Using “Prod. By” Current Sound or DJ Tom Watson in the track title is strictly reserved for select clients that I produce for in person at Current Sound in Los Angeles and you need a “rights to use name” clause in a contract with me to use the term “Prod. By”. All beats purchased/leased on the beat store must use the term “Beat by Current Sound” in the track title instead.  This is because I offer full music production and reocrding services where I direct the artists’ performance, record, mix and master in addition to creating the beat. Music production is way more than just creating a beat and just because other beatmakers want to devalue the term Music Producer and use the name incorrectly does not mean I can as it devalues the songs that I actually produce. Imagine if DJ Khalid, DJ Mustard, Timerland, Dr Dre all started leasing beats and letting everyone use “Prod. By” their name when they didn’t actually produce the song, they just made the beat. That would drastically reduce their brand image as it would make it look like anyone could be produced by them and it would also devalue their skillset if poorly mixed and produced songs made it onto the market with their names attached to them.  It is the same for me since I can actually produce, mix and I don’t just make beats.  The reason many beat-makers want you to use “Prod. By” is because they can’t mix, they don’t have a recording studio studio, they are not producing and directing artists in their studio and they don’t even understand the traditional role and definition of the word music producer. I have written two high ranking articles on Google about this topic. The Word “Music Producer” has Lost All Meaning and The Difference Between a Beat-maker and a Music Producer. So to get the “Prod. By” tag, you need both to have me oversee the entire song creation process from start to finish and then you also need my permission. All songs made from beats purchase on the beat store must write “Beat by Current Sound” in the track title unless you have written consent from myself stating otherwise.
