CD Show Reel

Our initial pricing was £750

We broke this down into

• £500 – Recording, Mix, Mastering – Travelling there to record.
• £150 – Studio Rental – To record at where we were located
• £100 – CD Production Fee – We create the CD’s and send them out

Dave Mallet (Lincoln College Music) agreed that the recording cost was fair. He said on the surface it looked expensive but as he thought about it, it seemed just.

Dave said he couldn’t justify paying for the studio rental as they have facilities of their own to record in.

The CD production fee was also something Dave was not interested in as he felt that was something they themselves could also do.

We will use Dave’s feedback to help us adjust our pricing.

 

Dave Mallett is the program leader of The Lincoln College music courses. We decided to speak with him about our idea of a compilation CD. Joe was on the music course so we used this to create a less formal meeting with Dave.

Before the meeting, we created a simple product layout which had the intentions of the product. We wrote down some ideas for who the project would help and mainly how much it would cost.

We met with Dave on Monday the 10th of October at the college. We spoke about the idea and how we thought it would be able to help the college. He liked that it would give his students a taste of what university would be like. The budget of the project was the big factor as Dave was not too keen on the pricing. He said that the extra fees for recording at the university and the fees for CD production were too much. Being in a music college they would have all the facilities to do this so he said he would mainly be paying for our time and experience as engineers.

Overall the meeting went really well and Dave was very on board with the project. We exchanged emails and agreed to meet the bands he had chosen to set up some dates.
