Note about hourly rates:
Comparing hourly rates and nothing else is like comparing apples and oranges. Speed and quality of work, experience, quality of equipment, etc, are huge factors. You can always find someone who charges half my hourly rate, but if it takes them 3 times as long to get the job done on account of less experience or non-professional equipment, in the end you still paid substantially more for the same or lesser product. As you shop around for a studio, be sure to ask these questions as well as make sure they understand your project!

I will do my best to make any budget workable, so before you figure you can't afford my rates, let's talk about your project — you might find that overall I'm less expensive than most of my competition!

RATES (Beginning June 1, 2010):
My rates have remained the same from 2006 through the second half of 2010. I have become more efficient, and have clients actually telling me that I'm TOO cheap now! So beginning June 1, my rates will be as follows:

Weekdays 10AM-6PM $125/hour

Weekdays 6PM-Midnight $135/hour

Weekends $150/hour

Remote Recording $150/hour port-to-port, post/mixing charged at above rates

Weekday sessions beginning before noon will remain at $125/hr after 6PM.

CALENDAR:

I have taken my online calendar down. I recently changed the way I schedule clients, being that most of my clients live thousands of miles away. I am now only officially scheduling actual dates with local clients (or those who travel to California to work with me), and all others are being done on a "deadline" basis. Easier and more efficient for everyone involved! Email or call me regarding availability.
