Record labels
From the WaveFern Wiki
Labels message you with an offer when your monthly listeners, total streams and reputation all reach their thresholds. Signing pays an advance up front; from then on the label keeps a cut of your streaming income every night.[1]

Rules
- Offers start on day 5, once you have released a song. Each day there is a 20% chance one eligible label writes; the same label waits 20 days before asking again.
- Only one offer is open at a time.
- Leaving a label costs 30% of the advance you got, and no label writes for 14 days afterwards.
Label HQLabel HQ is coming soon. It is planned as the home for everything about being signed to a label. Offers, advances and cuts already work through Messages.
Tips
- The first labels to call are the weakest deals. Waiting for a better label can pay off.
- A label takes its cut every single night, so a big advance is not always the better deal over time.
- Keep your reputation up: the best labels will not look at you without it.
