I've been asked to record an album.
I was notified by the person who will be producing it as well as engineering it, etc.
This isn't some fancy major label production, it's a very independent kind of thing.
It's 8 songs (I know.. kind of a short LP but too long to call it an EP).
I'm to give complete creative output on what should go on the record or not. basically, I am being given the responsibility of how the guitars will sound, and what they will play. The client has the songs written, but wants the guitar parts re-imagined. Same chord progressions, but more thought out parts.
As the title of the thread states... how much should I charge? The client and his manager are serious about this, the day that I met them his manager spoke about compensation and said he believes in fair pay.
The person who will be in charge of the recording is charging him $300 for the first song, and $250 for every song after that. I believe that price is for the ENTIRE production of said song, from start to master. We aren't professionals in the sense that we don't have tons of gear.. but I want to get my fair share, you know?
