Actually, when I think about the typical costs associated with making music, that is actually on the low end/indie budget side still. I've seen guidelines estimating that on a SHOESTRING/Indie budget, expect to pay about $1000 per song (and that's if you're doing a whole album, where you can typically get a better deal per song as a result).
