Thats what I was thinking..I've sold beats for that price...You think if the artist cop 5 beat should I give him a discount?

[introducingjmac]

its all up to you man. if you think he will pay 500 for 5, don't bother doing a discount.

[DJ TEKNIK]

True

[Big Jo]

i think there should be a discount personally

I remember Wendy Day saying something about this as far as limiting the value of you work. You charge what you think it's worth or whatever you feel the artist deserves to pay for it. Yeah we(producers) trying to spread the brand around, but it's cats trying to get just the same. So in a way you create your own market depending upon what the situation is. The most I've charge tho for an unknown myself was 250 and that was with the hook and all mastered. But I was all analog then too so that extra cream came in handy for cables and new headphones.

If a dude is willing to pay $1,000 for a beat how you gawn say no to that? But at the same time you ain't trying to scare away no clientelle. Ain't nothing wrong with negotiations either though. You say $500 from jump and see what they say - how they react. Then be like, "well that's what I usually do but let me see if I could do better."

$100-$200

Depends also on your discography.. if you've been doing tracks for well-known artists and putting out hot tracks, you deserve to up the price. If an artist is serious about this music ish, they'll pay.

You also don't want to sell yourself short.
