I am a composer, mixer, producer, etc. currently about to leave graduate school.

This question is a bit personal, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, but maybe you can give some sort of insight. What kind of pay can someone expect when writing freelance for games? Obviously it differs per project, but a range for larger and smaller games would be helpful. Also, what is the salary like for in-house composers at both larger and smaller firms?

Are you receiving royalties from freelance game projects or are they up-front payments?

What are the licensing payments like for your material that UFC uses?

Sorry if I crossed any lines here...you don't have to answer all of it. I just expect some of these opportunities will be open to me in the near future and I'd like some guidance on which will be the most worthwhile to pursue.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks! Very tactful, haha.

Follow up - so for example in the case of the UFC music, generally one would get licensing + royalties?
