Hmm... I find the opposite to be true. What happens when you work hourly, and your client suddenly chooses to only work a couple hours? I hope you have a three or four hour minimum so that you're not completely shafted when you planned to work the entire day, but your client gets a call from an angry lover, so the session abruptly ends.
Hourly rates (with an x-hour minimum) can make sense if you don't work this gig full-time, or if the standard for the type of job you're doing is hourly. Maybe that's the case for editing. Sometimes it's the case for engineering, and I think it's always the case for assistant engineering.
But in my world, which is producing and mixing, per project is the only way to fly, whether the project requires a half day or an entire month to complete.
