    Hypothetically speaking a distribution deal would sound more ideal for indie artists who just want a bigger promo/marketing budget ?

    Is a split sheet needed if it was a work for hire deal? Also if the copyright has been filed for the song as a work for hire is there any way that a producer can still receive funds possibly from BMI or would they have had to had been listed as a publisher when the copyright was filed?

    • @ciaracorr6015
      @ciaracorr6015 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If it is a work for hire in most situations usually the answer is no .. its a one-time payment for services. Just make sure you have a receipt for what you paid for. As far as the copyright you need to work out what kind of licensing deal you have with the producer. If you are doing a work for hire with a producer usually there are no split sheets involved you pay him or her usually a higher chunk of money to produce a record and you own all the copyright etc. You may pay the producer a smaller amount for there services or for the beat and split the publishing. Something like Stem would be good for that. It can be a very complex process.

    What's the difference in distribution deal and signing a deal to record company?

    • @herpderpin8554
      @herpderpin8554 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Short answer: you own your masters with a distro deal. With a record label, they own your masters.

    • @PhaseVi
      @PhaseVi  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Short answer: Today...A record deal involves working the artist from the beginning of the creative process all the way to marketing and promotions while a distribution deal is all marketing and promotions for an act that already has an audience and completed project. Both could include advances, both could include further collaboration, both could require ownership or equity in the music, and both of these deals could be very diverse depending on how they are negotiated.
      Long Answer: I just recorded a 6min+ video detailing this further. Lookout for it to drop on the series titled ASL(Ask Sirr Love) on this Channel.
