FEES AND EXPENSES

We offer several ways of making recordings: the CD package, live concert recording, and recording projects.

A very good reason to make a recording is to make a profit. Our complete CD package offers a potential net profit of $9500 (less shipping. copyright fees, and travel). For $5500 you get two unlimited days of recording (three in special circumstances), editing, mastering, 1,000 CDs with custom graphics, 4-page insert and traycard, clear tray, UPC, shrinkwrap and world-wide on-line sales through the Klarity Music website. No cost over-runs and delays, and no excuses! You get a first-class product with the attention of a producer and detail of an engineer. We also offer label-placement assistance.

During a recording project, the last thing you need is the nagging thought of a clock ticking away the dollars. To enable you to think only about making music, we offer a day-rate. You are then free to record or relax as you prefer.
