gettin faster

[Ash Holmz]

how many of u can make your tracks alot faster than u could when u first started?..and how long does it take you?....... i remenber it used to take me like almost a month to make a track.... noow i can my make 2 sometimes 3 in a day.. i mean these aren't final mixdowns but the sounds and patterns are all there.... u guys?

 

[Loose Cannon]

I can do about 2-3 in a day if i want to. But yea, i can make beats a lot faster then when i first started. I can make them take a lot longer then when i started too. It all depends on how im feeling and whats bouncin around in my head.

 

[Equality 7-2521]

ive found it takes me longer these days.

when i started i just put together simple shit

but now i wanna try to be more intricate.

but i know what your saying...and yes i can make beats faster these days

 

[Guevara]

on a good day i can bang out 3 tracks but there have been days where ive kicked out 30 ideas just jumping from track to track and then going back and gettin serious later.

 

[DJ Hoppa]

i go on binges....i'll wake up sometimes, jump straight on this shit, and work for 12 hours surviving only on cigarettes and weed. For most tracks, i basically finish the whole structure and progression in one sitting, and eq later after my ears have rested

 

[afriquedeluxe]

man, yall got speed. me i tink ive gotten slower, proly cuz i put more in a beat, but bck in da day id make like 20 beats in a month, but nowadayz i make like one beat a week, if im luky id proly make 3 a week, but i cnt force music so like michael jackson said, i have to wait for the line 'music writes itself' to be true

 

[inrctyhoodmusic]

The most i ever did was 8 in a day of the eight I liked 6 But omtimes I have to take a break for like two or three weeks because things start sounding the same to me no matter how I do it or what different sounds or tempos I use But in a mont I would say my average is about 9-12 beats a month

 

[DJ Excellence]

On average I'd say I make 4/5 beats per month... I wish I had more time for that but right now I'm concentrating on my studies (I'm doing a Master's in Marketing).

 

[young le]

how quickly i make beats depends how many hot samples i find. i still like to take my time though

 

[JPeg]

I typically work hella fast but im trying to take more time to select thr sounds and make shit sound tighter.

but for the most part i'll make 10 beats keep 2 and scrap the rest than make 10 more beats and keep going thru this cycle

 

[jclay12345]

I can make tight beats in about 15 - 20 minutes, but what takes me a long time is when lyrics are added to it and I have to fix the levels right. I still can't mixdown any faster than when I started.

 

[J.VAZQUEZ]

when i was workin' on album (FEMME) my home studio was gettin' rebuilded & I did track in 'bout 20 ' in the living room (MOMMA'S CRIB!!!???).Now is the second single.

[DJ Excellence]

VAZQUEZ : that girl is the SH*T ! ... Do u get to see her pretty often ?

 

[PrOLifiK]

When I first started out and I was clueless it would take me forever to come up with something. Now I can bang out a dope beat in no time. Of coarse it takes a little bit of time to lay it all down in a full track, but I can make a beat faster now than before.

 

[Craig Gantt]

I dont know how yall make those so fast just lookin at this new Triton and Mpc I got makes me feel like Im going to take an eternity to get a beat out:headbang:

 

[luxx]

I wish i had the problem of looking at a triton and mpc but I can make like 3-4 beats a day 80 - 90% complete, but after that I just cant do it any more even if I want to. my mind gets lazy the edge is gone, so I just have to get up and go do something else. Its been a long time since i had enough time to sit down and make any more than 1 beat though.

 

[nas2000xl]

i can do about 3-4 beats a day. i could do more but i also have a studio to run in which i have to edit and mix tracks. out of a 24 hr day i might spend 12 hours engineering and 6 hrs making tracks. on the other hand if all i have to do is edit and mix then i would spend about 12 hrs making tracks and 6 hrs editing and mixing.

 

[voorheezMP]

Voorheez can makes about 4 to 5 trackz in a two day period, finished & unfinished. Bein' that his dayz off are sundayz and mondayz, on those dayz he rocks out. It's funny wit voorheez, he might finish 3 of they on them two dayz. And tha rest, that week. Voorheez might make two more in that process of finishin' tha remainin' 2or3. Then he'z off for like a week and a half. Tha good thing about this work out for voorheez, is that he rarely runs into blockz. Right now it's kinda a struggle to get down durnin' tha week, alwayz hungry for more beatz..............He's a "BEAST"..........lol

 

[Cold Truth]

as for me, it seems that it is taking longer, not faster. the reason being that i would try and get the whole thing done at one sitting, so i would settle for somethings even when i didnt really think it was my best. i run into blocks all the time..... personally i think they are good for me, because it makes me ocus on something else for a while- its not good to be completely wrapped up in beats (for me personally) and rhymes.... i got things that are more pressing to me then this, as much as i am passionate about what i do.

the other thing is that i am doing more to it, engineering wise, adjusting levels, panning, effects, etc- things i did not have and havent had for most of my producing years. all in all the it comes down to something chad hugo said in remix magazine- "just because music can be made quickly doesnt mean that it should"..... and for me i am quite content to let a half finished track sit until i can get it right.

 

[MassProduktionz]

If I didn't have to work, I'd be able to make a couple of beats a day. The difference is now I use my production time more efficiently.
