A beginner's guide to surviving a career in Pro Audio

[Glenn Fricker]

Thanks to everyone who watched the last one... it keeps me going. And now, a little friendly advice to those of you just starting out

 

[The-Zeronaut]

Please never stop making this videos.

 

[schwinginbatman]

Definitely your most tame. But still real good.

 

[slo77y]

awesome, although im not really totally there yet, i recognized a lot of what you said

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Yeah, it wasn't as raunchy... I'll have to work on that

 

[AntonioPetrole]

This was perfect Glenn, all of your videos have been. Keep on keeping on. I think some of the crass things you say in the videos are important. Those things can emphasize how frustrating things are working with certain bands

 

[FarBeyondMetal]

Wasn't so harsh, but I felt it was more relevant to me than past videos so I guess that's a good thing lest I get butthurt

Nice! Got me to laugh out loud when the "and bassplayers" and handjob-street-scene came on. I also liked the slightly toned down demeanor. Makes it less rant-y and more credible.

 

[MKS]

I've personally made every single mistake that was mentioned. Great video.

Dig it!
I have done the flat rate thing a bit, but nowadays I charge a MINIMUM day rate plus additional costs. It's really just an expensive hobby, but setting prices at a point where I feel like doing this is worth my time has kept clients I don't want to work with out of here. If there's a band I really want to work with, I'll totally cut them a deal.

I'm actually working on a flat rate project now, but it's one dude doing everything and I REALLY dig it, so it's worth it to me even though I'm not exactly profiting at this point...

and handjob-street-scene came on.

Well, I've gotta be able to laugh at myself from time to time.
