Prices on reamping

[BrandonS]

What is the average acceptable price for reamping at a studio? A local studio wants $40 an hour, and I wanted to see if that was ridiculously overpriced, or normal...

 

[TheStoryteller]

Sounds veeeeeery cheap to me. But I guess it depends on the studio also.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Definitely not overpriced.

 

[BrandonS]

Well that's cool. I just thought it was overpriced because the price to actually book the studio per hour is $50. And the $40 price they gave me was after a student discount..... Thanks for your help guys. I guess this will be a good thing to proceed with then? I just have to figure out how to keep my funds sturdy enough to pay that..... It can be a big price for a jobless college student.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Depends on how long they'll need for the reamping... If they ask for 3 days then there is a problem

Yeah I mean realistically I don't think it should take more than an hour to dial in the tone you want and then 20 minutes per song (5 tracks x 4 minutes). Shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours if you've got a full cd. $200 sounds like the most you'd end up paying, worst case scenario.

I would contact Glenn (Ozznimbus). There are others on here that will do it for free. Check this thread:

No. Maybe if you are using exactly the same amp + tone for every song (which I almost never do). At our studio you would pay $65 an hour. I would not even give an estimate until I opened the sessions-- I don't know how you came up with $200. That's sounds extremely low. I'd quote closer to an hour per song unless the client wants me to rush through it quick and dirty. In that case, why bother?

Sorry for annoying thread hijacking, but I too need some re-amping done. If someone is willing to re-amp 2 guitar tracks for 9 songs ( 2 x 39 min total ) for credit or for relatively low price and can do this within 1 or 2 weeks from now please send me a private message.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

What is a relatively low price? lol

Something a broke student can afford and be still able to buy food and beer and pay rent

Isn't the concept of th *starving* artist that you don't drink beer and eat noodles only (every other day of course!) so you can afford your music (in this case the reamping)?

A little more helpful: check out Shadow Walker's Free Reamping Service. The sounds are great!

...that you don't drink beer

Noooo!!!!

 

[Soundlurker]

I'l be able to reamp your tracks but no sooner than a week from now.


Here's a song I reamped some time ago click here

No. Maybe if you are using exactly the same amp + tone for every song (which I almost never do).

I was definitely making that assumption.

Just make sure your paying money for the engineer and the GUITAR equipment. Fancy pres and rooms don't make a huge difference on high gain tones.

Without me hearing work from this studio, I would say you would be much better off shipping out the DI's so someone like Glenn or someone who's proven they can dial in and mic up a killer tone. Guitar tone is ALL in the engineer.

theres a good studio down here in oklahoma that will do just about everything for $30 an hour.

Spoken like a true engineer. Ever hear of guitarists dave?
