It's what I've used on artists for Mindset Entertainment. The contract was actually like 6 pages long, but I lost a majority of it, so I pieced together that one for the time being. (System crash)
 
This ain't the appropriate thread, but I wasn't gonna just go start one.. but wtf is up with some of these members? I was in the mic forum, and asked a simple question about micing, and this and that, and I get bombed with bad rep and it sent my rep points dropping, and now it's at 7 freakin' points. Why the fuck are they so immature. 40 year olds acting like dumb fuck kids..
 
some think their gods..of home recording, dont like urban music, and feel that if your asking a question without sayin you did a search you didnt try hard enough to find the answer to your question..but most of them are just a--hole and do it to piss you off..

just give it time sometimes someone will answer you with the correct answer..
 
Had the same problem in the free ads section. I hate when people popping shit and dont leave no name. Thats some ho shit.
 
they dropped my rep power from 47 to 7. that's krazie... how they do that?
 
One contract I'm missing.... If I'm selling a beat, what contract should I use for Executive Rights???
