yep 50/50 split
of the bag of pills bought with the profits
label retains all glowstix for a 5 year period
Having never been on the producer side of things, I'm curious if
anyone can illuminate some of the basics when it comes to artist
compensation for small record labels (the kind most of us buy our
vinyl from).
So if Producer A writes a track, how does he/she sell it to a small
electronic label?
A friend of mine just gives the artist 10% of the pressed copies to
sell at shows or whatnot. no idea how standard that is.

At the small end of the scale I think it really depends on the label's
business model and (hopefully) what works out best for both parties.
Things I have seen are (and not mutually exclusive)
* copies of the work instead of $
* outright payment - although I would never advise anyone to 'sell'
Well, in my experience label and artist split the profit of a release
50/50. If you're lucky you'll get an advance on this one. For that
you'll give the label the permission to do whatever they feel is right
with this particular recording.
Cheers!

this is the way how I've worked for about ten years now.
split the profit of a release 50/50, and an advance on this one.
an other option is a percentage of all sales,
mostly ranging kinsda 15% - 20% -
sometimes better for artist - as you're then not involved on cost side
of the label
