There's no true formula to such. It all depends on the artist and their schedule and the other people involved. It's probably a bit easier if less people are involved, but Madonna's a busy woman. She's very active in her children's lives. But it's possible she's not spilling as many beans as last time.

"It depends" is the usual workaround when it comes to creative jobs.

As you might have guesses, a "recording" studio is used for recording purposes. Everything that comes beforehand, like songwriting and rehearsing, will happen somewhere else, and guess what there are no rules for that either.
