This guide walks an artist and a producer through one Music Production project on Musicpher: agree on the deal, deliver the work, get paid, then distribute the release.
- Create free accounts and finish your artist and producer profiles.
- Invite your collaborator from Work Requests if they are not on Musicpher yet.
- The producer needs a payment account before they can receive work requests.
On the estimate, pick one:
- Flat fee
- Fixed amount for the work, paid when finals are ready.
- Royalty split
- Producer earns a percentage of future earnings instead of a full fixed fee.
- Hybrid
- Part fixed fee now, part backend percentage later.
- Hourly
- Pay for time on sessions or hourly items.
Not sure? Start with flat fee.
Structure your work in 6 steps:
Artist sends a Music Production work request to the producer. If they are not on Musicpher yet, invite them first. Producer accepts.
Producer creates the estimate, sets the deal type and terms. Artist reviews and accepts. Musicpher creates the project.
Artist adds the songs. Musicpher generates the legal Music Production contract. Both parties sign.
Run the work in the project: production, recording, mixing and mastering, then deliverables. Producer uploads finals and sends them. Artist reviews and accepts.
Set master and publishing shares on the project. Everyone accepts. Musicpher issues certified split sheet certificates.
Artist pays online when the deal requires it. After the artist accepts the work, Musicpher sends automatic payouts to the producer or engineer.
Distribute the release through Musicpher so streaming royalties stay aligned with certified split sheets and automatic payouts.
