If you WANT to do it, it looks like nothing is stopping you.

Google "remote recording portland" or something like that to see what others are doing. But of course, if you need to Google, I suggest you might need to spend more time on-the-whole getting an idea of what the scene is like. If you can't already name bands that are interested in working with you, then don't expect that offering "on site recording" is suddenly going to multiply your gigs. Instead, offering on-site recording as a corollary to what you already do may open one or two more doors. And don't you want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?

My favote remote recordist in the NW: Bicycle Recordings

And don't forget to check out the stickies on this forum regarding some of the essentials/fundamentals for remote recording.

Cheerio.

Re: compensation - There are a number of threads on the topic, but in general, just ask yourself what your market is like and what you think you're worth. And if you already have studio day rates, that can help guide you.
