Full production multi-song gig with backing? $500-$750 each (US)...depending on the quality and confidence of the producer.
Most backing can be done in 1-2 sessions...This isn't union pay (at least I doubt it is). Average musician rate for me $40-$50 per hour or a set price per song...that is what I pay.
The way I look at gigs like this, if I can make $50 an hour to produce I feel good.
Some gigs I have made $100 or more per hour.
Right now I am making $15,000 for a record (points aside) so breaking it down I make roughly $2-$5 per hour or less! That is my own reality check.
Can't underbid...Can't overbid...both can blow the deal.
Ask what you are comfortable with, you will know pretty quick if you cheated yourself.
