Overtime will be billed after 10 working hours and between 12a-6a. The lead rate for any work is $30/hr, and the same for additional Engineers, $22/hr General stagehand work. Live event Rental: rates for PA equipment vary Studio: Depending on project, I charge per song for recording and mixing at $100/song Higher quality projects will need additional mic and room rentals that yield a better sound than an entry level package. 20/hr recording and mixing no matter how many songs- $400 Mastering service for 1-6 songs $650 Mastering for 7-14 songs Rates are not flexible, but flat rates are based on project (instrumentation, desired sound, equipment needed, etc.)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to set up a planning meeting or at least email/have a phone call about the job at hand. It is good to discuss expectations and contracts of both of us before jumping into production or the event. We can talk about my rates and about necessary equipment and additional engineers.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
A trade certificate, some college ear training, and real world experience!
