Of course, the cost all depends on how many songs you do, and how perfect you want them to be. I’ve actually done an entire CD in a weekend, and that was pretty cheap (and rough), and I’ve done full budget projects that take many months and are perfectly radio-ready. So the range could be from less than a grand for a 15 song recording and (way) up. My rate is $50/hr. And remember, 500 CDs sold at $15 each is $7,500 to you!
