It depends on what you mean by "pressing copies"--in the US, if you create copies of your recordings in any form that can be sold , you are obliged to pay fees on them. You can generally make test copies that you require during the recording process, masters, and archive copies--in addition, copies that are made for broadcast are generally exempt because the broadcaster pays the lisense fee for use.

It is wise to resolve all the legal, contractual, and use issues related to recording before going ahead because if you have a problem after the fact, it can be messy and expensive to sort out.
