im a noobie in the process of becoming a music a producer and i have a couple questions i hope you can answer about music production in general. Once my catalog of instrumentals is big enough/industry quality, i plan to produce for hip hop artists, and also in the future, pop artists.
ok so from my understanding, if you have a home studio you can record the song/vocals and mix it then send it for mastering, who pays for the track to go get mastered, the producer or artist? in my case, I cant record vocals at home i can only do beats/instrumentals, so will i, the producer, have to rent studio time? or does the artist split with me to go in the studio and record vocals over the beat/song? or does the label they are with with cover that? how does the producer get paid in this case? can someone break down how a producer gets paid for the track he/she made, like the bmi/ascap situation, what paperwork do i do? how do royalties work? what if you are the producer and song writer dont you get paid more?
my next question is about working with artists overseas/different cities, how does that work?
