RATES and CONSIDERATIONS for RECORDING with ARTIST CAREERS INC



Nashville - the music capital for Gospel, Country, Christian, and over 35% of all pop


CONSIDERATIONS that effect price and recording:
  • Type of Music
  • Symphonic and big band cost more; self-contained bands are less
  • Use your own band musicians and singers, or Nashville 'A' list players?
  • Time constraints - do you have one week to record, a day, or three months?
  • 5-Star project or budget variety?

Custom recording projects including project management
There are day rates, and there are project rates - for your producer, engineers, musicians, studios, and CD pressing. Your producer will quote you custom rates based on your specific needs and requirements. Ask for a "job rate" or "project rate" discount with McClure & Trowbridge Publishing Ltd (mention this page.)

Budget
- You bring musicians, singers, charts - We give you discount rates by the day or project rate. Great for self-contained bands, songwriter duos, and combos. We'll fill in the gaps and lend a hand when you need it, and we'll stay out of the way and get you down on the hard drive or tape when that's called for.


Nashville Studio Rates
Five star Nashville studios
- Have pretty steep rates of $1500 to $2500+/day (same studios and engineers used by Jewel, Garth Brooks, ...) Allow extra for engineer, producer, players, and singers.

Nashville 'A' Studios
- Most studio rates $650 to $950/day for top studios with engineer

Budget
- $45 - $65/hr- quality budget studio and engineer. Often they specialize in one subgenre and do very good work in that area. Be careful if your music style is outside their specialty area. (For example, they may be great at rock and garage, but you'd be wasting your money on country. Or they could be very good at country Christian but woefully inadequate at rock and bluegrass.)

Saving money (inexpensive) doesn't always equal a better deal! Like buying a car, quality costs, but you don't want to get ripped either. Look for rapor and a sense of "speaking the same language" and "being on the same page". And look at samples of albums and custom projects from that studio.

Mastering Rates
Mastering is the least understood step in making a master record for release and sale. It uses highly specialized studio gear and mastering engineers tend to be highly trained.
