Hi Rachelle,

I think it's OK to send this to the list.  The most obvious rule is "you get 
what you pay for". It's up to you to decide what degree of quality you want for 
your project - and that will be the most significant cost-factor. You may want 
to find CD's that are similar to what you have in mind - in terns of production 
style, and find out the cost.  In very broad strokes - you're looking at a 
range of between $10,000 and $20,000 for your bottom line.  Personally I don't 
know anyone who produced a CD for the lower figure... but it may be doable. But 
it always comes down to quality...

Good luck on this project... it's the most incredible thing to do!

  Subject: [HANASHIR:9407] recording budgets


  A question for those of you who have recorded your own CD's:  I am putting 
together a budget for a recording project and would welcome any help in listing 
expenses.  Off the top, I can think of studio time, side musicians/backup 
vocals, cd production, artwork, liner notes, packaging, and distribution.  I am 
also interested in knowing how many hours you have budget per cd cut and any 
other do's and don't's you may have learned along the way.
