I just tend to do mine in a couple of hours and get it in early lest I get drunk and forget later on in the month.... Rob [/quote] Same here. Mine was pretty simple given the limited concept that I had to work with, and I made it all in about 2 hours. I'm sure there are a lot of things I could have done better with it, but as one of my first attempts at creating a song using midi instruments, I think it's alright for 2 hours work. Although if I needed to spend more time on it, I would have. But I often find that good ideas either come to me, or don't (usually they don't), so when I know what I'm aiming for, it could be done in 2 hours. If I hadn't a clue what I was trying to achieve, it could have taken days. Quote
