PREP 101 - HOW TO GET A RECORDING CONTRACT! "Talent" is not required!
WHAT WON'T WORK! - "Waitie costs of recording. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
Once you have a release via an ExP contract, your records will be out in the world with everybody else, and you'll find out damned fast that the competition is also damned keen! Especially when it comes to the real source of selling records: MARKETING and PROMOTION! Let the record company hire the record promoters, when and if they need them. And face the fact that regardless of 'how good' you think your record is, and how hard the record company works on your behalf, the damned thing might not sell! Just remember that all Super Stars have far more flops than they do hits! And only ONE song out of 5,000 ever makes any real money at all. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
"waiting to be discovered" and signing your soul away in a shelving/sweetheart contract. If you're idiotic enough for either, then the Industry wishes you a very sincere Good Riddance! - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
The particular Field of Music (Rock, Country, Pop, Blues, Jazz, Blue Grass, Rap, Gospel, Folk, Filk, Classical, Dixieland, Alternative, New Wave, etcetera) really doesn't matter, the Rules are the same for everybody. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
You have to be Industry Literate, and as promotion-rich as you are session-rich! If your music is really worth a million bucks the burden of proof is on you to document it! That takes both Industry KNOW-HOW and MONEY! It doesn't take a lot of either, but it does take a total lack of paranoia and half-cocked emotional tangents. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
Manfacturing copies and shipping them is the absolute stupidest thing you can do! First, the instant you manufacture you've totally destroyed all anti-counterfeiting possibilities! Second, all the Industry-Idiotic Blunders you've made will follow you for a lifetime: and there are a multitude of them! Improper credits - long-running times - clobber-copy - and the list goes on ...... The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
Before you even begin to record you need to have a Record Release contract of some kind, the best being an "Executive Producer's Record Release Agreement" that doubles your mechanical royalties, eliminates charge-back, and lets you retain all rights to your Masters and just about everything else. The only compositions that are tied up are those actually in the project! And, you're going to have to spend some money. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
Production advice to make a commercially acceptable record is free from the Record Company once you're ready to do business. And the link just below will give you more information than you ever knew existed and tell you where to go next to get your music out in the Real World where it stands a chance to make money. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
Take the time to study this entire site - there's more information in this one site than all the other sources put together! There is solid and very factual advice in many webpages, some of which are linked (see our linkpage) here, but none tells the whole story from songwriting and publishing to international promotion, distribution and licensing to getting paid while avoiding the Turkey List in the process. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
Without any paranoia attached, once you're ready to do business, contact any of the Super Nine General Licensers and ask for an "Executive Producer's Record Release Agreement". If you get any run-a-round at all, it's probably because that Licenser is buried in buy-back of unsalable product and just simply does not have the immediate available budget. Since 'talent' doesn't mean a damned thing in this Industry and MONEY does! - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
If you get a turn-down simply call the next General Licenser until you get an acceptance. If they all turn you down, except for paranoia on your part, wait ninety days and call them all again. They're in business TO MAKE MONEY and they need records to do that, but they don't need your paranoia or Industry Ignorance in the process. So be ready to spend some money in your records
ARTICLE 15
So - for a re-cap and wrap-up - get an ExP agreement before you record and follow the Market Advice of your General Licenser Representative. Be ready to invest in yourself or don't waste anybody else's time! Don't sign any contracts, management or otherwise, until you are in a Market Demand league to require it. And don't think you can 'sell' one song to some 'star' and finance your career. - The damned lies of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC notwithstanding!
