Do you push the product? Not the band, do you personally take an active part in the sales? If so, I'd ask for a cut.Phil O wrote:I've got a similar situation. I recorded a band a few years back. They have three CDs which they sell at gigs. Not much money here, but they are making a little extra with sales. Now, I'm IN the band, but not on the CDs, and I already made money recording the projects. Should I share in the profits from CD sales? The question has come up, but hasn't been decided yet. Whatever the band leader decides is fine with me, but it's a little tricky don't you think?mikehalloran wrote:...Twice I was recruited to join groups only to be told that they just went into the studio for their new album but they were using the old member for the recording. I wasn't going to be on any tracks nor was I going to share. I let them know that, since I would be touring to support this and would be expected to push this product from the stage, I expected to be on some of the cuts.

Should you have shared a producer credit? Hard to negotiate backwards but can be done.
The easiest way is to record another album with your full participation.
