The 3 Core Creative Studio Leaders

Composer: Writes core original melody, lyrics, and harmonic chords.
Arranger: Translates core chords into horn lines, string quartets, and drum grooves.
Record Producer: Oversees sonic tone, performance takes, mixing, budget, and final master quality!

Royalty & Credit Standards

Composers earn publishing songwriting royalties; Producers earn master recording royalty points (points on backend revenues).
