How do you price your services & do you use a set formula?

Probably the biggest question on your mind is: How much is this going to cost and why?

It's actually a very easy answer. I've spent over 5 years refining my pricing model to offer my clients the biggest "bang for their buck" while simultaneously keeping abreast of my industry's trends. I want to be competitive in my pricing, but the service I provide entails a lot of expensive equipment as well as a custom skill set. Even though my film rates page goes over this in detail, the following brief summary wraps it up nicely:

  1. You contact me using my online free quote request form or directly via the many other methods on my site.
  2. I collect all the necessary information I need to bid on your project (the free quote request form collects most of the important stuff up front).
  3. Within 48 hours you will get a detailed bid on your job with a total price which is good for 30 days.

This end creative price is based on a few important factors:

  • Man hours are formulated based on the length of the project and the project's start and end dates
  • Complexity of the work i.e. genre, size of arrangement, score etc.
  • Licensing and distribution
  • Delivery method of final product i.e. physical, digital, both, special encoding etc.
  • Any discounts you qualify for are reduced from the end creative price (not just the hourly man power factor)
  • That end price is your cap price. I guarantee you will not pay any more than that, but you may pay less (depending on how quickly the project moves along)

For further information, please reference my film rates page to see the packages and licensing options I am currently offering. These rates are available for you to download as a digital PDF. So, you can shop around and compare my services with other composers and producers all day long every day!

I also encourage you to read the following documents. They outline a lot of good information about how musicians and composers, like myself, price our services (Some of them are a little dated, but still provide a good foundation).

Client Portal

With me, you have an all in one long-distance solution to demo, chat, and follow the progress of your audio project. I use a fully automated client portal to track your project's files, revisions, demos, billed time and invoices, as well as stay in touch with you and receive your guidance on the process.
