    how much should it cost a band to do a first album in a studio?

    i've been using boards quite a lot lately to see what general peoples views are because i really don't know much about 'the industry'. i'm in a band that have been together for a while and there's a lot of discussion going on about different things to do such as 'should we find a manager?' or 'should we do a music video?'. another idea has been to do an album and the rest of the guys have their heart set on it. i was wondering how much people thought it should cost for a band to do their first album. we were planning on spending 10 months to a year doing it if not more. the idea of doing it ourselves has been outvoted so its seems to be set that we're doing it in a studio. we were going to do an ep or single but were advised that it would be cheaper in the long run to do an album. can anyone help me out?

    Go to the Music Production forum which is underneath this one...You'd get an answer much quicker from guys working in that area...

    Im a sound engineer that has seen an album costing E14,000 go into a bin (literally), and productions with a budget of E100-E200 make it into the download chart's in the top 3. It all depends what your target is- do you want the "name" producer to re-write the songs, do you want a say in every engineered detail or none...

    feel free to pm me a few details and i'l send you back the sort of fee myself or a few producers would expect, or I can give you a few numbers to ring
