Rates

For all sessions booked after January 1, 2008 tracking daily rate is now $300 per day. Any sessions booked for '08 before Jan. 1 will still fall under the old rates.

I charge a daily rate rather than an hourly rate. A "day," in my experience, usually begins in the early afternoon and ends in the hours sometime after midnight, either when we've reached the end of our rope or our ears stop talking to us coherently. There is a time during this block when we take a food break... usually an hour, or more if needed. Sometimes inspiration strikes at the 11th hour (or later!) so there is no set end time.

An hourly rate of $30 per hour is available if you do not need to spend a whole day recording or mixing.

The daily rate includes a two room apartment on the premises with a full bathroom. There are 2 full sized beds and a futon as well as an air mattress. Upon request there is also a futon downstairs in the control room.

Mixing daily rate is $200 per day. I can mix with the musicians present or I can mix to your specs and upload the files onto the Black Dirt site for approval or your suggestions for changes.
