Wow that's a tough one. It's been so long (I started making beats in the 1940s) so I lost count.

I really have no idea. Interesting question though.

I think in recent years I had about 100-300 beats per year. Some just starting ideas. We'll see what my output is like when I get my new computer setup but I have a lot less time than usual.

It can really be a numbers game tho - sometimes I say the first beat is shit make the second beat using the first beat and it'll sound good. Its like say every 1 out of 10 beats is "the one", you better make 10 beats as quick as you can to find the gem. It becomes a process of learning early on when a beat "isn't the one" so you can drop it and move on or use the same sounds but new composition.

Can't recall... many upon many. I had a 6 year hiatus tho.

I will be checking my folders at some point when i make a backup to transfer to my new system, I can literally then tell you how many beats I started since I restarted.

On this PC, 52 in various states of completion. But probably a bit closer to 100 overall. I started out as a rapper, but i kinda branched off and tried my hand at making beats very inconsistently quite a few years ago. Its really only been the past few that I started leaning into the production side and trying to figure it out. Pretty much since the beginning of the year that I signed up here, maybe the year before.
