    a bigger bang for the buck cannot be had than a nice FCP suite.
    Because it does what it advertises (bonus) and because it can grow as your needs grow without a do-over, it somply is the wisest decision one can make with almost any work flow.
    It sounds like your wanting to be middle man so stability is a great assest. Offering some offlining with a used (and very cheap) Meridien-based Avid may be the perfect way to test the waters. Maintenance is a non-issue. If it became one, just hit ebay and replace the thing, billing it back the very next week. You could then market a nice fcp online suite to accent that offline suite.
    Double billing rules.

    When ya start handing your time away for nuthin, ya soon can get int he red. If you actually pay… well, thats red from the get-go.
    Bottom line is it deserves investment, do it. If it’s just another gig, it’s their penny. I charge the same for travel time as I do for anything else.

    Non compete contracts are admissions that the grass is greener elsewhere. There is no reason to sign one of these ever, under any circumstancers, at freakin all. If a company wants to keep you from competing, it’s their job to keep you happy.
    It’s bold enough for a company to ask a staffer to sign one of these but to ask a freelancer to disable himslef from freelancing is crazy. If working for a top secret entity, again they can buy some loyalty. Forcing it with a signature is bogus.

    My rate is based on my experience, talent and creativity and is charged by the hour. How many hours I spend of my time is what determines the invoice. I only need to know how the end product is used so I know what kind of master to make. How many see it is not a care of mine.

    I am only 38 but I have still yet to see any partnership work out over time.
    There is a lot of value in being under one roof to feed one another while maintaining the motivation of being a sole proprietor. Freedoms not only allow that freedom feeling, the lack of what we see as security is quite motivating. Feel like a partner aint pullin his weight and you’ll eith let up to in order to not work more than he or boot him and start over. This is what I have seen, anyway.

    diggin the vibe a lot, Jasson.
    there are a few lil things like that finger not cursing over certain linkage and perhaps the mention of cinematography services followed by what video gear you have (do you offer film services?) but it’s a real clean, easily surfed site, man.

    sounds liek the deck just may not be hooked up right. Do ya see avid’s meters workin? do ya hear it?
    you did mean xlr to rca, not bnc, right?
    With the adapter, you’d still bring it in digital in your settings as those settings will not know about the adapter.
