It's just depressing for a movie lover like me to see a film like Joel Schumacher's 1990 Flatliners remade. Why? Can anyone come out with something we haven't seen before or at least from a fresh new POV.
Recording costs in the music business are borne by artists, not record companies. Record companies commonly make loans to artists (all-in advances) for these costs and recoup them from royalties. With the exception of jazz and classical artists, new major label artists can spend between $100,000 and $500,000 to make a record, but recording budgets of one million dollars and more are not uncommon.
Recording studio prices depend mostly upon where you are in the world and how nice or reputable the studio is. In USA, rates can be as low as $40 an hour, or as much as $3,000 per hour.o I've gotten a good idea about the costs, when it comes to booking an hour or two. The average rates I've found for Northern California studios, such as in San Francisco, Palo Alto and San Jose is $80 to $150 an hour. In West Virginia, I've come across a few here and there that are as low as $50 an hour.
