How Efficient is your environment??

What I'm asking ,is how easy does your environment make it for you to
Produce Hi quality Music in a reasonable amount of time

In your environment how many Quality Tracks are you producing and how long does it take make the average Beat???

I'm the bottleneck in my system, both time- and quality-wise.

Drums - only a matter of switching the mpc on and making / selecting a drum program.

Keys/Synth sounds - starting cubase and one of the synthesizers.

Guitar - pick it up, tune it and plug it in. Doesn't take long.

I search to some nice samples on vynil/ cd/ cassette/ vcr/ dvd/ minidisk/ nintendo/ internet/ whatever. Load it in the MPC4k. Make an interesting loop. Make a base track, mostly till Im stuck.
Then I record the track in 1 take to the laptop with Nuendo.
Now the most fun part! ->
I start a new song on the 4k and name it " Example part2 " and I put this in the subfolder of the maintrack ( Example part1 )
I start loading/ searching samples again and make a program, assign the samples to different pads and then i just record direct to Nuendo. Playing the MPC as a real instrument, without quantizing! . Fun, fun!
Then I add skratches, guitars, bass, vocals, synthz and virtual instruments to Nuendo.
If you got different MPC's this method is even more fun!
The reason I make two tracks is simply to keep it simple and for not distroing anything and for having 4 new FX slots free.
Its not a RAM issue, there's plenty of it.

When the track is completely finished, I record every single part from mpc 2 pc and mix it in Nuendo with Waves. Then bounce to disk and do little tweaks ( EQ, comp, limiter ) in Wavelab or Cool edit.
Done!

not sure if i would call my tracks high quality but my small small small setup does what its supposed to.

it depends on what im doing with the track wether it takes real long or not. on average i might spend 3 or 4 hours on a beat. thats just laying the tracks and sequences down but that dosnt include putting a mix on the shi*. might take me between 10-30 minutes to get a good sounding mix and do whatever extra effects i want in it.

that might seem long to some folks, but i get really deep in my music when im doin it. but thats just me
