Not got any recommendations but good scanning services should compensate for variance in exposure.
I sent off a roll to Make it Easy with completely guessed (ie shit) exposure and it all came back nicely balanced, for instance.
That said if you're only printing up to A5 kind of size then you'd probably be okay with a decent flatbed scanner. Might be a good bit cheaper than a dedicated 35mm scanner.

As with others above I try not to worry about the cost, but also don't shoot that much (less than a roll a month). I reminisce about the cheap days every now and then but also try to remember that Boots/ASDA dev and scan was pretty shit, looking back. Scratched up negs, weird colour shifts, no B&W dev by the end...

Are you thinking of recording electric bass? Avoid the line-in port on your monitor, that will be low quality.
Taking the signal from your bass directly into your mac is the best bet. A cheap audio interface will do that just fine: https://www.thomann.de/gb/zoom_u_22.htm

and, would anyone be interested in a Zeiss Ikonta folder? It's one of the last models they made I believe. 6x6 on 120, 75mm Tessar lens, uncoupled rangefinder which is still in alignment.
No light leaks in the bellows, all shutter speeds work fine, the lens is very sharp and seems to be pretty immune to flare even in direct sunlight. The only downside is that the paintwork is tatty; this doesn't affect the usage of the camera. The reason I'm selling is that I'm shit at composing for 6x6!
It's on ebay at the moment, but I'll do it significantly cheaper here—£100 PPG plus postage (around a fiver). See below for a sample image.
