Q: historically, how long have you spent on producing your songs starting from the point where they are fully written/you know how everything goes? I feel like I might be expecting a lot of myself to want to have even a halfway decent arrangement after only like 4 hours of working on it. I also think I'm slow
A: usually after 2 weeks of working on the audio only (non-video) the effects of paralysis start to set in, of having worked on it for too long. so regardless of any kind of schedule i might be aiming for, it pretty much would never be longer than 2 weeks for audio/music. usually 1 week for song production is cutting it pretty close. of course, i have always desperately wished it was more like 1 day
