As NARIP explains it:
“The role of the music producer – which has always been important – has become increasingly so as producers now more often emerge as talent themselves (as opposed to the force behind the talent). At NARIP’s Aug 18 event in New York, two top music attorneys – Donald Kaplan and Ted Stachtiaris – will conduct a mock negotiation of a music producer agreement, reveal areas of greatest leverage and duke out the most important deal points.
The facts about one of the most lucrative parts of the music industry – revealed! To include a mock negotiation of a music producer deal and a sample agreement.
YOU WILL LEARN
The right time to make a deal and major areas of negotiation, including:
— Producer advance vs. recording fund. Did you know it all comes out of the artist’s recording fund?
— Producer royalty. Did you know it all comes out of the artist’s royalty?
