I'm currently producing a new artist. I'm taking raw guitar vocal demo's and producing full tracks with drums bass piano etc...

Is it possible to copyright my productions? i.e. the values that I instill onto the tracks, musical additions, licks, hooks etc.?

Thanks
Al

Nope; sadly you can't copyright musical ideas as I found to my cost with the Oooga Chagga on Hooked On A Feeling.

Er JK what are you talking about.
He is not talking about musical ideas but full on compositions.
Ask yourself Al if this was released as an instrumental who will
get the publishing?

Tell your singer you want 50% of the publishing or walk away from it.
This is how all the dance producers work and they have championed this
sort of co-write. If they don't want it walk away. You can always negotiate
your way into anything and it boils down to how much you are contributing
to the song.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. This is NOT how copyright works today
and anyone who says otherwise is usually old and back in their day they
didn't have the bottle to insist on a share in the publishing.

Thank you SO much C Nicol (not THE C Nicol I assume?).
