Frequently Asked Questions About Making An Indie Album

Indie FAQ

How much does it cost?

Answer: At Playground Recording we don’t believe in putting your project in to a package type deal. We feel that every artist and project is unique and should be treated that way. Most people when offering package deals, tell you what the instrumentation will be. Well not every project needs the same instrumentation. We work within your set budget to create a unique album with the instrumentation that you and the producer feel would add to the songs and the album.

What is the Process?

Answer: After our initial phone call, we will connect you with a producer who will listen to your music and talk with you about your goals and vision for your album. From there the producer will hire studio musicians, engineers and work with us on the schedule of your project. We can then help you connect with Graphic Designers, who can create your album artwork, website and any other marketing tools you may need. If needed we can even connect you with a mastering and duplication company to complete your album project. Our goal is to help you through the process step by step and make this a no hassle experience.
