Ty Ford Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi, I have a good friend, a soundie, who has been asked to put down the boom and sit behind a workstation to post some podcasts or radio programs. He's asked me for some 1-to-1 Pro Tools training here at my studio. What do I charge the company he works for for the sessions? Thanks, Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 $75 an hour with a 4 hour minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 $75 hr min. But Jay, dude, you are a well known cat with a rep as both an engineer and a writer, and that should be worth more. So I say $150 hr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobilemike Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Is he booking you during normal business hours? Then charge whatever studio rate you normally charge for other types of work. If he's booking you on a more flexible, nights and weekends schedule maybe cut a deal but remember that no matter what this is taking up studio time that could be used for other paying projects and you deserve to be compensated accordingly. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Steel Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I had someone (a friend of an acquaintance, etc) ask me to do this for him a couple of times. We approached it like @Mobilemike suggests and charged him our regular studio rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Ford Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yeah, I like the feel of that. Thanks! Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
