Hi all,
I have a situation where my band went to a producer. He recorded and produced our track.
We were not satisfied with the recording as it was far removed form our vision. Rather than go though revisions, he politely asked us to take the stems elsewhere.
Next - A new producer gets our vibe and does a great job using the stems. Over weeks, he mixed added production elements, eq'd everything and mastered.
The first producer wants to to be mentioned as 'recorded and produced by'. I understand 'recorded by' but we are not using his production elements even though he included some files with the stems, so at most as you do he recorded and cleaned up the raw files.
Do you think the first producer still deserves the 'produced by' mention as well as 'recorded by' ?
(also I'm referring to the mentions on the the streaming apps, not a % producer cut of the song)
Thanks in advance,
