I had planned on keeping the rates low because there are guys in town that definately have more experience. While I relalize it's harder to raise the price too much at once down the road, (this is a 15-20 year plan), is this how most of you got things going? |
That sounds like a good plan. Charging a rate not only seperates out a lot of the jokers but also tends to change the method of working (if you charge by the hour, don't charge by the song or project) for both the musicians and the engineer. You will learn to be better and more efficient at what you do which will make you more valuable in the long run.
Best of luck.
