The room is quiet, the monitors are turned off, and the track is officially done. It took a mountain of chaotic creative energy to get the master to sound this clean. But the moment a record goes out into the world, the art has to rely on the administration.

You wouldn't let a client walk away from a real estate closing without the deed and title. In the music business, a split sheet serves as that exact proof of ownership for their intellectual property. Normalizing these conversations with your artists protects their long term catalog from messy, retrospective disputes.
