FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is based on a per song rate dependent on what services or combination of services I am hired for. For example, for just mixing I have a flat fee mixing rate, but If I also am hired to record that song AND mix it, I add my tracking fee to that mixing rate. (Keep in mind all other expenses such as studio time are covered by the band/artist)
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I participate in various forums, gatherings, seminars, master classes with other people in the industry and I am always pushing myself to learn how to be better at my job through these activities and others.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into producing/engineering etc because of my love for playing and listening to music. The only reason I got my first recorder is to record myself practicing trumpet so I could better critique myself. But before long I got hooked on the ability to take many sounds, process them in many different ways and blend them all together into something that was pleasing and exciting to listen too.
