How long does it take to author a track?
September 3, 2009 by Mike
If you’re thinking of authoring your own track for RBN, you’re probably wondering how long it’s going to take you to do it. The honest answer is that it varies pretty dramatically based on the track you’re authoring.
For example, if you’re authoring a fairly simply track that has repeating choruses and versus with a simple guitar solo; you’re looking at 15-20 hours total.
If you’re authoring a complex Steve Vai guitar diddy, or a King’s X prog-rock 10 minute song; you’re looking at closer to 40 hours.
As you author more tracks, you’ll learn more shortcuts in the process, and are able to get things done in a more timely fashion. Expect your first track to take somewhere between 40 to 50 hours, not including auditioning, peer testing, or QA.
Some of the authors at Harmonix have said that they can get a song done in about 12 hours, including all the parts.
