This has been my experience as well. It's the "wanna-be's" and the "think-they already-are's" that are the problem.

Also, I've had better luck charging at least something, even on quick short stuff I wanted to be involved in gratis. It sets up a whole different/better attitude among artists/bands, even if they're paying peanuts. It's the freebies that kill...

Lastly, on Gustav's point..
I could make a whole thread about "Christian" bands, artists and labels and their in-studio and on the road lifestyles, obscenity, shenanigans and non-payment. In my experience, these have traditionally been my worst clients. I don't want to open a can of worms about anyone's religion, and surely not all CCM artists are like this, but what gives?!

It's called perspective. Everyone has one, but only a chosen few have one that gels with the vision of the production and at the same time can realize it to take it to the next level. -thethrillfactor
