Tennessee you can NEVER do that. Why would you want to use somebody anyway if you wanna take FULL credit? If you dumb it down, the producer put in time, skill and precision to make the beat. That’ll never change so the producer will always have a percentage.
Just so you know Beats have nothing to do with Producer agreements. That's entirely different agreement which is generally a *Music Licensing Agreement.* for beat licensing. By a legal stand point there are two different legal binding agreements for Producer's in the music industry, *Producer Agreements* and *Production Agreements.* What you discribed in the video is Music Licensing which is licensing your musical works to a recording artist to use based on the terms and conditions. A Beat by copyright law is a Musical Works aka "Musical Composition". Beat making is a form of writing and composing music, thereof you are a Songwriter that Co-writes the music and the Artist adds the lyrics to make it a full song. By copyright law, that is what you call *Derivative Works* meaning two Co-writers owns and control's the underlying composition to the song rather its Music or Lyrics. Producer Agreements, are basically an agreement with a Record Producer that works for a Production Company or another Record Label that is contracted to another Record Label that is assigned to Produce Master Recordings for a specific Artist that's underling a Recording Agreement with that label for specific time as an Independent contractor. A Production Agreement is when a Record Producer signs an Artist into a Recording Production Agreement to Produce Demo's (Master Recordings) that's usually owned by the Producer or Production Company, and the Producer shop's the Artists demo's to Record Label's. The Producer usually fund's the recording cost just like a record company that the Artist would have to recoup from Record sales. If the Producer secures a record deal for the Artist, then the Producer is generally paid a percentage of the Artists Advance and record royalties of the Artists recording agreement with a Record Label.
Thanks for the well written retort. Though you have many factual points. This is not the only use for the producer agreement. I've seen them used in the ways that you described as well as the way that I described. Headings and titles can often lead to mis interpretation. Have many 360's have we seen in the form and language of management agreements, production agreements, and other. This paragraph provides great value and added perspective to anyone reading this so thanks for adding it. But there is nothing in accurate about this video. Just the ommission of wider use cases that have multiple possibilities. Thx for watching and adding value.
@@PhaseVi Yeah I have all types of Music Contracts drafted out by music attorneys. Production Agreements are basically the same thing as an Artist Development deal with a Record Company as they are both essentially demo deals that a Producer is signing an Artist to. So when an Artist signs a Production Agreement they are entering into a demo deal with the Production Company. The Production Company shops the Masters. But the Production Company also acts as a Sub-Contractor to Record Labels which is where a Producer Agreement comes to play. I have Producer Agreements that are modified for unsigned Artist's which is basically an Agreement when an Artist hires an Indepenent Record Producer as an Indepenent Contractor for its services to produce Masters or an Album for the independent unsigned Artist. Basically the Artist is the Record Label that self releases and exploits the Masters if they aren't signed to one in the same sense that a Songwriter is their own Publisher if they aren't signed into a Publishing deal. The Producer Agreements that I have does incorporate *Songwriting* and *Controlled Compostion* Clauses as basically the Record Producer is also the Co-writer of the Music that's wearing two hats known as a *Record Producer / Songwriter.* Its basically a Work-For-Hire Agreement for the Master's but the Producer still retains the Copyright ownership and author of the Underlying Musical Composition they contributed that comes with a Songwriter Split Sheet. That is where the Beat Making comes to play in a traditional Record Producer Agreement is when the Producer is also a Co-Writer which they generally recieve *Songwriting* and *Production* credits for both roles. Bryan-Michael Cox, Rodney Jerkins, J.R Rotem, Tricky Stewart, Teddy Reily, Timbaland, Pharell Williams, Scott Storch, Dr. Dre are all *Record Producer / Songwriters.* But, Not all Record Producers are Songwriters though since P-Diddy, Quincy Jones or Chris-Lord Alge doesn't make beats or have anything to do with Co-writing songs as they are Work-For-Hire Record Producer's. Basically each time Timbaland produces for an Artist that's not under the same label, he enters into a Sub-Contractor Producer agreement with that Artists label rather the Artist or the Label hired him.
Eman 08 alot of this is correct as well bro. I've served a producer agreement from a lawyer that represented a multiplatinum artist to a now multiplatinum producer. It was labeled a producer agreement. And met the terms of the video. A producer agreement is just an agreement between a producer and another party regarding the use of the producers work (licenses, copyright, master, etc.). If can be used in a variety of ways. I actually plan to make that same agreement available on the site for others to use in the way that I have stated in the video. It is universally practical. You can feel free to download it for further understanding or critique as you see fit. I do appreciate the added value this conversation will bring all of the viewers that read this. Thanks again. Hope you watch more vids✌🏾
Need all this info thanks alot bro appreciate you
Love it, super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
What about if you bought the beat upfront do you still have to address the percentage of royalties?
Tennessee Music yes!
BeezmanTv what’s are some things that should be in the contract when you purchase a beat and have full ownership?
depends on the stipulations to your purchase
Tennessee you can NEVER do that. Why would you want to use somebody anyway if you wanna take FULL credit? If you dumb it down, the producer put in time, skill and precision to make the beat. That’ll never change so the producer will always have a percentage.
Tennessee personally I would do split sheets and songwriting and not pay up front unless they big

Could there be an agreement based on royalties only?
*This was very Insightful* 🙌
Thanks Bruh
Whats the major difference between a fee and an advance
Fee=Flat Fee (non-recoupable)
Advance=Loan that has to be paid back from recoupment.
@@eman0828 so I as a producer have to pay back the advancement at some point?
