how long do you wait for a track to release after signing co

[thierry_le_dj]

ok i recently got signed to a label but all the paper work was done like 2 months ago and i've recently email the label about when is the actual date on the release but they don't reply the emails..

hmm do i keep emaling them?

or do i let it go?

how long does it normally take for it to release after you've done the paper work?

maybe am just starting to get frustrated with this not sure.

Depends on the release schedule really. Wasn't there anything in the paperwork?

Really odd that they don't answer your emails though.

as this is my debut i think i just got really excited and just signed away though it kinda be out a couple of weeks but it been about 2months.
just don't know what going on to be honest.

Dont they have a phone number you can call? i would just keep bugging them every way you can until you get some kind of real answer

Bro, name your threads better so people can search for them in the future.

Depends - I have had tracks that took 6+ months from being signed to getting released. However, communication is key. Everyone gets busy, true - but they shouldn't be messing you about either.

My last EP was almost 6 months.

The paper work should have stated something along the lines of "Label shall release the Records within ______ months of delivery of the Master Recordings", sounds a bit dodgey if there's nothing like that.

[havokdubstep]

Then again ive only had one release so i'm not too sure if every label mentions that...

[thierry_le_dj]

ok fair enough maybe they are pretty busy!
don't know how the whole process really work's but thats what happening.

i've seen other of there release on digital stores..
maybe am just worried for nothing as am only new to this.

I hope you read the contract? Most of the some labels have a sample copy from the internet, but change it to their liking, because it cost too make a fresh one, (you would need a solicitor to write one up)

Anyway, on the package they send you with the paperwork, it should have a label with their details, including phone number. However, don't keep bothering them, they may be busy, give it some time my friend

I am in the same boat, waited for ages for some remixes from a couple people and now the promo game...

[kaiori breathe]

From what I've seen it takes an eternity I wouldn't worry about it, get proper contact details like a phone number or aim so you always have a way to stay in communication that's better than e-mail.

fastest was about 6 months. longest hasn't come out "yet," but was signed in 2007.

those are both physical releases, though-- if digital releases aren't coming out ontime, then i'd be concerned.
