I played this for the first time yesterday. I only had the PH available. I started the flutes then began attacking. With the rat caves still present it was a little hard getting the generals where I wanted them, but I managed and took it all the way to the final camp. By that time the flutes were ready - I took care of that part of the quest - then all the other quests showed completed in turn. Then I took out the last camp.
So while the flute build time is rather long, it does help to do as Dorotheus suggests and start the flutes then do the attacks on the main camps. If premium isn't an issue then you could also just start the flutes before bed or work or whatever then finish later.
Sorry, but I've slept since then...

Sure I start the flutes at the same time as the adventure. And that saves a little time. But I don't block for example. I just kill all camps and I have enough generals to divide them over several places. So if G1 is your landing zone I will usually have another gen working on G2 or G3. Which means the camps go down really fast. And then I still have to wait ages for the flutes to finish. Yes could go do something else in that 1.5 hours. But leaving an adventure run for 1.5 for well no real reason at all grates on my nerves. I don't have to wait for my generals to recover (got enough to do all camps in one run) so all I am doing is waiting for those flutes to finish -_-. They are already expensive to make resource wise so why also so slow to make? I really do not see any use for those ridiculously slow crafting times.
When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's
As I said on page one, I start the flute making even before sending gens to the venture and still have to wait at least 1h, and that is when I take it slow, I don't block either btw, I and no one else should have to wait at least 1h to finish a venture because of slow venture buff making, so cut the making times, please
or you could, you know, use a buff on R/PH
Why waste a buff when you have no intention to make other things in PH?
