I know it verys greatly, so lets say this studio is the main studio people go to when they need a session. what are teh hours usually and what is the paying rate usually,

if thats still to broad, could you let me kow what people you kwo make in studios and describe about the size and situation behind there studio, (big, small, lots of buisness, middle of nowere)
 
Are you asking how much studios charge or how much employees make? Most smaller studios are run by the owners and maybe they have a low paid engineer and a couple interns. Most big studios have a few low paid engineers and a lot of interns.

If you can make $50k+/year as an engineer you are doing pretty good and probably have about 10+ years of experience. Most probably make around $20-35k/year.

Most of the work would be hourly and you might get $10-25/hour depending on experience. You also get a lot of time with no work at all.
 
Producers? Sure they can make more but it's not like you open up the want ads and get a job as a producer. To make a name for yourself as a producer you have to go out put together some productions. That means finding talent, coordinating any studio musicians, figuring out a way to pay for the studio time, etc. Producing is a pretty vague title and it can encompass a lot of things.

Most 'Producers' are just guys who spend their own money to record other bands and hope and pray that one of them makes it. If none of their bands payoff then it's nothing but a financial loss.

If your goal is to make money and support a family then show business is the worst possible career. If you don't mind eating raman noodles and living in your parents garage until your 30 while you wait for a project to pay off then show business is the career for you. It's not always that bad but it's more common than being successful.
 
A big market makes it easier to get lower level jobs and harder to get high level jobs. In a big city like NY or LA you would have much better chance of getting entry level gigs. If you want to start up a production company or something you have a much better chance of standing out in smaller markets that aren't so crowded. It's the 'whole big fish in a little pond' thing.
