Nic D & Connor Price On Paying For Features, Royalty Splits With Producers + More | NDPNDNT Podcast

[@SpicyViolinist]

That intro about the bubbles being small was THE BEST lmao, thanks for the great info!

[@sainthills]

24:50 I once saw Russ say in an interview that the songs aren't products, they're "salespeople". Each song you put out is a salesperson selling the product that is the artist. Some salesmen do better than others and bring more money to the business

[@NDPNDNTmedia]

yup! amazing point

[@SpoiledSuede]

3 points on the back end for a producer is industry standard with a major label artist. There are many more slices to the pie. With an independent artist, the producer is often entitled to a more even splits as there are fewer slices to the pie. Don't forget... producers promote their music too!

[@ParrisCrockett]

I really hope Conor comes back to the show ! Love seeing all of y’all together !

[@sainthills]

The rental property metaphor is also really good

I agree totally when it comes to the producer talk. I only like to work with people close to me and I never give up a piece of my master royalties unless you're close to me and I have a relationship with me. Pub is all I'm willing to give but masters never or I'll give you a percentage if you work for it and if you aren't cocky about it

Helpful feature info - I dmed 100+ artists with 500k-1M monthly listeners and the co-release cost was usually $2.5k-$5k. I had one drop a few months ago and already made half the money back. Also did a paid feature but that did nowhere near as well. Overall, paid co-releases seem like a great way to go

[@Starsh-101]

What’s a co-release ?

[@SuperYezzo]

3-5 points on the master is industry Standard for artists that are signed to a major label. It’s because the artists most of the time get only 20% of the master and the label gets 80%. So 5 points is like 25% of what’s the artist gets on the master side. For independent artists 25% of the master would be the equivalent for the producers share.

I watch and listen to all of these podcasts, great info in here.

[@NDPNDNTmedia]

Thanks so much!

[@AgaCzyz]

So much KNOWLEDGE here and great tips❤

[@coleengle4649]

Out of curiosity, let's say the producer did help push the song and make content. What would be the issue with giving him/her 50% and just recouping before paying out every time? That way any time you put money into marketing you have to make your money back before paying out again

Do y'all know if your tiktok algorithm as a consumer affects the tiktok algorithm that the content you post ends up on as a creator

[@altermoremusic]

13:00 Не дуже згодний з Ніком стосовно оплати відсотка продюсеру. Адже успіх треку з'являється в тому числі завдяки музиці, яку написав автор. Так само як слова та виконання артиста працюють потім, так само і продюсер, який написав музику, цілком має право отримувати відсоток з доходів за трек, адже в треку його музика. Це досить логічно 🤷🏻‍♂ Бо інакше це те саме, якби ти випустив трек на стрімінг платформи і вони, умовно, заплатили тобі просто за твій реліз, наприклад 5К доларів і все. А потім трек вистрілить і всі гроші зароблятимуть вони. Тому це не дуже справедливо. Особисто мені не дуже зрозуміло, як працюють автори бітів. Я пишу музику сам, пишу пісні сам, звожу мастерю музику сам. Тож можу назвати себе повноцінним продюсером. І якби я писав музику для вас, я би просив не лише оплату за роботу, але й як мінімум, хоча би 15-20% від доходу. Якщо це фіт, то 50/50. А взагалі як для PRO так і паблішингу буде правильно вказати відсоток доходу автору музики. Це одна з причин, чому я продовжую вчитись і робити все один. Дуже складно з кимось щось вирішити, мало хто розуміє об'єм роботи, як і те, що всім треба їсти та годувати сім'ю. Чому автор музики не має права годуватись з неї протягом життя, коли вона далі продовжує грати всюди? Це несправедливо.
