I like to charge $200 per day or part thereof. A client can record as many songs as they want in a day and then set aside 2 to 3 days for mixing (depending on how complex the recording is). I can then upsell mastering services Etc. I only record acoustic singer songwriter/piano player type music. This means someone who has their songs together could easily produce an entire album for $1000. It's good for them and it's good for me :)
I think it is a good point that charging too little or too much will give you problems. But the methods are basically the same methods at different price points. It is just a matter of finding your balance in the supply-demand reality. Low price will attract more interest (and probably more customers with lower quality) and vice versa. And the correct rate will be different for everyone depending on how good you are and what market you are working in (big city vs small town, musical genres, working with individuals or bands, only mixing or the whole package recording/mixing/mastering etc) I would like to hear your thoughts of the two different methods - to charge per song or per hour. There you have more of a dilemma. Thanks for a good video.
Hi, I like your concept of 3rd method. Can you please clarify following ? - $200 per song is for Recording, mixing and mastering OR just mixing and mastering ? Thanks for the video.
Ok, it's just math... But then you say you rather charge 200 per song, 5 songs a month, which is about a song a week.. Uhm, no.... Something is wrong with your math there.

Joe Towers $867 per month is close enough to round for the purposes of this video. I’d hope you could see the bigger picture here...
@@6FigureCreative I do like your podcast and enjoyed the last one on the no list. Maybe I'm too picky of certain details.
