Now I’m a little confused. Since most EDM tracks are about 6-9 minutes, that’s a pretty substantial edit
I’ve noticed EDM intros have gotten much longer since the nineties. 16/32 bar intros were the norm but now 64 seems standard. The buildups are also much longer. I’m even setting my first real musical cue point 2-3 minutes into the song now and then. Maybe the lazier DJ’s are following this trend?
It is actually very genre specific these days.
Trance/Progressive usually have very long intro outtros and are on average of 7 minutes long
Electro/Fidget/Breaks are usually around 5:30 mark…with the intro being 1 minute and the outtro being 1 minute.
A lot of the main stream commercial music follows the same pattern.
You will notice a lot of radio edits are 3:30 long…which is pretty much the whole song except the intro and outtro
House(eurohouse not club house)/Deephouse/Techhouse have the similar pattern but vary in song lenth…5:30-9minutes
