    Make sure you are charging at least $35/hr MINIMUM. Anything less will not align with the credibility you are needing to draw the level of clientele you will need to continue growing professionally. If you don’t feel you can charge that yet you need to very quickly figure out what skills you are lacking and get them where you need them to be ASAP!
    I charge $100/hr for anything post production/video related. $85/hr for anything recording/mixing related and $75/hr teaching music and audio technology lessons. Most of my “students” are career professionals working in video and film and are wanting to understand audio better. Wedding videographers are a big market of people needing to improve their audio skills. They are also very grateful to know a sound engineer, who can work magic on horrible, sounding audio, which happens more frequently than not during wedding ceremonies and receptions. Teaching them how to take care of their own audio puts money in your pocket and build your clientele base for those times when they need your help again and again.

    I charge $80hr with a minimum of 22hrs a week on the books. Just a quick key from me to you. 1- location with unsaturated market. 2- good work space/equipment. 3- templates for EVERY genre with a commercial familiar sound texture.

    Stop limiting yourself to mixing rappers and singers. Find other industries that need audio editing/mixing.

    The value of an engineer was what he/she knew , what he had figured out by experience and or experimentation. The sound that can be produce that is not produce by someone else. Now. Everyone that knows anything is posting it for views. So the career is done. If everyone knows everything there is no value. The pay has gone down to 10% what it use to be.
