He also does something that rubs me wrong. Maybe the idea is ok, but he charges $300 per mix, stating that he does the mixes himself. And I'm friends with the guy he sends them to to be mixed for $120 a track.

I have stayed professional and kept my mouth out of it, but it really pisses me off.

Ha... There was a local hip hop "studio" doing the same thing with me here in town.

I kept my mouth shut (work is work) until they started targeting some of my clients on MySpace (not that I'm afraid of losing any business to those jokers) and also posting pictures of our studio on their website as if it was theirs.
