that's very true, but not every beat is the same, you can make a great beat in 4 hours, and another might be made over a period of a week
you can't generalize how much time it takes to make a beat based on the level of ''dopeness''
every single one is an art in itself and its different
if you cant make a dope skeleton of a beat in less than 2 hours, you might wanna find a new profession.
Its not hard. its all about workflow. If you have your sounds organized, know where to find what you want, and know some basic synthesis and production techniques it speeds shit up.
Alex Da Kid doesnt have beats all over the place because hes working on other projects and not freelancing.
Dre isnt all over the place because Dre isnt popping as an artist or a producer anymore. Thats why he's doing features and riding the Kendrick Lamar wave to get back on the scene
its not hard to get a dope skeleton. Drums that hit hard, basic verse, hook.. and if you got time for it a bridge. The artists record... you say youre gonna work on it more at the crib. and then you produce the song. Fx and all that might take some time. But remember youre working on other peoples time not your own.
you gotta have a library i cant stress it enough. People arent gonna sit and wait for you to get your shit in order. They just gonna keep it moving.
as far as what im working on? beat wise, whatever comes to mind
artist wise?
Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Kent Money of Surf Club, Mac Miller, Big Sean, A$AP Rocky, and a couple others that i dont wanna name just yet.
