Youre a rapper? A singer? Studio time? can run from $30 to $200+ per hour depending on the studio. In most cases, an album takes 60 to 100 hours to finish depending on the artists’ skill level. Most studios also offer project-based recording rates. One song could cost from $50 to $500 – but at a project-based rate, an entire album could start at around $2000. After an album is recorded, it is sent to a mastering engineer. Average mastering engineering rates are $100+ per song, or $500+ per album. Prices for album duplication vary depending on the selected packaging & order quantity. It is not unusal to spend $3000+ for 5000 professional grade CDs with packaging. Releasing a song or album professionally through CD Baby or iTunes costs around $35. A small percentage of sales will also be charged by online distributors. So, there you have it. Roughly $6500 for a fully recorded, mixed and mastered album with multiple copies (minus the price for beats)..if the prices look scary, get a job and a hustle. If you got a job and dont have the money, learn to save... if you got the money but dont think thats fair, #GiveUpNow and do something different with your time. And if you think thats expensive, just know we producers spent way more than 6500 on our equipment. We learned to invest, so should you. #InvestInYourCraft if you feel deep down inside that this music shit aint for you, dont waste your time. The people who are making it in this world are investing and working hard 24/7, 3-6-5. Can you say the same? #Motivation
