[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 141220, member: 211"] Re: Just how much of a sucker *am* I? The answer isn't an easy one to come up with. The entry level salary for a sound engineer starts around $30K, and can go up to $100K or so for higher end shows. Just a rough estimate, it sounds like you'll have about 80 hours into the project, which equals 2 weeks pay. On the low end, that should be about $1150, being paid directly. As a production company, the charge to the client would be significantly higher. For the gear provided, piecemeal rental rates for bits and pieces would be priced at 5-10% of the cost of the item. If you're doing this at all professionally, EVERY piece of gear that goes out on a rental should be documented and billed for. Everything, down to power strips, cables, etc. Know what goes out, and what comes back. [/QUOTE]
