Really? I find it quite hard to believe to be honest.bip wrote:a question that i have since a long time:
how much copies must be sold in order to pay the expenses?
i know most labels press 1000 copies, when they are all sold, is it enough?
....ok this was 2 questions...

I'd find it hard to believe as well - 500 copies is good. Having said that about vinyl,I would also doubt many labels are selling 1,000 legal downloads - but I could be totally wrong.patrick bateman wrote:Really?

by buying you mean paying the artist to do a track or a remix for your label? do you know what the numbers are, generally (small to big)?patrick bateman wrote:hehe, do you think you'll get the exact numbers from the labels?
My guess is that small labels sell between 500-1000 per release. This would often be new labels, and labels not buying big stars to release for them.
something like that....
