How much should be charged for a recording session?

In the future after I master the art of home recording, (well at least as far as garageband will take me) I'd like to make alittle money recording artists around the area that don't have access or the know how to record themselves. I'm talking about simple stuff like recording a guy and his guitar, and maybe a bass or keyboard tops. How much would you guys suggest charging for this service?

It's not that no one wants to, it's just that there's no way to answer the question. You should probably ask your potential clients what they are willing to pay, or call up a studio in your area and see how much they charge. It really depends on your competition. It's just like any other business. It's your customers that will decide if your product provides a good value. Given that more and more people are getting Garageband and the price of good quality interfaces is going down, it will be your expertise that people will be paying for. It's hard to tell what your level of expertise will be at some point in the future.

  • How much should I partition for Time Machine/Backup?

    Hi all,
    I upgraded my PB G4 HD to a 160GB recently and have just purchased a 1TB External HD. How much should I partition in the external to be used for Time Machine backup purposes of my internal HD? Will the same size suffice, or should I allocate more?
    Also, I was thinking of formatting the drive so that it's both Windows and OS X friendly, but that means formatting it to MS-DOS something (I was just reading about it in another thread), will that cause any issues for the partition for Time Machine that I created? Thanks.

    That's not practical. If you want to use the hard drive on a Windows machin while still being useful for Time Machine you should use MacDrive.

    I would make the partition at least twice the size of the internal drive. Preferably, you would want 50 GB for a Leopard install that includes just the base operating system so you can boot off the 50 GB to recover your Time Machine data if your Leopard installer disc ever becomes unusable.
    Also since you have a Powerbook, your 1 TB hard drive should be Firewire. USB will not boot Powerbooks. If it is USB only, you can remove the external hard drive case and replace it with one compatible with the drive inside that case from http://www.macsales.com/ that has Firewire.

  • Selling iPhone - How much should I charge?

    I was at a company function today and someone came up to me and wanted to buy my iPhone. I have the 1st generation 8GB phone, which is in fine condition. When I research how much I should charged, I just saw a lot of unlocked phones. Mine is not unlocked. It is regular, 8GB from the Apple store and I have AT&T service.
    I don't want to over charge my colleague, but I would like to get as much as I can for it so that I can get a new iPhone. (Whole story is that this person from work wants a 3G, and will buy mine to give to her husband, that way they both have one, but he doesn't need the 3G version).
    Anyone have a recommendation for how much I should charge? Can I expect $199 or more, or does that seem a bit unreasonable?
    Thanks for your perpsective.

    Well, you should be able to charge more considering:
    1) iPhone 3G is not yet available really...
    2) They may not want an iPhone 3G because they dont want to sign a new activation with AT&T. With the old iPhone, they can just pop in their old sim card from their phone and they are good to go...
    3) People may want an unlocked phone (which cannot happen to 3G iPhones because you must sign a new contract to purchase one...
    I would say that even though the newer models are $200, older models are more valuble to people not in the market to terminate or extend their phone providers contracts... I'd say between $300 and $500 at this point depending on if the phone is in good condition and/or unlocked.

  • HT3302 How much will be charged for replacing a cracked screen for iPhone 5? How long it will take for repair?

    Hi Folks,
    I am a visitor and had my iPhone 5 cracked the front screen today, I just want to know how long it will take for repair if I send to Apple USA, and the charge for the replacement of the cracked screen.
    Thanks for your advice in advance, I am currently in LA and will put into LA Apple Store asap.

    Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.
    If the device was not purchased in the US, an Apple store in the US will not touch it.

  • How much should I charge?

    Hi guys!
    I was hoping I could have your advice on something. I am working on a contract for my own design company. I usually design two mockups in Photoshop for a client. I was thinking of charging $150 for two mockups which also includes interior pages. What do you think of that? Thanks

    Sometimes clients view project rates as a way to keep adding modifications at no extra cost,
    What Rob said.
    This is often termed "scope creep" and can be a big reason for a relationship breaking down.
    It must be strictly controlled by you since no-one else will. If not, a) you end up doing work for nothing - often many hours on what seemed at first like a "small" new feature, 2) resentment sets in when you find yourself unable to charge for it without damaging the relationship.

  • How much am I charged for data overage?

    I know I had this information when I changed my plan, but now I can't find it.  The only thing I can find here on-line says that I get charged $15/500MB over.  Is that correct?  So if I go over by 2MB, I'll get charged the same as if I go over 500?

    Depends on which data plan you have, i.e.,
    for plans 1 GB and above, data overage is $15 per 1 GB over
    for the 500 MB plan, data overage is $15 per 500 MB over

  • Selling my G3 B&W, how much should i advertise it for?

    I am going to sell my G3 B&W computer and buy myself a nice new apple laptop but I'm not sure how much to advertise it for in my papers, not ebay. I don't have anything against ebay but i won't get as much for it.
    This is the specification of it: -
    G3 400Mhz
    512MB RAM
    2 x 10GB SCSI and 1 x 20GB SCSI HDD's
    DVD±RW drive
    17" monitor, keyboard and mouse.
    OS X panther 10.3.9 (all updates installed) complete with all discs and manuals.
    So how much do you all think i should sell it for? thanks

    You would get more if you parted it out.
    The G3 tower $50-75 if its a Rev2
    The DVDr $30 if it was/is a high end sought after model
    Panther maybe $25
    The monitor in some markets have to be given away so you'd be lucky to get $25
    No way that is worth $200
    I don't know why people keep quoting those sites as a realistic price guide. The people who post it wouldn't pay the amounts listed there for those units. At best its what you'd get as a tax write-off if the computers were donated but those listed prices are not the going market rates in the U.S.
