But here's one approach:

3 weeks at studios $52,500.00

3 weeks with tracking and mixing your album $31,500.00

3 weeks with producing your album $42,000.00

Having master your album $25,000.00

Having to recoup all this and more before making a dime

Not making excuses why your album sounds like a demo PRICELESS!

THIS is awesome.
