Is it cool to sell CD's at shows that I recorded at home?

Theyre well produced - good enough to sell at gigs. Bands who sell cds at gigs (which is every band pretty much) unless theyre signed then the cds suck. Yours dont. so sell them then with the cash if your not happy with the stuff youve recorded you can go to a studio. But i'd be very happy with the stuff you've got. Drums are nice. I like it. Reminds meof a band. Cant think who. Damn thats gunna annoy me for a while. O well. In anwser to your question in my view SELL THEM (but fairly cheap - that way you get a bit of cash and people can listen to your music and your fan base will grow!)

Hey thanks Drummerdude666...and others...all good stuff here, and thanks for those that said my tunes were good enough to sell...at least cheaply. I think that'll be the plan...sell em for like $5. If they sell, fine. If not, fine too.

Thanks guys!

I didn't mean to imply that your stuff isn't worth selling for more than $5; believe me, there's plenty of stuff out there for $12-$15 that isn't near as good as what you've cobbled together.

There's a point of balance between pricing something high enough to give it perceived value, and undercutting the standard major label price enough to make people less worried about dropping cash on an unknown. If I ever get together some songs and do another album, I'm going to shoot for the $5 range, because I think that's a good balance. I could be wrong, though. You gotta decide where you think the right balance is.
