I'm wondering whether some of you who have worked on larger, more commercial recording projects tend to charge artists an up-front cash fee, or do you actually go through the hassle of writing up a contract?
If you actually do bother with the contract, what are some of the standard things that you stipulate? Do you ever attempt to own any part of the sound recording, or get royalties for its sales or airplay (in the case of an indie band)?
