I wonder how performance royalties plays into streaming. Like when a barbershop plays Spotify all day. A lot of people are hearing it but it may only count as one stream?
Great information! Thank you for continuing to provide us all, regardless of what ones ranking/position within the industry may be - information that we all can learn and grow from. Greatly appreciated!
So can you as a record label buy all out rights from a producer that make a beat for you? How does that work. Thanks for your awesome videos and knowledge bro.
You would make them an in house producer. Your contract agreement will determine what you're owed. If you agree with the producer to give up some royalties then that's where your money comes in.
Artist can get paid from UA-cam through various platforms. UA-cam allows you to monetize your own channel. Then you can collect from other videos that may use ur music through various means: distribution platforms(like distrokid), publishing admins (like Songtrust), or companies that specialize in collection from youtube like audium. The better question is: Do you want to fine, cease and desist, force ads, etc. to generate revenue from your supporters
do you mind making a video showing on the split sheet where the writer and the producer information is put? On the form there are other things on there that are a bit confusing. I'd really just like you to go over the split sheet showing who writes what where and why.
How you doing sir love just found your channel because I'm a artist learning the business. I have knowledge but need more so I'm tuning into you and brandman Sean for content thanks
my bad it wasn't 48 laws of power it was this physiology book about reading and mirroring people but great video watched all of em 5or6 times since march of 2019
lol u smiled in 7:39 48 laws of power i know even though its dirt cheap and I'm referring your page to all my music friends your body language said it all i went on your website and that smirk gave it away : "you go on www.phasevi.com" lol then i went and you were charging lmao no problem with it it was just funny and thought id share my laughter even though others might not think that's funny i do anyways great content also your website/platform has great content as well so i respect it and your prices are conservative if it wasn't i would've been tried you in a comment but thumbs up to all your videos you know wtf your talking about #bless
By far the best explanation of these topics that I've seen on YT. Question: If a cd with one of my songs in it it's being sold at Walmart, and they have 10 CDs on the floor does that mean that I get paid my share of those 10 CDs?. Because, I am assuming that the record label sold those CDs to Walmart for them to make a profit. Am I correct? Thank you for your time.
Vidal Valle thanks for the support! Hmmm ok - so the short answer is yes. But it's tricky. If you are the writer than you are owed 9.1 cents per sale. CD's are sold wholesale so that's about 91 cents if they only have 10 in stock. However that 91 cents is for the writers to split. So yo split that with the producers and other writers per your split sheet. Additionally- if you are the artist then you also receive an artist royalty which is likely 8%-20% pending your deal. All of this also depends on whether or not you own your rights in the first place. But 10CDs is small for a bulk order so you are likely owed more.
question!.... Ok by saying that the producer owns 50% percent of the record... Does that mean they own 50% of the cd sales as well? Are they entitled to any money from cd sales or is that just for the artist???
Can a song be registered twice? and if so , should i include just what i did ? or include the other publisher/writers. what if they don't do the same for me ?
John Dave a song can be registered twice. It's common that this happens more than twice. It won't matter if the other publishers register you or not. Though it would help the PRO out a lot. From what I understand; publishers consolidate this information some how and are able to match your entry with mirrored entries. However each PRO is different will have different methods to deal with this. I always register everyone involved and keep the splits on file. I haven't had any problems from multiple registrations. I have been contacted regarding the matter, when there is a variance from one submission to another. Generally PRO's will hold all the money until all publishers and composers come to an agreement and correct their portion to match. No one wants their money help, especially since royalty pay periods are so spread out. So generally situations get cleared up quick.
Thank you so much. couple more questions. Lets say i make an instrumental and i register it. Then i let someone write to the instrumental. can i/should i register both separately ? also , what if i don't agree to having another publisher besides myself, am i able to make that call?
John Dave so this is a rather complex situation. So yes you can register two versions of that instrumental one with vocals one without the vocals. In this case the instrumental would be a song of its own once you add the vocals to the record it is now a new song. So if you released an instrumental disk or album or EP on a streaming platform for example, then you would receive separate royalties off of that instrumental. You would have to treat both songs a separate songs and track them the same they have to have different ISRC codes and all of the other tracking systems. As far as the second thought. You can keep all of the publishing for the instrumental song if you were the only person that created it or you negotiated or purchased the publishing from all the other people that contributed to the composition of that track. However you cannot legally take the publishing from everyone else involved unless they've agreed in writing and typically there has to be some payment for that ownership exchange.
I don’t do this but I heard this help get you money on UA-cam so I’m help any way I can bless the black that teaching others how to fish thank you sir my men want me to manage them an you are helping me
So... I use CD baby. The producer I got the exclusive for let me keep 100% of Publishing rights. So I don't have to worry about anything right? No split sheet?
ロボット失恋 that's tricky. You need that documented. Common law copyright will still give him ownership of his half of the copyright and thus his half of the publishing. A split sheet would help notate that he is indeed giving you ownership. Or a simple custom MOU. And you would need to copyright the record as the only rights owner. CD Baby may have some tools to help so this. Either way it's an easy fix. You need their signature on any legal document that specifies what you agreed to WOM.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a question. I am registered with ASCAP as a writer and publisher. In 2012 the song was signed with the label. The label owes master track rights but never assigned ISRC code to the song. Is it possible for ASCAP or SoundExchange to survey for performance/digital royalties? The label's response is that at that time they didn't have a publisher. Also I couldn't license the track myself at that time, since the label owes all the licenses and rights. Where do I stand on that? Thank you very much!
Ok. This is interesting. Couple thoughts. The record will be hard to track without ISRC codes. You likely don't have the right to assign ISRC codes if you don't own the master track. Now you could submit as a publisher and try to acquire the royalties. Not sure what they may have done to prevent that. However there is a issue here. How can they own the license the record without being the publisher? Their are multiple licenses involved in a record. They may have the master license but they need the need copyright ownership to secure the others. This is a little messy. It would likely take some work to clear it up and on the end you may be able to retain a portion of the record. What are you looking to do with the record?
I know UA-cam has youtube content ID to protect people from re uploading and collecting royalties. is there a cheap or free service that does the same for spotify and apple music? to stop people form re uploading and selling my music? that is what I am worried about.
Muayed Alsherif many people believe that the producer is the publisher and the songwriter is the songwriter. When the truth is that both the producer and the songwriter are publishers and songwriters. The historical reference explains why. Producers had to physically write their music on sheet music Back when this system of payment was invented.
Fender Frank hey it really depends on the scenario. Each PRO calculates it differently. Normally the measurement will include some sort of metric(s) for the volume of impressions l, length of the usage of the record and such. So a live performance for a karaoke bar or a life performance for a small concert versus a large concert or a televised performance will all pay out differently.
Victoria Crump hey it would depend on the agreement. Most producers, that sell their beats online,do not give up their publishing. An exclusive agreement typically gives you the right to use the beat and sell the song without limitations. However the producer will still own their publishing on the record.
Exclusive and I collect royalties. Now, how do I add him or should I add him when registering the song. Most of these beat makers business side is crazy. I bought the track exclusive and when I asked him for his information he just gave his email and name and sent stems tracked out. He produced track Me and one other artist and I do have split sheets filled out. Do I add him on ascap registration.
Victoria Crump I would to avoid any future conflicts. The producer has a lot of power in the publishing world. If he/she did the whole track themselves then they own 50% of the record. That's enough to get it snatched off of radio if the money comes back funny. However you are only responsible for yourself. It's good will to include all the players. In the end, a signed split sheet is the only legal proof unless the producer also registers the record with the same numbers
ok so add him under composer, me, and other artist for our lyrics and under writers me and other artist. I appreciate you patience and help. so under ascap put him as composer/writer, me, and other artist. so out of 100% 50 goes to him 35 me and 15 for remainder artist. I will send him a split sheet etc
i've checked it once again and i think i was referring to You talking "if you want to be succesful you got to....." it just felt strange. treat it like feedback friend i dont want to be rude. keep up good work
yeah there is you talking and you talking something with voice pitched down. cant focus on both at 1 time - im not native english speaker. and this hard paning from left to right feels strange
Puente Loops OK now it makes sense. So that portion is an introduction to the show itself. The music in the background belongs to one of the artist that I work with. They created an introduction theme song and chopped up some clips of previous speeches that I have done and made a collage of the speeches at the end of the song. This portion does not necessarily make sense in this order. It was created to showcase some core values that I present through these videos. I did feel like the intro was too long for the beginning of the video so my newer videos have a shorter introduction. However I do keep that song at the end because I like the message. Lol I can completely see how this would be hard to understand if English is not your primary language. No worries. Thanks for the support.
antione bellamy wow 3rd introduced content in a row 🤦🏾♂️ lol. Hey we can't go back in and fix it. It's posted. Butler fixed it in the newer videos. Thanks for watching bro.

Do you recommend songtrust or open your own publishing company and collect directly?
You know we are going to be evaluating them soon. I'll make sure to post about it then.

YOU ARE THE MANNNN BRO
Could you make a video on how to start your OWN publishing company and pros and cons
Yes. There is one one the site and more actually coming on the Ask Sirr Love Series
question!.... Ok by saying that the producer owns 50% percent of the record... Does that mean they own 50% of the cd sales as well? Are they entitled to any money from cd sales or is that just for the artist???
Way more complicated answer. May be best for you to check out the infopack series on the site for this break down

NP! I wish all the love toward your new project.
I though any publishing/royalties are based on a 200% scale?
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a question. I am registered with ASCAP as a writer and publisher. In 2012 the song was signed with the label. The label owes master track rights but never assigned ISRC code to the song. Is it possible for ASCAP or SoundExchange to survey for performance/digital royalties?

It would likely take some work to clear it up and on the end you may be able to retain a portion of the record.
What are you looking to do with the record?
For the split sheet would I need to go through a notarization process of any sort?
No
So you don't have the Be a publisher to get a PROs you you can be just a songwriter?
Kay Money correct. most PRO's view the writer as the publisher unless otherwise noted.
No you can just become a writing member after that you can become your own publishing company..
I know UA-cam has youtube content ID to protect people from re uploading and collecting royalties. is there a cheap or free service that does the same for spotify and apple music? to stop people form re uploading and selling my music? that is what I am worried about.
They have built in solutions that do so.
Great video!!!
Damm! very informative. I needed this.
so when split sheet is signed and all what do you do with it?? keep it somewhere pr do you send it somewhere??
Keep it on file. Best to keep it stored in the cloud. Use google drive or drop box
Great video
I dont need 5 producers on a record that shyt gone broken up
Brother can ask you question?
Thank u! ✨✨🌟✨🌟✨✨🌟
I got confused from 3:23 to 3:53. could you please explain it to me?
Muayed Alsherif many people believe that the producer is the publisher and the songwriter is the songwriter. When the truth is that both the producer and the songwriter are publishers and songwriters. The historical reference explains why. Producers had to physically write their music on sheet music Back when this system of payment was invented.
so you could make money on performance royalties as well as mechanical from just one song?
Yessir
Thank you
Performance royalties....How does that affect "live" performances?
Thanks for all of the prime info you give..... I sub'd.
Fender Frank hey it really depends on the scenario. Each PRO calculates it differently. Normally the measurement will include some sort of metric(s) for the volume of impressions l, length of the usage of the record and such. So a live performance for a karaoke bar or a life performance for a small concert versus a large concert or a televised performance will all pay out differently.
I have a question a serious question to ask do you have a email address or some way I can contact you
so what happens if same im the producer but the song writer/singer (s) aren't registered with a PRO or publisher/ or either or??
You can still add them as a performer
anniversary episode😍😍
That would make sense. hmmmm noted
Does the Writer get they share of UA-cam Revenue?
Great question. If the channel or video is monetized then yes the writer should recieve royalties from youtube.
thank you so much sir!
No problem. Thanks for supporting.
good info!
