FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Some work has to be by the hour. My hourly fee is 25. I can block rate most projects but to [prevent my under or over charging, I need a lot of info about the job. Most always after some basic questions are answered, I will give a high & low cost parameter which will be determined when I have the actual work in front of me.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly learning. It has never stopped. To keep abreast of the technological advances in audio/video you have got to self-educate. I taught audio/video production at Seminole State College for about 6 years and constantly advised my students to learn to self-educate.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
At the age of 18 I was recording with a group signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis. We were at Bell Sound Studios making a record and I realized that I had a passion for musical arrangement. When I left the group in 1971 I also realized that to remain in control of my work I had better become a recording engineer as well.
