Oh, I forgot to mention that I've had one offer to mix an album for someone, simply for the exposure. We can't pay you, but *long pause* I've written them back, inquiring about what they plan to charge for their CD, tracks online etc. If they reply with a figure, like so much a CD, I'll counter with a tiny percentage of that, like 50 cents an album or something.
Is there any merit at all to that "do it for exposure" argument? I like to say "you can die from exposure", but I also don't want to turn down work, since I'm having trouble finding it to begin with. *laugh*
Am I more of a sucker if I refuse jobs, or if I do those jobs but for nothing? *LOL* I realize it's hard economically for bands and artists starting out, but I'm thinking also that if I don't value my skills and time, nobody else will either!
