hmm, around 2 years to complete songs and record them I think, but could be longer for some songs, not sure.

I didn't have a strict deadline in my contract so I was writting my songs slowly whenever I got some inspiration. It took about 1 year. There were more ideas but I cut some songs and parts that didn't really fit into the whole album concept. I ended up with 10 songs that work like one story. As you know, writing music is not a 9-5 job when you get up in the morning and say "let's write a song". Sometimes I don't get ideas for a whole month but there might be times when I write 2 songs in one day.

With experience so far , 2 year period to write all the songs and have them recorded was a case in a band I play with.
But this is really subjective , I guess 3 months is a period to prepeare and record an album and have everything done.But for composing it can be really anything , from a week to few years - only creativity will decide. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

We don't think anything we play is good enough so every idea we come up with we just "throw away" thinking we can do better. Just my opinion of course..... There is always better from better but you gotta start somewhere

Year or two, not sure.
Thing is, musicians very often use some old ideas (even several year old) to put on the new record so it's kind a hard to track the time and duration of whole composing process.

Well yeah, that's very true BUT don't throw away those ideas, record them and let them stay as long as it takes. You might come back after a while and when you listen to those takes you might get whole lot of new ideas from those old ones.

I heard about that and in some way I like that approach, really, he wants to have his time filled with work properly!! What's good or bad from all that, that's another story.

It took 2 years and a half to write, rehearse, and record all the songs of my bands' 1st album. It was a great experience working all day long in the studio. I hope this time, with the 2nd album, won't take that time.

it took me about 2 years to do my current album...the most important thing is to distribute it as widely as you can, to get to as many pairs of ears as possible!!
