Howdy Folks,

I've been charging clients $50 a day for Time Coded MP3 transcriptions
recorded @ 64kbps. Ch. 1 = Time code @ -20 and Ch. 2 = the I/V. I
avoid dragging a lap top to the shoot by emailing the files to them
later. What's everybody else out there charging?

Cheers,

Yep, $50 -- but I give them a dvd/cd at the end of the day.

Charles...do you have your laptop on location so that you can convert
and upload files during the day, ie our lunch or downtime break?
Seems to be the latest wrinkle!!!

thanks...cleve

I always have my laptop with me but rarely process anything on location. If
they are in a huge hurry I'll do it but generally I take it home and upload
it to www.yousendit.com and furnish a download link unless I'm dealing with
a transcription house with dedicated FTP. As I've mentioned before, I use
the processing and upload time to finish all my other paperwork and also
take a listen to my work on studio quality monitors which gives me a better
sense of my work.

As an aside, I did a multichannel recording at Seattle's famous Pike Place
Market with a number Seahawks for ESPN on Friday and let the producer walk
with BWF Poly on a 2GB CF card. Just got a call from ESPN in Bristol that
they have no way to read a CF card....so I'm uploading the uncompressed poly
file as I type now! When I suggested they go to a Radio Shack and buy a CF
reader they seemed put out! :) ESPN built a brand spanking new HD broadcast
facility in the last couple of years and they don't have a single CF reader
in house. Guess my next step is to find some auction site and buy a dozen CF
readers for $4 each and supply those as well.

ESPN is just a slight step below local news in terms of where they are
in the tech world.
They can't deal w/ DVD Rams and hemmed and hawed at me about a DVD-R.
They were downright bizarre and defensive about getting anything other
than a DAT for a MNF Eva Longoria promo.
Maybe it's a Connecticut thing.
