  It don't matter if they have the masters or stems you just have to register the song before giving to the artist or after the recordings done free game here ppl

  Thank you for uploading such an informative video. Can I ask, for a songwriter, how best do you go around copyrighting the lyrics & master recording? Is it still owned by them if recorded in another person's studio? Can they leave with the recording, and its theirs alone, or is it best to have something in writing?

  So is the master recording the original recording before all the mixing and finished version?

  I’m pretty sure as long as you’re registered with ascap and all that n own everything then if you pay for studio time they don’t own the master recoding just cuz u recorded it there. Cuz u paid for the service to use the studio to record. If they made the beat that’s a different, u have to work out before hand how u are purchasing the beat. Are u paying flat out or are u sharing royalties, etc.

  Prince recorded EVERYTHING in his own paid for studio.. BUT Warner Bros. had ownership of his Masters.. that led to their war.  & many others experienced the same thing.. So has something changed??   Because someone could record your material on their iPad.. does that stop it from being yours   if you are the writer, and you produced the beats, wrote the lyrics??

  So, Her voice rapped them lyrics that were written by Aleem . MEANING Aleem written rap vs completed music that she rapped making the music completed song on her laptop hmmm... so her voice may come across as a composer since aleem don't have her voice but just rap on a paper? man,  I'm confused .. So she owned the completed song plus the computer she recorded her vocals on with the date of the recording whilst aleem wrote on a piece on paper i'm amusing without the song been registered hmm . This is the reasons why we should use a computer to write our music, especially on G-drive with the date recorded automatically before one gives out them lyrics. My question now is what if she's a session singer does that count? or i just pay her and that's it?

  Why does the producer feel the need to control the master if he’s not the artist performing the song?? You need the artist to make the song something special.
