How To Set Rates As A Producer, Mixer, Or Engineer - Never Feel Underpaid Again Mix Flix 33 Views • 2 years ago

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle dives deep into one of the most critical decisions for music producers: how to set your project rates. Underbilling is a trap many fall into, driven by the desire to help and be "fair." But at what cost? Miss Krystle shares real-world examples of why understanding the true value of your time and skills is crucial for survival in the industry. From determining whether you should ask for backend profits to figuring out if you're charging enough to cover your time, gear, and creativity—it's time to stop leaving money on the table.

Don't wait until it's too late. Protect your time, your creativity, and your business with smarter pricing strategies. Miss Krystle outlines how to make sure you’re getting paid what you're worth, whether you're a producer, mixer, or engineer every time. Whether you’re working on a flat fee or negotiating for backend points, make sure you're covered legally with contracts. If you're not factoring in administrative time or using your skills to add more value to your clients, you're losing money. Watch now and take control of your career before it’s too late.
