Got Questions?

Who owns the recording?
You do! Once you have paid for the project in full, you completely own the masters to your project. AMP (or anyone else for that matter) cannot legally duplicate or sell your project without your permission. If AMP would like to use your recording for promotional use, we will ask for your permission.

Will you help me pitch my project to record labels, booking agents, and management?
AMP does not formally offer a package where they will send your album to other music industry conglomerates. In our experience, those production companies that offer these services have a low success rate, and we would rather focus on what we do best - quality recording and production. However, the individuals working on your project may have personal connections to an organization of which you would like to make contact. It is your responsibility to make friends with the people you surround yourself with, and ask if they can help you. If asked, AMP will make suggestions on how to best make a pitch or presentation.

Do you do the artwork?
Again, because AMP is focused on the quality of your recording, we do not have in-house photographers and graphic design people to do your artwork. We do, however, have extensive contacts with fantastic photographers and designers. If you wish, we can coordinate the photography and graphic design of your CD artwork and other promotional pieces. As this is not our core focus at AMP, we would provide this service at an additional cost, discussed with you beforehand. 

Do you do the duplication of my CD's?
If you wish, AMP can take care of the duplication of your CD's. Please contact us for pricing.

Will you help me come up with ways to market and sell my recording?
One of the advantages to using AMP is the wealth of the team's experience. We would be more than happy to make some suggestions on how to market and sell your recording. If you would like a detailed marketing plan, contact Jared Ribble, and he will work with you. (Additional fees will apply)

I want to record a song, but I do not know if I have the rights to do so. Can you help us?
It is the sound recording owner's responsibility (that is you) to make sure you are within the legal boundaries to record and sell music that you did not compose. AMP and their team have had some experience working with publishers to negotiate the rights to use someone else's song, and can advise on that process. However, in those circumstances, AMP is only an advisor to you. AMP is in no way responsible for what you choose to record with us.

Will AMP help me find songs to record?
What you choose to record is your own decision. If you would like AMP to make suggestions, we will be glad to do so.

I have some lyrics, and melodies written. Can AMP help me finish these songs?
Writing the melody, lyrics, and chord structure are all part of composing the song. AMP has helped many people flesh out a song nugget into a full composition. Of course, your producer will be glad to work with you to finish composing any part of the song of which you need help. (for instance, a new form, the creation of a bridge, or realizing the chord structure for a given melody). However, out of professional courtesy, you should offer them co-writing credits, along with a percentage of the publishing royalty you receive. The producer will work this out with you prior to helping you finish your songs. AMP is generally not in the business of seeking out co-writing, arranging or production royalties on our client's albums; we do, however, expect that if one of our producers plays a significant role in completing otherwise incomplete compositions, we will be credited accordingly.
