okay sorry.patrick bateman wrote:850 sold mp3's
let's say half at the high price
and half at the cheaper price
425 @ 2 euro = 850 euro
425 @ 1.5 euro = 637 euro
Total = 1.487 (plus wav sales)
after Beatport cut label has around 950 euro
and then it's probably a 50/50 split with the artist, so around 425 euro which is around 375 British silver coins.
So 170 sounds a bit low for 850 sold mp3's
The label might have a mastering expense of course, and maybe some PR/promo expenses also and if there was a remix on the release also, then a remix fee.
