Re: First Paying Gig - How much should I charge?

I never thought about releases.  I would be doing (formatting, Fireworking,

Photoshopping) all the files myself.  Each band would get between 20 and
30 
files both formatted for web and filesizes 8x12 or larger on a CD.  The 
promoter would also get a master copy.  I've only went from point and
shoot 
with a D50 a year ago November.  It's getting to be a very expensive hobby

(addiction). ;-)
