You could borrow that money from a bank, pay it back over two years, and still come out ahead--owning your own masters with no strings attached. Of course, musicians who are unable to sucessfully borrow even $7000 will continue to be shark food.

If you can tell me how to point bands who are in their early 20's in the direction of people that will lend them $7,000 on a 2 year pay back deal for a recording, I would be very gratefull!. Who are these people?
If the band get a major lable record deal & publishing deal and traded 20% publishing & 3 points on 3 of their tunes.... 1) what makes them shark food? 2) Where is the HUGE rip off?
I don't think any of you against this idea will be able to explain fully. I predict you will only be able to foam at the mouth and ramble about it "stinking" (a big record deal & big publishing deal?) but not really answer my question - give it a go
Many bands need a good recording to get the music industry behind them. That therefore can have a high value.
How high?
It's up to each band..
Realistically we find few bands we belive in enough to offer this too. And most turn it down, which we respectfully regard as 'fair enough'.
BTW in my deals I give the band the masters. I have earn from a percentage of them, but the bands own them.
