Anything sold I'd personally expect to be reasonably well produced, and preferably well presented (not just a CD-R with hand written label). If you can do covers that'd be good.

And don't forget the tracklisting!

If by "productions" you mean that you wrote your own music, then I would charge just over what it cost me to make the cd in the first place. If you are offering a double cd, then $5-7 is very reasonable--maybe even $10 if people get to listen to you perform live first, so they know what you sound like. As far as a professional appearance, it is nice for presentation, but unless you are going to send it to a label, then I wouldn't worry too much about it, as long as you are happy with how it looks.

If by "productions" you mean that you made a mix cd of tracks that you own, don't own or whatever, then you can't legally sell it. You need the permission of every artist on the cd inorder to do that, which means getting permission from the labels, which will of course want royalties and hence won't let you use their tracks because there is a slim chance of all of this happening. If you do choose to sell your dj mixes, then do it under the table and unadvertised. When I spin out live, I give away all of the demos that I bring. If nothing else, people will like you because they got free stuff! Plus it spreads your name around!

yeah
bad idea to charge for it, since its illegal, and you can spread it around for free as flesch said, which is the whole point - get your music to the masses

give it out for free because it spreads your name fast but don't do a double cd i'd give away your mix first and then a couple of weeks later if people like it give them the "productions" cd unless of course they both have the same songs...

by 'productions' i mean that i made em...

1 cd with songs that i made... 10 tracks... 78:34 ... =oP
1 mixed cd (hard trance) 12 songs... 79:45 =oP

guess that brings up another question... could i get sued for selling the mixed cd with my cd... the one i made... produced... whatever... =oP

and yeah... i'm going down to butt-fuck-egypt to spin at a barn party... and that's where i was gonna sell em... but if i can get sued... i'll just hand em out... and save all my cd labels n shit for the party after that where i could sell my own stuff... but blah... =oP

thanx fer the feedback n shit
