Day 16 of 31 Single Series: Did you know that “Breeze – Straight” cost this much to make?

— Unit Production Cost —

At Sykeside Records, we believe that it is best to give Breeze’s audience a better understanding of not only how the music they listen to is made for free through written instructions or they can pay to see the process by video instructions but the tools that Breeze uses to create (song name).

This is a step towards giving the audience a deeper understanding of the underlying investment not only of the pursuit it takes to learn the necessary skills to create not only the musical elements that makeup a record but the knowledge of the how to use or when to use of those tools that creates a complete song alongside their prices, the price of the tools with knowledge of the marketing campaign single series around (Song Name), and the price of the labor it takes Breeze to get the job done.

We begin the process of explaining the cost to hire each role then move towards the steps of explaining each tool used in each step including the amount of tools used for the production of the song from the beginning to the top and go into the step of the cost of the marketing alongside each tool used to create events around the song.

Each step in the process will be broken down into sections that will start with the musical elements of the song such as the equipment alongside the digital work station with all the tools used from different companies to that it took to create (Song Name) with their prices and then all the marketing tools that created the videos such as the blog post, camera, landing pages, used that serves as a marketing tool for the song in order to bring awareness of (song name) alongside all the other products that is offered.

We hope that you enjoy the transparency!
