i feel it's better to churn out billions of songs made in 15 minutes than to polish anything. is this good practise or is this bad practise? what do YOU do? how long do you spend averagely on a song?

Depends on how long I poop that day.
Admit it, we have all done it.

No. It's not worth it.
Music is a waste of time.

i agree to a degree. maybe not 15 minutes per song but i have a problem with pouring over the same song for so long that my original intent gets lost and just ends up sounding like crap(well, more crap than usual). but i spend about three weeks to two months to right a track usually. im not sure how that relates to actual time spent but i spend maybe a couple hours every other night or so dinking around with tunes.

Spend enough time on the song to make it good and the way you want it. I definitely do a good deal of polishing and fine-tuning before releasing something... usually, the early demos sound quite different when compared to the final version.

Honestly, I get most songs pretty much done between a day and a week. Then I spend a week reviewing it and changing little details.
It depends on how the musician is. Some start a track strong, some finish it strong instead.
And yeah, like Frosty said, it depends on how much I like it. The more I like it, the longer it takes for me, because I get all picky.

I feel best when I get to work on something for a week.
Revising is always okay, I had teachers that preached the importance of being open to the idea of editing anything and everything you've ever done at will. Despite that, I would never suggest that to ant1 because whatever he's doing works well enough to me.

depends if it's finished or not. if it's done, it's done, regardless of time spent.
if it's not finished, take as much time as necessary until it is.
