some decent fucking monitors aswell.

Depends, sometimes if i'm feeling especially inspired, and don't have anything to do the next morning, i'll just sit for four or five hours just maing one tune.

Then others can take weeks of little two hour sessions, it's all relative.

So you do actually produce. Why the stupid trolling?
