Dramatica 13,690 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I know it's a silly question, but bare with me through this rough time. Just to satisfy my personal knowledge, I'm trying to figure out how much a song like 'Applause' costs to make (songwriting, editing, producing, NO promo nothing after-production). Let's say it's DJWS who wrote it entirely, and produced it. How much would that cost for example? I want all the fake insiders in this thread right now, all those whose moms' aunts' grandma's gardner work at Interscope. I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

Ethan 2,051 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'd say a couple of thousand of dollars. The equipment they use is no garage band. And the mastering process. And the studio equipment. And professional software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermit 15,807 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 From a view of a producer, it takes a lot of money to make a good quality track, especially for one of the biggest names in pop music. “For me, insanity is super sanity.

Hurem 17,800 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm actually really interested in all of that. They said Rih's album costs like a few million dollars to make and I don't really understand where all the money goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what intrigues me, like obviously they're not talking about promotion, so it does cost 1 million dollar to make a steady song I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

And considering Applause has 7 writers and 3 producers (not including Gaga) that thing must have cost more than an island But I'm only a man and I do what I can.
