What's your average track count?

General Discussion

Just curious… I feel like my average track count is always low. 12 - 18 tracks at the most (includes sends/returns)

I would say 16-20 excluding the FX tracks (which I haven’t used that often yet). But it depends on the music style. It can go up to 40 in some cases. I just try to keep it simple. Less is more. :wink:

I usually end up with 30-40+ tracks as I layer many instruments.

Is your music on SoundCloud?

I’m thinking around 16 tracks including sends/returns in the final file.

While I’m working though. There are tons of instruments and tracks in the file with ideas that I’m trying.

I’d say 12 to 16. It’s usually low, but I tend to favor simplicity in my creative proccess so it makes sense.
Edit: okay, I went to check on some of my recent tracks and the average was 20. I guess I was underestimating just a little bit.

Up to 100, though I usually put individual DSP and samples on new tracks (i.e. having seperate tracks for different hats, individual tracks for different type of FX) mostly for faster workflow, faster on-the-fly changes and more/easier automation of FX parameters. Here’s an example project:
