Our charges average out to about $50/75 per hour. We do not do "bands" per se. Single/trio at the most..no live drums..micing cabs at very low volume..all headphone. .
We specialize in arranging..& sweetin' the tune, they bring to us. You really can down size ,make a profit, by not purchasing new gear you think you need --We budget for a new piece of gear ~ once every 8 years.

No late hours--or loud guitars to keep from bleeding --drums to mic. All drums are performed on a Trap Kat & the Kurzweil keys. No PC/Mac software running. Just a Roland VS 2480 and 30 years of pushing buttons. Most of our clients are 40-65 in age.

. I have seen some pretty amazing gear and rooms~ for less than 1/2 what we demand. We actually sold most of our "higher-end" gear. Our clients don't really keep up on gear^^ they just want a tune recorded. Behringer=Neve..they never really ask. No need to rack a 960L when a Lxp5 will do....
