pask74Great topic!
I used to work for cheap for local bands with the idea to help them launch their career but I found out that most of them are happy to use whatever is free and then scout for the next (near-)free studio etc. so it rarely produced any payback as such. Also, putting your name on emerging but not necessarily very good bands can be a bit hazardous.
Now, I've created a list of address with bands I'd be interested to offer my services to and send a studio newsletter (using Mailchimp) - which is a good excuse to let them know what is happening at the studio and let the word out.
I'm also considering contacting labels directly.
