Moro,
 
Tarvittaisiin bändin kanssa muidenkin henkilöiden näkökulmia tähän levytyssopimus-asiaan. Kyseessä on siis eurooppalainen lafka, jolla on oma studionsa Italiassa. Haluaisivat, että menisimme sinne äänittämään 260e/pvä taksalla. Ehdotimme, että äänittäisimme täällä Suomessa, mutta eivät oikein lämmenneet (kts. alin palsta.) Joutuisimme todnäk itse maksamaan lennot, neuvoteltavissa?
 
Kiitos ajastanne ja mielipiteistänne.

-You will get as many cds as you need (for free) for your own promotion as long as you tell us where they have been sent , regarding sales in concerts we usually split 50-50 with the band (10 euros per copy..5 to you, 5 to us)
 
Promotion:
 
We will chose the best options for the band after having tested the album with a mailinglist where we propose the cd for review. Then when we get answers we ship the cds to make a sure shot and not waste copies and money. After that 2-3 weeks we recall for review. We collect all reviews and we read them. To all marks up to 6-7 we ask for interview. Our press dept will provide you monthly reports. Our media database is around 1500 targets, excluding the ones we do with Mp3s like web radios for insance.We also promote the band as being their mnagement to Clubs, Festivals,
Agents, Publishers, ADV, Sync deals, licensing deals, endorsements..

Of course we are always open to work on the needs / ideas that the band may have. Btw with all these efforts and investments is not the very best to read " yeah but we can record for less " .. you can also record for nothing, if you do the album in your room but why a label should spend money on your music if you spend nothing, or less than what is Realsound offering? They found the band and they have such a massive studio and we will not be able to bypass them as honestly, without realsound I would never have the chance to get to know you so just talk to them if you are interested! Also we never cover recording costs as we issue licensing deals..the album is yours and we only license it for 5 years and also, again, why should we invest on someone that is investing nothing?? The thing has to be mutual, otherwise it will never work!
