1. Set up a profile on sellaband.com with demo song material with the target to raise funds about 30.000 $ from your fans.
Think of a reference of what the music should sound like in the end. Follow our financial plan to make your project become true (download pdf).
2. After a successful funding you send us the demo material from your songs (quality doesn’t matter as long as the melody is hearable) and sheets with chords rough arrangement and lyrics. Send us some mp3’s from music you would like your CD to sound as with a few notes.
3. Send us 50% of the total fee for producing the album (3.750 € / about 5.625 $ at present) or single (450 € / about 675 $) in advance and sign a producing contract (download pdf) with us.
4. We start producing the backing tracks for you to sing on. After the first track is finished we will send it to you for some feedback.
At the same time you can set up a photo session for a CD cover already.
5. After we finished recording all the backing tracks you come to our studio to record your vocal tracks including backing tracks. (optional: if the journey to our studio in Amsterdam is to far or too expensive you can also search for a studio nearby your home to record your voice and then send us all tracks on CD or in high quality by internet).
6. Buy off the other 50% for the production of the CD so it is yours. We make a final mix and master the tracks ready to be pressed on a CD.
7. You will receive a master CD from us by post (or you can also pick it up).
