I wasn't sure where to post this - I've got a situation where I own Pro Tools and a small computer, a couple of good mics, and that's it - and I have a good enough ear to mix and edit some simple acoustic situations. So I turned it all into a business, and I've recorded projects for about 12 people or so. In the process, I recorded a guy who took up some time, coupled with my editing/mixing hours, he owed me $700 for his small project. And being a close buddy to me, I felt like that's way too much. I was charging $25/hr for my work. I tried to not take all the money, but it mathematically worked out to that, so I took it.
I don't know why I have a problem with it, but I either lack the confidence to own a business, (although I'm confident of my work) or maybe I over charged him. What do you think?
