You could start by showing off your own recordings and start a reputation. After my equipment, and experience with compression, mic placement, and other studio tricks (Mixing Engineers Handbook!) got better, the demos were sounding better! I started out at $100 a song. That way it makes it affordable to anyone, and if the artist likes your work, they'll come back! And you've got an ALBUM to produce! You have to earn a reputation with good sounding stuff! You'll be suprized, after having potential clients hear one good production, they start getting in line for you! One thing I have learned is never give out anything until your 100% happy with your master! Assuming your not sending a mix off for master. The band will beg you every day for a copy! Let them hear it on your monitors, but don't burn 'em nothin! I always throw the shitty CD mixes away, after I have taken notes! Once someone hears the shitty version, it's over. They burn it off for friends and everyone is judging your unfinished work. Fuck that! Play it in the car, ghetto blaster, home system, and get it sounding good on everything, then give the band their copy!
