Suggestion on a tutorial subject...

Eric Carlson

  Many might find this one boring, but a tutorial on how to breakdown, price, budget, and invoice an fx job would be great. So many of us get screwed when playing nice guy, or just don't know the proper way to go about professionally setting up contracts etc.
  Obviously every job is different, but some basic parameters and language to expect would go a long way towards making us all more professional in the biz.

That sounds like a useful tutorial to me!  I know the business side of things has always been one of the more difficult/confusing/frustrating aspects of effects in my experience.
