Quote:

To release a CD yourself or not.




I think it all depends on your expectations. If you're hoping to sell a lot of product and by that I mean about 5000 units per week, you're going to need -

a} A good product, well recorded, produced and mastered.
b) A professional video, which can cost more than a small house.
c] Radio pluggers and social media manipulation.
d] An accountant, lawyer and an admin office.

For most people, this means a contract with a major player and I think this is what Eddie is saying, but as we've already established, for most people it's not an available option.

If, on the other hand, you're talking about a few CDs to sell at gigs, do-it-yourself is your only option. Just don't expect to become rich and famous.
