I share sound recording copyrights with another musician. We disagree on the final mixes, as we are each focused on different markets, and so we plan to do our own individual versions of the mixes/CD, each with different covers. We will soon be presenting these CDs to powerful music industry agents with whom we've been meeting. What are our obligations as far as placing proper performance, co-production, and engineering credits on the CD covers---I believe he doesn't want to put my credits on his version of the CD. Also, I own the studio exclusively (the entire project was done in this studio), and I want the studio credits on all CD covers (we have had a verbal understanding since the beginning of the project that the credits were one form of payback for me, as he has no means to pay for studio time, was given that free of charge, and has made no financial investment in this project at all). Is this mandatory under copyright law?
