I'm writing history right now by being the first person in the entire world to comment on this thread.
8000 euros??????? You could record/mix/master an awesome cd for MUCH LESS THAN THAT. I´m pretty sure there are members of this forum that could deliver amazing quality for much less than that. You are asking too much considering you are an unknown band (not one song of yours has even 1000 plays on spotify and you only have 242 subscribers on youtube)
Hi zeronaut, thanks for your message yes it was a big mistake to ask such money for mix and mastering (including recording) this is why we loose credibility, and the project was funded by our firends and poeple that already heard about us or that see us live you have to know also that in our country poeple can't participate due to impossibility to use paypal The project will end in one month and we are improving the pitch each day, and try to correct our mistakes thank you!
i didn't mean to offend or anything. I was just trying to say that you could save a lot of money recording without compromising quality going somewhere else.
Thank you we will see how the campaign will end and after that we'll make the best decision thank you!
I assume 7000 euros are going to the american fist pumper for his speech which leaves the band with an honest 1000 euros budget for the album.
Our campaign will end in few hours ! We need your support ! Support Lelahell http://igg.me/at/lelahell
