Paying for songs

[x-squizet]

How much do yall think I should charge for mixing and mastering songs once I get real good. I was thinking around 50-150 dollars a song but I am not for shure or should I just make the beat for them and let them worry about the vocals and the mixing and mastering.

hmm, thats kind of a tough call, i mean different songs will be harder to mix than others. i mean if your producing the beats then most likely they wont be able to mix it themselves. i would say th best thing to do would to think about your time invested. maybe you should do it by an hourly wage. i mean you dont wanna charge somebody something ridiculous, but i know from experience that mixing and mastering a track is one of the tougest things to do, and can take plenty of hours....

either way, good luck...

Id say it depends on your experience. Being "real good" is a pretty subjective term. There are people that mix/master albums all day everyday, etc for years and years... if your making beats, get in the studio with those guys. Id honestly just track everything out in pro-tools and have them worry about mixing and mastering. The label im in house for has me do it this way. Even if I remotely knew where to begin with mixing/mastering or had the equipment thats all time you could have spent making another hot beat.
