I'm gonna tell people 10 dollars a song + a 10 dollar a day base fee.
+ an additional 20 dollars a day if they want to use my instruments/amps. |

dont charge em at all man...
let the make the music for free nahh, dont mind me, i'm stoned and that was the hippy answer 30 an hour sounds good, aim high and if anyone says "fuckin hell man, thats expensive" take it a fiver an hour lower in price and they'll think you're a great lad.

30 dollars an hour is way too much. I have a 4 track and some other equipment and I'm a decent engineer (compared to my friend, who will compress the hell out of stuff and the says "this is the best I can get it")

That sounds reasonable. I always tell people who do this type of thing to charge very little to begin with so that young bands all get involved and then when you're fairly known and have the freedom to, you charge what is required. They rarely listen and go ahead and charge shit prices and get very little success in what they're doing.

Hi, Spectral, so I hear you're chargin' $10 per song and $10 base for the space?
Cool man, our album is only going to be one long song, here's a twenty. We'll show up at midnight tonight and be out of here within twenty-four hours. How are you going to know how many songs they are recording? Do you have, like, a producer's booth in your basement or were you just planning to monitor them constantly...how exactly? This is why your "base fee" is a good idea. I would also just charge by the hour, not the song. |

For some reason, I can't imagine your basement is a place many people would enter voluntarily, much less pay for.

you guys are nice.
I was gonna say like $10 for the first hour then $5 for every hour after that. (this counts for one day, do the same thing for however many days it takes) |

I admire you chaps for allowing Julian's future customers to be frugal when recording. Steve Albini would be proud.

since you mention albini: http://www.electrical.com/booking.php ^^ julian, you need to charge A LOT LESS than this. 10% maybe? 20%? no idea. but the way his rates are structured makes a lot of sense. |

The song thing will have a time limit of about 5 minutes. A 10 minute song will cost 20 dollars. I already though about that. I'm engineering for each band that steps in my basement. I'm not gonna let them touch my stuff. When I can afford a big nice mixer and a reel to reel I'll charge more. My basement isn't so scary Truncated. No sex toys or anything. My rec room/ guitar room, bathroom, and laundry room are all down here. Plus the furnace room, a large hall (which I pack full of people during parties, a tool room, and a room with nothing in it are all down there. |

That's not what I heard? I heard they used your basement for a scene in Pulp Fiction? Didn't even need props or extras, I heard.
