Hey,
I know this might not exactly fit in with the analog forum but I really dont post in any other section. Anyways...
I have a friend who has another friend who heard that I have equipment available to do demo recordings. He has a band and wanted to know what I charged for doing a general recording session. I have really only ever produced my bands 4 song ep and a bunch of solo demos for myself. I never charged my band cause it was my project too. I was wondering what you guys think I should charge? Should I quote him a by the hour price or by the song? I know that going by the song can get tricky cause you can get some perfectionist who thinks that they paid you say 200-300 bucks for a song but they want to record for 8-10 hours a day for like a week. Basically taking advantage of the deal. So what should I do? I know i could produce a quality recording but I dont want to scare him off by saying like 100./hour. But i also dont want to undercut myself...
Suggestions?
