All this talk about peoples music got me thinking about how long people have been making music, and how long they waited till they released their first track.
I have been making music for 6 years and released after 4 year of making music.
How long have you been making music for?
if you count annoying the neighbours with the drumkit i got for xmas when i was 11, - 43 years. (sh!t is it that long ?)
i released my first vinyl when i was 18 (still drumming) so 7years of drum practice.
i started making electronic music (electrofunk) in 1983
i started making techno in 1990 and released my first techno track in 1993, (so 3 years before i even let anyone hear anything as far as techno is concerned)

I think there are probably quite a few exmaples of great pieces of music made by inexperienced musicians. can't think of any really obvious examples off the top of my head. 'blowin in the wind' by Bob Dylan maybe ... think he was a young'un then. and less well known is Panda Bear's s/t debut album and Caribou's first album too. i really love those albums.
I'm not saying quality control, patience, perseverance and dedication are bad things, though.

played percussion in the primary school orchestra from the age of 9-11.
Got my first decks at 16
Start A level music tech at college at 17
Got my own computer at 18
first netlabel release at 21
first digital release at 22
still waiting for vinyl at 24 but i'm sure that will happen before i'm 26 that's my target. if i miss my target i'll set another one.

i started mumbling with cubase 7 years ago on my flatmate's computer, 1 year after i had started djing. It was dnb at that time.
Took the whole thing more seriously when i bought monitors, still for dnb. that was 3 years ago i think. However i wasn't even thinking of releasing any stuff.
Two years ago started working on some border community stuff and started playing around with the studio eins again. From then on i've really caught with minimal techno. Got my first releases this year, but havent't got my sound exactly where i want it to be yet, so i sometimes wonder if it was wise to release stuff this early...
still searching for the holy grail...
To the OP, I don't think it's a matter of years of "production", rather a question of maturity in sound, which one acquires at different rates. no?
