Anywhere from 12 - 22 tracks; some of those are used for one hit, specific sound effects.
By that logic i only have 1 tracks.
we are almost always duplicating every bass sound and tweaking it to give it some movement whilst staying true to the original sound. This adds up quick!!.
Well shit, I can have one track folded over into it's self ten or plus times. Also I can have one track with a light whoosh… being used just once. For me, the key is to use phonetic words to describe the noise and racks in reason.Some pretty interesting insights into how people work, I am kinda amazed that some people use so many tracks i personal hate having loads of tracks and having the session look messy. I think if i was going to have one session with so many tracks i would want to use pro tools for the group editing and being able to customise the arrange window.
For those who are using 60+ tracks what Daws are you using and how you go about keeping it neat and tidy.
I am surprised no one else uses the same workflow that i tend to go for which is using separate sessions for Drums, Bass and FX. I then create one 'arrange' sessions which i bring everything into and maybe layer and add a few bits and bobs here and there. I find this best for me as i can keep it nice and tidy and also use some of the more CPU hungry plugins. Admittedly it can be kind of annoying going back into other sessions to make minor changes.
I tend to make most of my stuff in logic 9 with each session have roughly 10 - 20 channels.

It's best not to think about this sort of thing. It depends on your style. My music tends to be very stripped back and I've worried about it being too simple at times but it just doesn't sound the same with tons of effects all firing at the same time.
Sometimes simple is best, sometimes not.
You sir have just lost all credibility!I remember watching a TV show about pop music and Britney Spears - Toxic only had 7 tracks TOTAL! Tunes a banger too!
