Hey! My name is Jerimae Yoder and I am with Expert Village. Another place to record your
demo would be a professional studio and the only reason you would want to go to a professional
studio for demo is if this is going straight to A&R reps or if you are recording a 5 song
EP or something that is going directly to audience and you are going to want to distribute
or want to make duplicated copies. That's the only reason you want to go to a professional
studio because obviously when you go to a professional studio, you are paying for an
engineer, you are paying for a producer and you are paying for the time to use all of
their equipment. You are going to get a killer project out of it or a killer demo out of
it but it is going to cost you some bucks to be able to do that and a lot more bucks
than it would be to go out and pick up your own gear and do it at home. Going into a professional
studio you are going to be looking at a cost of $25 and a $100 an hour for the producer
and the engineer. Sometimes you can get a producer that does engineering which is cool
too but then he splits his time which is totally cool. But you are also looking at between
24 and 48 hours of time for a 3 song demo. So you are looking at between $600 and $1,
200; rule of thumb is about $400 per song. That is a pretty decent price in a professional
studio. You have to wave these things at a home studio. You kind of do what you want
and take your time but you only get the quality as far as how good you are at making those
CD's or how as good as you are in using the equipment or your friend is using that equipment.
The professional studio do it all the time, they are really good with what they do and
the level us how good is your song. How much of time did you spend on your lyrics. How
much have you spent on the time to get your music right where it needs to be to get to
the masses or the A&R people.
