I know that this is somewhat an almost unanswerable question for the most part as it is amount of quality gear as well as reputation. But if i can get a rough estimate that would be great!
I've been doing project recordings for about 4-5 years now. I'm about to graduate with my bachelors degree in Recording Arts / Music Producing. I also went to a performing arts high school where i studied piano and guitar.
I have played piano and guitar for ten years. Bass and Drums for about 5 years.
I own 5 electric guitars my best of which is a fender american custom stratocaster. I own one american fender jazz bass. And one ddrum 4 piece kit with paiste cymbals.
After graduation i will have about a 10-12 mic collection all suited for recording drums gutars bass and other acoustic instruments and i also plan to acoustically treat my studio as well as build a drum booth and vocal/guitar booth. I currently Use a presonus firestudio interface with 8 inputs through firewire. AMT 8 Midi Interface. For my synths and midi controllers i use the roland fantom x8, microkorg, Electribes EMX and ESX. I use KRK rokit 8's as my monitors and i am saving up to purchase a pair of Yamaha HS50's and a Universal Audio 6176 pramp and compressor.
So with all this gear and experience with recording/writing/producing songs. What should I charge for someone who just wants to record and master a song? and also what should i charge for someone like a singer who wants me to full on produce and write a song as well as record and master?
Thanks to anyone that replies!
