The amount of pay a Production Sound Mixer makes varies greatly depending on experience, type of movie, location, difficultly of project, movie's budget, etc.

A Production Sound Mixer can earn anywhere from $250.00 (U.S.) a day up to $600.00 a day or more for his fee. Add to that the fee he or she gets for the rental of his gear and it can go way up for a film commercial or high end digital commercial. Reality television mixers tend to make less than that.

Movies tend to also pay lower because you are getting three weeks to a year of work on the same project, so your daily rate is lower plus you give the production company a one or two day "week" rental on the gear, or settle on a package rate for the entire movie.

If we're talking about live sound engineers, it depends entirely on the type and scale of the show, and on experience (though it's a given that someone completely new to the job won't be thrown into a massive show!). In the UK, what works out to about £10 an hour for an average gig as an in-house engineer - taking care of local support and assisting the headline act's engineer. Expect minimal if any pay when you start! But once you know what you're doing and can prove it, and done enough shows and networking to make a good name for yourself, you can pretty much charge what you want! Usually a bit more than the last ;)

Since the Soundcraft Producer 1600 Audio Mixers have been discontinued, it is difficult to gauge hou much the equiptment is worth. I would recommend checking with an audio engineer to get a quote on what the price would be if selling one of these.

What is the relationship between money and production?

As a basic law of economics, production and supply go hand in hand. At first, if you produce something people want, you make money by selling it. If you keep producing, you make more money. But if you produce too much, and there is no longer a demand for the product, you will not make as much money. so, as production increases, money increases until you reach the point where supply and demand are equal.


On a movie set what does the Production Sound Mixer do?

The Production Sound Mixer on a movie set is the person in charge of the Sound Department. Their main function is to make all the decisions about how to record the dialog and sound effects for the movie. They also are the person who operates the recorder that captures the sound coming from the microphones used to record the sound. The typical movie sound department will also have a person who is called the Boom Operator, who is the person who holds a boom pole and microphone over the actors while they talk, as well as one or more sound assistants.
