Hi Michèle,

Of course, I am well aware of that I was just responding to Alan, who it seems missed that it was for a cover song.

Thank you Alan, would that be true for a cover song?

Which was the case with this situation before I bailed.

Thank you Mark, good idea – however it boils down to 2 options. Take the fee and never see a future split, or walk away.

I was wondering if my asking for a clause that means a split of income ‘IF’ the song version were to become successful was unreasonable???

The metrics can be high, and the percentage low, I just wanted to cover myself however unlikely.

I have worked on a few remixes that went on to be hugely popular, and never saw an additional penny past the original remix fee. Similar situation to cover off here.

Okay thanks. BMG is a good example.

Would the German arm not market to Germany, and the US to the US?

At least initially that might see more usage in one territory over another?

[Monkeyman99]

Thanks for all the advice!

[Monkeyman99]

Thanks, but as time is limited I would prefer to have placed with a publisher if possible.

[Monkeyman99]

Thanks Guys, I will check out that info.

[Monkeyman99]

Thanks. I only mentioned Artlist as a recent webinar strongly recommended using it, but got you thanks.

[Monkeyman99]

Super awesome, and thank you Dave. I haven’t tried Crucial Music but I will 😉

Thank you Art, do you know which libraries might be interested in cover songs?

I feel like generally most will not be interested, but any info on spcific libraies would be much appreciated ??

[Monkeyman99]

Good question – because I should make it clear that I direct people to contact libraries and to work with me only if that does not work out.

You have to realise that the people I am thinking of work day jobs, and barely have time to make music. Their music sits on Spotify and receives minimal plays – but the quality is really good and if I can work with them for a cut to get in to publishers, why not?

[Monkeyman99]

Good point – by email to date, but a phone call is in the pipeline

[Monkeyman99]

Thanks guys – and Yeh I can see the long intro not being the best arrangement – I might look at making it a breakdown instead. cheers!
