I meant to call this thread something else....oops - however ---
I had a small battle in my mind regarding where I should post this question. I went with the Newbie forum obviously.
I am just finishing up my humble studio's first album for one of my clients. I am really excited about it and love seeing the results of my labor come to fruition (or at least anticipating so).
I am going over the pay logs of my client so he can determine how much of the album's profits will go directly back to him (since he paid for all of the recording/mixing himself) before he distributes the rest out to the other band members. While going over these figures I asked myself a question that I am now forwarding to you - other recording enthusiasts/studio owners:
How much does an unsigned band pay to record an entire 10 song album?
I know it's a very general question with many different factors (studio's rate, hours spent recording, type of music, type of equipment the studio has...) but any estimations would be great. Other related questions would be:
How many hours does recording a full pop/rock band's album usually take? (bass, guitar, piano, drums, electronically programmed drum loops, two vocalists - to be exact)
By the way, the client has already paid, I just wanted to compare what I've received for the project to other studio's results. So if anyone can respond with something like "I recorded a project that took - - hours and charged $ - - per hour/song/mix which totaled - -....and such" that would be awesome.
I know this can potentially be a very delicate topic that may be prying into personal business beliefs/practices/what-have-you's, but I truly don't intend to invade anyone's business or business plans or to create any competitive discomfort.
Thank you
Thanks!
