Play Rock Manager
The
record labels have different musical focuses and it is
important to find one to suit your band and song. The
labels form an opinion of the song's quality and style
plus the band's quality and style. The better this matches
the labels preferences, the better the chance that they
will offer a contract and the better the terms.
Click Play demo to let them hear your
song. If the label like what they hear, they will offer
a contract, and if they don't like it they will tell you
why.
Contract proposal
A contract proposal has two sections, advance and royalty.
|
Advance
How much money the label is prepared to pay in advance
of future royalty. This sum will be paid to you
if you accept the contract, but will have to be
repaid (recouped) in full with your royalty on the
record sales before any royalty is paid to you.
This means that a big advance is a lot of cash in
your pocket but takes long to repay. If you cancel
the contract in a later stage, you will be liable
to pay back the remainder of the advance. You can
decrease the advance to get a higher royalty and
opposite. Click the arrows to the right of the box.
Royalty
What share of the sales receipts per copy goes to
you. You can decrease the royalty to get a higher
advance and opposite. Click the arrows to the right
of the box. |
Click OK to accept the contract offer (it can not
be changed once accepted) or Cancel to decline
and return to the city.
Record company
When you have a record deal, the options in the Record
Label view change. Now there are the following options:
|
Cancel contract
Cancel the record contract. You will be liable to
repay the advance. If you don't have enough money,
they will take all they can get their hands on.
Play New Demo
If you record a new song, the label must approve
it before it can be released. You will not get any
new advances for new records.
