Re: vocal recording
What does your contract SAY you're entitled to?
No contract? What does your union say you're entitled to?
No Union?
You're entitled to be paid a session fee for the back-up singing. You MAY also be entitled to a percentage of the producer's royalty, IF you can prove you were a producer on the record.
Having a clear, unambiguous contract is the best way to avoid questions like this in the future. Talking about it after-the-fact is not.
You may wish to refer to the AFM (musician's union) rates for recording sessions, etc.
