In our marketplace if you can sell 3k records at 6.00 wholesale. Figuring 10k for your time plus 4k for pressing and 4 k for rudimantary promo.....you are even, and have in effect paid yourself for doing the record.

Now, If you can have a piece of the publishing as well....
The main thing that is putting me off doing this is the marketing/press/promotion thang. I just don't have the resources to deal with this stuff AND be studio owner/producer/engineer.

I would think you will need to be dealing with a number of artists at the same time to make it work.

A lot of young & local bands will just plain refuse to stump up for a lawyer to deal with contract issues too, methinks.
