| I have done all sorts of deals, but things are way more complicated than they used to be and I do not really do per song rates any more. I usually charge a day or a week rate.
I do not like to punish the guys that did a great job of producing/engineer. If a band has tracked a record where the performances are great, they are recorded and edit well and they actually made good decisions about which tracks they wanted to use (low track count) I might be able to bang out 3 or 4 mixes a day without compromise . There are other records that come in that are badly recorded, badly edited and an insanely high track counts because they just threw a million sounds into the daw for me to sort out and decide what to use. With some of those records, at the end of the first day we are still trying to sort through the tracks and fix bad edits, etc. |
