Narration During Books Confessions of a Record Producer: How to Survive the Scams and Shams of the Music Business
(Book). This fully updated and expanded book is not about how the music business should work, but how it does work. Industry insider Moses Avalon tells it like it is how producers dip into budgets, artists steal songs, lawyers write contracts in code and shows you how to survive these and other career-stifling situations. Deconstructing actual major and indie-label record deals, this book dissects each party's involvement and offers perspective on their actual roles, how much they get paid, and what their agendas really are. Engineers, managers, producers, artists, labels and lawyers each take their turn in the hot seat. It also outlines realistic alternatives for newcomers, such as "baby" production deals and vanity labels. This third edition includes: an entire chapter comparing ASCAP and BMI a publishing first * new insights for indie artists, including the lowdown on digital-distribution scams and independent A&R * information on new legislation and its impact on sampling and other legal matters * new music-industry "family trees" that reflect recent consolidation and reorganization * 80 pages of new material * and much more.

Must read for any aspiring artists..
This book was added to the coursework and our entire final was based off of it in my Entertainment Law course. Great book. If nothing else it will help you analyze contracts and that helped me a great deal in my career in music.Anyone whether an artist, songwriter, producer should read this book. Especially I would reccomend this to any artist starting out and DEFINITELY to any indie or unsigned artist.Any uneducated artist will run to an opportunity rather than get educated first. The Music
Great reference for anyone who is interested in being in the music industry. Huge eye opener for anyone who isn't familiar with the shadiness of the major labels. This book will make you hate them even more. It always make me feel better when I read about how many ways they screw people over and are now beginning to go down the drain.
Unfortunatly, I got a used copy which was the original edit from 1998. Needless to say, a lot has changed in the music business then so it wasn't terribly useful. More my fault than anything.
This is a very interesting book on the music industry. I have not found this information elsewhere. After reading this book I feel much better about my decision to leave the music industry.
