How much does it cost a record company to make one compact disk for sale?

Answer 1

Fact: once the intellectual property(the artists recording)is 1.recorded 2.mixed 3.mastered and 4. A.S.C.A.P. copy-writed: licensed for distribution with a bar code each of these steps in production can be as low as $1,000 us dollars or 700-1K euro ; the production value can run as low as a dollar per unit for large press releases with minimal color and simple packaging: extemporanious art and lyric panels to invest in. though an indie label when going for it's first pressing may be paying for limited(to how many we can sell) edition releases with nice multi-coloured full lyric photo and art credit insert album booklets and this can run us up to $2 per disk- Jame Wilkinson of Goldirock records

am very sure tha it cost alot of money Iwould say like 100 grand!
