My remix on someone else's EP - Need help
Posted on: 10.04.2013 by Zana Chevallier
So I made a remix for this kid, and it is going to be on his new EP. He is wanting to sell his EP for $10...my question is should I get a percentage of each sale? Also he is going to be selling my remix on his EP, but atm I want all of my tracks to be free. I'm really not worried about the money, I just want the chance to gain some followers.

if i were u, i wouldn't ask for any royalties. thats just me. it depends who approached who. I make remixes for some of my fav local artists out of sheer respect/enjoyment of their work. if they include it in an EP, id be stoked. and if it gets huge, then even better... but im in no point in my career where Id ask someone for $$ unless THEY came to me for a remix. even then, you gotta look at the platform of the artist. if hes huge, id prolly consider it an honor for him or her to ask me to remix one of their tracks.

11.04.2013		Yea.. whats this nonsense of giving people tracks before deciding what to do with it and how it will be put out?

11.04.2013		Also, what does only 4 songs have to do with being ready to sell them... If they are good enough they are good enough. Some of the bigger name producers exploded onto the scene with what I would call less than stellar work.

This is business my friend, never give a sniff of a track to anyone without some form a legal documentation to protect both of you in the future. This is your lively hood.. or could easily become it.

I have purchased every remix that people have done for me flat out. Depending on how I believe it will sell and how much exposure the artist has. The least I have ever paid is 75 bucks and the most is 350 bucks.

I have remixes I have done on royalty contract.

PM me and I will help you.
^^this.

You need a contract...

10.04.2013		Well I mean this this kid has no real exposure, and neither do I. I have only made four songs, so I am not ready to sell any of my stuff. And to top it off, I don't even believe he was planning on paying me, so I am just trying to gain some insight on the subject before I talk to him about some payment. If he doesn't want to give me anything, then I could just release the song that I made for him as a bootleg, right?

10.04.2013		No single answer to this
in some instances remixers are paid a flat fee
fat flee + percentage
percentage

it's a negotiation based on how much exposure you have
