[Fmpro] grrr mixed articulation "hot licks"

[JJB]

What is the industry standard pay scale for two hours of bassoon? In 
terms of ethics, in a work for hire, should one observe union scale when 
paying non-union members, or should one negotiate a price that is agreed 
to by both parties.

Depending on the skill of the negotiator, the college kid might even 
come out better off than the Union member if his negotiation chops are 
better than Chris. Maybe there would be some other benefits or trade of 
goods that take place - maybe the kid wants a better Bassoon and Chris 
happens to have his great grandpa's awsome killer bassoon gathering dust 
in his closet & the kid gets it as part of the deal...

Also, which is better:

A)
Chris records an articulated midi part and nobody gets payed anything, 
Chris looses business because of all the time he wasted tweaking midi 
when he could have been composing more music or pounding the pavements 
looking for more clients.
Did the Mothership Land, lets listen to that again...maybe.

B)
Chris hires a genius kid bassoon player and the kids gets payed a flat 
fee of say $200 for his time as a work for hire.
The Mothership Definitely Lands

C) Chris hires a union bassoon player at union rates who records an OK 
bassoon part that works but doesn't make anyone's hair stand up - the 
Mothership does not land.
