totally agree, in which case send your track to the labels which manage the artsists that influence you and explain that you want to take your music further but need the investment, its a tough time in the industry right now but this should be your next step.

Like Ricky said...can take anywhere from a few hours to render an arrangement...and days to complete...it's all the editing, mixing, developing, overdubbing, remixing that takes the time. It's painful sometimes but it's the end result that matters. If I'm not happy with the song....then it's back to the drawing board...sometimes feels perpetual on some songs! It's mainly the lack of quality time I can spend on music as work always gets in the way. Lamp!
Ahhhh...I get it...maybe if I didn't work I wouldn't've been able to pay for Pr!cks renewal!
DOH!

Hey Rich, That contest that you and andy gave away is that about up for renewal,or was that a three year membership, LOL Only joking, You poor Guy, better to let it go eh.
I don't hardly take the time others do on the tracks as I am always in a hurry, so the quicker the better, I have songs that are done in an hour and others that take a bit longer, but My quality is way down compared to most on this site, and I really am not a pro at all, good quality takes time , So take your time.

I recently uploaded a few tracks which were started in about 1970 - is 39 years a record?

Usually takes me ages - never counted the hours but one thing I've learnt is done is better than perfect.
