Then you would just pay the one "master" rate and be done with it. I don't know the history of it all, but I am assuming that the demo rate arose out of the "pitch" mentality in nashville and the need to make it cheaper than master recording rates. Making it cheaper made it easier to make decent money by adding volume (of job opportunities) to the equation.
