safe. yeah, sounds good.
4sure it should b the people releasing that sort the contracts...but in this case thats me.
also really need some kind of an agreement between me (as musician/producer, not a label) and vocalists, musicians etc that have performed on tracks i releasing.
there's nuf people on here putting out stuff by themselves and other artists, often with vocalists on, so either a> they just not bothering with contracts, b> they keeping em to themselves, or c> they dont waste their time lookin on the production forum
anyway, will pm u my mail. thanks

hello brethren,
Yes Synthetics you're right this advice wasn't very helpful was it. As far as I know Battle Gong's thread question is sorted now. He was asking for a contract 'template'. I PM'd him one, he got back to say thankyou, and as far as I know = job done! If only everything could be that simple. Checked out his myspace in the process, he's looking good there. I wish him luck with his venture. I like this forum for links. Big up yourselves!

because even though you may have good intentions (and a posse lol) there are plenty of sharks out there that will be more than happy to screw you over. Also when you have an agreement, even with a mate or fellow producer its all on the table, there is none of the confusion or mis-understandings that are typical of verbal agreements. Remember alot of verbal agreements are made at the Pub

yeah thanks again, problem half solved.
still need sumthing between producer and vocalists or whatever tho.
a verbal agreement all very well while u r all mates and makin zero money, but in the not-entirely-likely-but-still-possible scenario that the track gets picked up for a film soundtrack or something u need 2 b sure everything is clearly written out.
paying session musicians whove just added a few licks here and there is one thing, but a MC or vocalist thats written lyrics is entitled to a 50percent cut of profits in my opinion.
BUT NOT A PENNY MORE ha ha
thanks for compliments SLVA, the cheque's in the post ha ha
