Find Your Niche
The first step of becoming a freelance engineer
is finding your niche. Early on in your career,
you might be tempted to take any paying job (and
some free gigs too). Thats fine. Dont turn down
a good opportunity because its not within your
particular area of focus Try to align your
efforts on finding new clients within the field.

Set Your Rates
Before anyone will agree to work with you,
theyre going to want to know how much you
charge. There are a lot of factors that go into
determining your personal rate, like location,
experience, and competition. Do some research and
find what other studios in your area are
charging. Typically, recording is handled hourly.

Finding Clients
Initially it is tough to find freelance
engineering jobs. Most engineers do their first
few sessions for free in order to build a
portfolio. After making a few quality records,
build a simple, free website to show them off and
allow people to contact you for quotes. Your
first clients will be co-workers, acquaintances
and friends of friends. You already know them.
All you need to do is reach out to them.
