INCOMPLETE TRACKS. 1. Where self-contained groups appear on a program, phonograph recordings which they have made (including but not limited to incomplete tracks of such recordings) may be used by them without restriction or additional payment beyond the rates for the television broadcast itself.
2. Where incomplete tracks are used in situations not involving self-contained groups, the following payments will be required:
a. to the recording and music preparation musicians who made the original recording, the air rate plus minimum guaranteed rehearsal;
b. to the “in-studio” orchestra, an additional two (2) hours’ rehearsal pay for the first track used and one (1) additional hour for each additional track; provided, however, that the additional rehearsal pay obligation shall not apply in circumstances where the unique musical sounds produced by a group cannot effectively be reproduced by the “in-studio” orchestra.
3. Where a self-contained group uses a track which contains Musicians other than the group itself, payments in accordance with Subparagraph (2) shall be made except that the group itself shall be treated under Subparagraph (1).
INCOMPLETE TRACKS. An “incomplete track” is a previously recorded sound recording without the vocals utilized on a television performance such that the artist can sing to the backing track (or, a live band in conjunction with the backing track). This may also be referred to as “live to track.” If a self-contained group (i.e., a band that has not hired any additional musicians to perform with them) performs to their own sound recordings, no further payment is required beyond the rates for the television broadcast itself. If incomplete tracks are utilized in situations not involving a self-contained group, then payments are required. The Musicians whose performances are embodied on the track (including music preparation) must be paid minimum call for the program on which the track is used. In addition, the Musicians who are on site shall be paid an additional two (2) hours of rehearsal for the first incomplete track used and one (1) additional hour for each additional track. These payments to the on-site Musicians are not required if the track is used due to a unique musical sound that cannot be reproduced live in studio. If a self-contained group performs to an incomplete track that utilizes Musicians who are not in the group, no payments are required to the group, but the Musicians on the track shall still receive minimum call for the program, as in the paragraph above.
INCOMPLETE TRACKS. 1. Where self-contained groups appear on a program, incomplete tracks of phonograph recordings which they have made may be used by them without restriction or additional payment beyond the rates for the television broadcast itself. Incomplete tracks may not otherwise be used without the prior consent of the President's Office of the American Federation of Musicians.
2. Where such permission is given to use incomplete tracks in situations not involving self-contained groups the following payments will be required:
a. to the recording and music preparation musicians who made the original record, the air rate plus minimum guaranteed rehearsal;
b. to the "in studio" orchestras, an additional two (2) hours rehearsal pay for the first track used and one additional hour for each additional track.
3. Where a self-contained group uses a track which contains musicians other than the group itself, payments in accordance with subparagraph 2. shall be made except that the group itself shall be treated under subparagraph 1.
