Make sure you are charging at least $35/hr MINIMUM. Anything less will not align with the credibility you are needing to draw the level of clientele you will need to continue growing professionally. If you don’t feel you can charge that yet you need to very quickly figure out what skills you are lacking and get them where you need them to be ASAP! I charge $100/hr for anything post production/video related. $85/hr for anything recording/mixing related and $75/hr teaching music and audio technology lessons. Most of my “students” are career professionals working in video and film and are wanting to understand audio better. Wedding videographers are a big market of people needing to improve their audio skills. They are also very grateful to know a sound engineer, who can work magic on horrible, sounding audio, which happens more frequently than not during wedding ceremonies and receptions. Teaching them how to take care of their own audio puts money in your pocket and build your clientele base for those times when they need your help again and again.
I charge $80hr with a minimum of 22hrs a week on the books. Just a quick key from me to you. 1- location with unsaturated market. 2- good work space/equipment. 3- templates for EVERY genre with a commercial familiar sound texture.
Yeah I built a recording studio at my house I make so much money sometimes I be ducking artist lying saying my equipment broke when I need family time the money just keep on coming but its not because my studio is real nice with a vocal booth its cuz I'm good at what I do with mixes my girlfriend dont trip she fully understands
I wish I was in USA,, here new zealand the industry is tiny and is monopolize by a small group of engineers and is nearly impossible to make a few quid as a audio engineer....great video cheers mate 👍
get on fivver or be willing with to break a office from scratch. you have to make yourself the boss with you live somewhere there little to no industry or move to the big city.

The value of an engineer was what he/she knew , what he had figured out by experience and or experimentation. The sound that can be produce that is not produce by someone else. Now. Everyone that knows anything is posting it for views. So the career is done. If everyone knows everything there is no value. The pay has gone down to 10% what it use to be.

I’m going to school for audio engineering
I'm a beatmaker mixing&mastering engineer but I'm struggling😓😰
Costs me more money than i make most years!!!
I'm so broke
Who need some songs mixed?😅no serious
Stop limiting yourself to mixing rappers and singers. Find other industries that need audio editing/mixing.
Like which industries?
