I did a project like that afew years ago, I found that an engineer working for a med size studio, can make $500 a day, nice hey ? I also found out that an average working day for an engineer is 12-14 hours.

A studio engineer can make anywhere from $25 an hour to $250 plus.

i think the average would be around $30-40 USD per hour for an experienced engineer.

unfortunately your average drug dealer makes that in 2-3 hours... which is why you need more than just the ability to mix. Get your business game up, this shit ain't no fairplay, you gotta hustle these people!

I dont know anyone working at Korg that makes that much, maybe the CEO.

The average engineer makes 30-40k a year, in fact I know a very well known engineer that has recorded weezer and ben folds and his salary is only like 25k a year. I do know a few making six figures and up but they are the exception not the rule.
