Demo Recording

One of the first thing you will ever need to market your self or your band, is a 3 song demo CD.
Most venues don't even look at you if you haven't got anything to show for.

Creating a demo on a tight poor musicians budget can be a problem, however, whatever you do, don't skimp too much. It doesn't have to be a perfect produced sound, but it has to represent you in such a way that you can hand it over with confidence, not with embarrassment.

Cheap home recording, may give you something as a reference for yourself, but it may backfire if you
try to use it to get a venue, manager or label interested.

The best option is to check around at different studios and see if they have any deals on recording demos.

The Alchemix Recording Studios offer great deals, and offer 1day demo packages.

Just make sure that you and any other musicians have the material perfected before going into the studio.

Don't waste time, if you can get it done in one day, it becomes affordable.

Studios who have no packages work on an hourly rate, (usually between $70 and $120) and it can get very expensive if you don't have it together.
