Well, it really depends - sometimes it might take me a month of playing around, or sometimes it will take a few hours to create a song. Thanks at the 'making synth strings sound good' bit (cause they typically reek as an instrument in general).
I don't actually play any instruments really, but I've messed with music composing software since I was in 8th grade (back when it was almost exclusively in DOS) and using synthed instruments is mostly all I know (I'd love to get real recordings for those parts, but I don't have the means to at the moment).
Rest assured, if there's anything that I'd like to borrow that I can't otherwise lift, I'll let you know (or if I need some help contracting professional-sounding music for any upcoming flashes).
