- Good idea about contacting universities. I found many websites of universities with courses for sound engineers, but no contact information when it comes to recording sessions, rental of their facilities, but I'll look into that.
- Given the costs associated with recording (which I've been quoted for 4000 to 10.000) I'd do a full CD. Renting the place, getting a piano in there if they don't have it, piano tuning fee, recording gear, recording session fee, doing so for 2-3 days just for a demo is too expensive.
- I heard that very often artists "sell" their recording to a label, just for the prestige/promotion factor. I suppose labels would want a finished product, so they can just prepare the artcover and print?
- I have considered an agent, but it seems that agents only want artists well established and with a concert every day of the month; basically, they only take you when you don't actually need them. What type of agent should I look for, and what are they "expected" to do for my career?
