Recording an amazing demo is a great way to get noticed by a record label, but your fans will also love it. Give them some of those songs they love hearing you play live, plus some new ones they haven't heard yet.  Studio costs can vary, anywhere from $15 to $200 dollars an hour for the initial recording. In general, it costs more to have the recordings mastered. Because of the high cost, limit your demo to one or two of your best songs. Plan how you'll record them quickly and effectively ahead of time. Different recording engineers or producers will organize a recording session differently. Make sure you've got your end of the deal —the song— down as much as possible. If you know your material inside and out, you won't need multiple takes to get it right.  Research the process and facilities before booking time anywhere. Know whether your band members are more comfortable recording separately or together as a whole band. How much direction do you want from your engineer? Don't record on equipment you're unfamiliar with. Twiddling about with fancy amps and guitar pedals can't afford is tempting, but it will eat up your studio time. You also don't want your demo to have sounds you can't reproduce on your own. Don't include any covers on a demo, or anything significantly different from the majority of your material. Think of your demo as your band's resume. Which of your songs best represents your music? What songs do your fans like best? The demo session isn't the time to indulge the brand new song you haven't worked out yet or try to start free-styling on a new beat. Record what already works. With a decent laptop and some cheap mics, you can make a professional sounding recording and have it up on the Internet in an afternoon. Increasingly, bands are recording themselves to avoid expensive studio costs. Save your money for other things, like touring and buying better equipment.  If you own a recent Mac, it likely came with GarageBand recording software pre-loaded on it. If not, you can purchase it in the Apple app store at low cost. Apple also offers Logic Pro X, which has more professional features but costs a lot more.  Audacity is a free, open-source recording software that works on computers running Windows, Mac OS, and GNU/Linux.  Explore cheap or free recording options in the scene. Let your friends open for you on your next tour if they'll record you for free on their equipment. Ask around and see if any other bands have gotten deals. Musicians are usually willing to share information if you're willing to share back. Today's technology lets you bring your music to a wide audience easily and cheaply. You should take advantage of it! Share videos and recordings of your music on YouTube and Sound Cloud for free. The process of signing up for an account is simple, and you can reach a large audience.  You can apply directly to iTunes to get them to carry your music, but they review all material before making decisions. You might use a third party "aggregator" that will help you put your best face forward for a fee.  Spotify will not work directly with artists. Have your label, distributor, or an aggregator contact them about carrying your music.  Don't worry about making a profit yet — focus on increasing your popularity. The industry is moving away from the album model toward one based on Internet popularity. If you get a million views on YouTube, you'll be hearing from a label.
