I just scored my first full length project!

That's very true.

For tracking I would charge a daily rate, and for mixing it would be per-song because that's more on your own terms. Even in that regard the band can still stall you by nitpicking the mix, so it may be a good idea to agree to have a close-off date, when you just wrap everything up regardless of whether the bass player still wants +1dB of 80Hz on the bass.
 
fucking sweet.......

I was a bit jealous at first but i just got a call today and scored a 8 song project at 100 a pop also. Only thing that sucks is i lost my recording spot and I'm going to there place to track drums (Basement with no treatment) :Smug: So no good room or anything to track drums. I was thinking of using dfhs and program drums after i track them but i suck at programing and i think would take ages for 8 songs, but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet maybe just run with real drums and do my best!!!

But congrats anyway and thought i would share since were both doing our first full length at the same time:rock: :kickass:

Just a little "basement" note.
That's not allways wrong if you are looking for a big drumsound. Just take a listen when I recorded my band Souldrainer. Listen to the song REBORN in my post footer. The drums were recorded in something like a basement with concrete walls. No reverb what so ever was added in the mix. The album is coming i May.
