How much does it cost to make a record?

It's kind of like the old question: "How long is a piece of string?" 

These are both questions with no clear answers to them. In the case of making a record we could say: "anywhere between $5000 and $500000" or we can get to an answer that actually helps you if we clarify a few things first:

• What are your goals?
• How much are these goals worth to you?
• Any measurable ROI?
• How many songs?
• How much time do you have?
• Any deadlines?
• Which services do you need?
• What can you do yourself?
• Do you need to buy any gear or instruments?
• How many drum sticks, drum heads, guitar strings, picks and other supplies or tools will you need for the project?
• How about the computer, an online backup tool or hard drive space?
• How good are your songs?
• How good are the takes you've recorded?
• Need any guidance throughout the process?
• Need in-depth coaching or feedback?
• Which deliverables/master formats do you need?
• What's your budget?

Wait, you haven't defined a budget? Or answered all the other questions in detail? This episode is definitely for you! And you're not alone. Many artists don't plan enough, underestimate what the whole process costs or simply haven't defined how much the desired outcome is worth to them or what that desired outcome even is.

Let's jump in to talk money, value and budgeting!
