Studio Time - If I were working on a new project I will produce the music for it at home rather than in the studio because all I need to produce the music is a pc/mac, a pair of headphones and a daw to work on, plus, this will help me save time and money and I will be very concentrated on composing new ideas and extending those ideas into a full length song. However, if I were to work in the studio I would work at 'Bowerman Studios' for £35 per hour or £250 for 8 hour session. This studio has great hardware and software equipment and this equipment will be very handy to use in my project in terms of producing and recording. I can also use this studio time to mix down my songs as well as recording them and producing them.
Mastering - I would send my finished mixes to a professional mastering engineer because I know as a producer I shouldn't master my own music. If I want a great sound each of my songs the best thing to do would be to send them to a professional mastering engineer because they will have the best hardware and software equipment and EARS to make my pre masters sound professional just like commercial songs I listen to. I would send my pre masters to www.ebonyredaudiomastering.com because they charge £25 for 1 track to be mastered professionally and I have listened to examples of their work and I really like what I hear. They have also mastered music for BBC Radio 1Xtra and this means they are professional, reliable and dedicated engineers that take their clients seriously.
Artwork - For artwork I would pay £10 to an artwork designer and I will tell what I want it to look like and I will also tell to write whatever I want him to write. For example I will tell him o write my artist name and the title of the E.P. £10 for a 1 sided digital piece of artwork is a fair price because it isn't too high or too low. It's important for me to find an artwork designer who can create top quality artwork for artists and producers and charge very little for it. Also, artwork is what makes a music product stand out and capture people's attention. So it's important for me to make my music product stand out as much as possible.
Online Promotion - I would promote my music product myself and I would do this sharing the artwork of my music product on my personal facebook account and official facebook fan page. I would also share the artwork on twitter and instagram as well as facebook because these two social network sites are used by a lot of people and this is a beneficial way of letting people know I'm releasing a music product and it will convince a lot people to have a listen to it. Another way I can promote my E.P is by uploading songs taken from my E.P to soundcloud but not making them downloadable and I will write the details of each song in the description and this way the people of the public can have a preview listen of what's to come. I can also upload a video with 30 second previews of each song that will appear on my E.P to youtube and by doing this I am promoting myself more and I'm spreading the word to people about my E.P.
Radio Plugger - Instead of hiring a radio plugger I will send some of my E.P tracks to radio stations using http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/introducing/uploader because it's free to sign up and this will be a good way of sending music to radio stations and getting radio play for the music that will be on my E.P. It will also help me get more recognition as a producer and artist and this will be a good way of showcasing my talent to people. This website is a very useful site to send music to radio stations because I can select which radio stations to send my music to and I can send music 1Xtra as this radio station is listed and 1Xtra is where most RnB and hip hop tracks are played. I can also earn royalties for radio play as long as I have signed up with PRS.
I would make my E.P a free download if I wanted to but if I wanted to make a profit out of it I would sell it for £3.00 and if I managed to sell 500 copies of my E.P I would earn £270.00 profit. By making a profit out of my E.P it shows how much people appreciate what the hard work and effort I have put in to make my E.P project happen and it also shows how committed and dedicated I am as an artist and producer. I will have spent £1230 pounds to produce, record, mix, master my E.P and get someone to do artwork for my E.P and this is how I would've made £250 profit.
