Why is the Budapest Scoring Orchestra affordable?

Wages are still low in Central/Eastern Europe, compared to the Western part of the continent or North America. And this comes with top musical education, giving lot of competition.

What is the rate for a shared session?

Budapest Scoring is great, especially strings

Rates are low/competitive 'cause the wages are low. Also they're playing the quantity game. They can offer a pretty good product for fairly cheap by doing alot of work vs a few sessions every now and then.

Also, the shared sessions are publicity as well. Rather than risking having 3 hr session, you can grab a single hour and see how it is. Seems pretty smart to me.

About to do just this.

how are their video recordings of their sessions?

how much do they charge?

I'm curious about this and specifically if it's a USA wages vs eastern Europe wages or another thing. Because for example I see the fox stages empty like 90% of the time. And the rates are astronomical. The players of course are AAA and union. But many of these stages are empty. Maybe that's why session players have to charge a lot more? or unions see to charge a lot more.

But how about that new cinesamples scoring stage (Hollywood scoring stage). I see that one more like the Budapest scoring stage. Targeting tv shows and mid size films. Trying to always have it filled out. Players are good and I think non union?

Anyone know the rates differences?
