Rates...........................
we can work on project rates as well as daily and hourly rates. get in touch to discuss what would make sense for your record.
day rate:$300 (up to 10 hrs, additional time at hourly)
hourly:$40/hr for bands, $50/hr for voiceover
Time starts from scheduled time unless you call to change in advance and includes load-in, getting sounds/setup, and lunch/snack breaks. If there are technical issues of course that time doesn't count...I'll add a little or whatever. 5 days gets you an extra day or something.
All of the above include engineer. Open to working with freelancers, but please call to discuss details.
I will also do project rates, discounts for booking larger amounts of time, and try to work with your budget limitations. Get in touch to discuss!

Jeremy is an awesome recordist, a very patient person, and major consumer of all three varieties of SPARKS (tm).
