SMOKE THE WORLD HQ 2015
_________________________________
recording/mixing/engineering rates:
1hr • $40
2hrs • $80
3 hrs • $100
***$20 p/h after the first three hours. (Example) 4hrs = $120 • 5hrs = $140 etc.
***Rates will remain at $20p/h for 7 days after the initial 3hr session, and every session booked within a week of the previous. This is to favor artists who work the most, whether writing or recording a project/album/mixtape.
(2hr minimum at discounted rate)
If the artist cancels a session, or does not return within the 7 day period for any reason, rates start over at $40 p/h.
Prepaid limit of 12 hours. ($280)
All prepaid hours MUST BE USED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER PAYMENT
Payment to be made at the beginning of each session. _________________________________
Session start/end time:
The session starts & ends at the agreed time that it was booked. Artist is responsible for payment of total time booked.
(Example) session booked from 6-9, artist arrives at 7, payment due for 6-9 block, & STWHQ is not obligated to exceed the booked time. This is to protect the time & creative space of all artists working at STWHQ.
All studio work is done within the booked time. The artist understands that he/she will pay no less than $20 for any additional work (emailing files, radio edits, song touch ups etc.)
Please give 24 hours notice when canceling a session. The "no call no show" artist is ineligible for the above discounts, & required to pre pay for future sessions 24 hours in advance, or pre pay using pay pal, at $40p/h
Pay pal email is [email protected]
_________________________________
Entourage policy
For best results please only bring people who are involved in the creative process. The artist is allowed + 2.
Over + 2 is an extra $10 per person.
I would like to encourage all artists to bring as few extra people as possible. In my experience, those who are not involved in the creative process can become a distraction for the artist and the engineer.
_______________________________
My guarantee:
The above is what I need from the artist to guarantee my best as an audio engineer. I will be punctual, I will keep your sessions private, I will protect your files, I will not discuss your work with anyone.
If there are technical difficulties you will not be charged for the time it takes to fix the problem, & that time will either be added to the end of the session, or added to your next session.
At the end of each session, your files will be either emailed to you, copied on a cd, or placed on your personal storage device.
STWHQ does not own the master recordings for any recordings that are NOT a Smoke The World original production. (Terms for Smoke The World original productions are established separately)
