Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

495.00 for 10 hours?!?!?!?!

That is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

I know someone else that does excellent work for much father less and he certainly could get away with charging an arm and a leg but he doesn't.

Is this guy paying you to advertise him HH?

[Der Nister]

This should help others understand.....

My expierience of going in to record or mix in many comercial studios is that most are set up as a "pre-digital / computer-based" recording environment. I've done many a session where the gigantic mega-buck mixing console is used solely as an incredibly expensive stand for a Pro Tools control surface with stand alone mic pre-amps being favoured over the consoles' sound. The racks and racks of high end outboard equipment are for the most part cut out of the equation using plug-in based effects and signal proccessing instead, and all the mixing of tracks takes place in the computer domain without ever passing through a conventional mixing console. Clients going into that environment are faced with paying high end prices for a whole heap of expensive gear that they will never use.

Did everyone read that last part I have underlined? It's very important.

$55 an hour?

Not affordable at all If I were to record, I get a discount from my buddy Nate who has a recording studio.

Of course...I have no talent *blushes*

With recording, you get what you pay for.

If you're getting a "discount rate" you are getting a "discount recording"

***edit***

If you arn't getting at least a 24 track digital multi-track recording with Hardware processing, ie compressors, effects, EQ it's not a professional job.

Agreed... and I think that applies to most things. I also think people are getting dangerously used to expecting quality good/services for squat. Guess why all our manufacturing is headed out of country? Sorry for the thread jack.

I don't mean this in an insulting way, but... $75 for mixing an entire album is wicked cheap. you're talking at least 80-100 hours worth of work to mix an adverage album correctly.

[Tryp]

Yes i know it is cheap. However, I'm not an underground artist/producr for the money.

And I always like to help others get in the music business.

Not insulted at all.

If you prefer to pay an outrages price because you think it will give you better results then by all means, shell out the big bucks.

The reality of it is you don't have to spend big money to get great results. To each his own I guess.

I paid far less then $500.00 a day to have Jules from KMFDM produce my music and the results are phenominal but don't take my word for it.

I went to Tempermill studios....they record Anita Baker and have recorded Kid Rock.....they charge $65 an hour and they use mostly software compressors now even though they have hardware.

[Tryp]

Tempermill is okay
