[QUOTE="Steve Milner, post: 88139, member: 9"] Re: Charity Events I only do one free gig every year, and it's a recording session for an Elementary school where my former (middle school) band director now teaches. I provide a simple recording rig (laptop + interfaces) and a mic kit etc, along with my time for free. This band director helped me out a lot when I was a kid, and got me on the path to where I am now, so I feel it's a worth while way to pay him back. The past two years however, I have been personally unavailable on the date they picked, and they have hired a local tech that I recommended (at his normal rate) to do the actual recording. The reason they are willing to hire this tech and pay for him, has a lot to do with my submitting a quote each year to the band director, for what my services would have cost. It's for informational purposes only, but it helps him establish the value of the services with his budget committee, so they understand what things cost, should they have to pay for them. My recommended tech's rate is still quite attractive when compared to my rate + my equipment rental along with my time to mix and finish the project after the fact. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
