WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT THE BIG DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES LIKE TUNECORE, CDBABY, & SONGTRUST? Let me know so I can address these questions in my next video! :)
A break down of how cd baby, tooncore, distrokid etc all differ! This video was very helpful in simplifying the terminology in the industry. Thank you!
@@johnnytsunami7150 I've actually been thinking about doing a video like this for a while now, but I feel like there's already many out there talking about this! Have you watched any of the other videos? Were there things missing that you wanted to know?
Great videos!!! Thank you 😊 🙌🏾 I’m thinking of leaving cdbaby but I don’t want to lose all the views and comments from the UA-cam videos they put of mine. Can I just put my new music on tunecore or distrokid (depending on which one I end up choosing if I can)
Tynia Coats I guess what I’m saying is can I use both cd baby and another distributor at the same time for different songs/albums. I hope hat made sense 😬
Some clarity needs to be said in regards to this video. When we are talking about a "producer", we are NOT talking about someone who just "records the song / instrumental". In the context that NOT being said in the video, a producer has to have SOME of the creative involvement such as adding a melody line or extra bass line for example using the digital audio workstation (DAW) software... There are many songwriters who also act on their own as producers. Many producers are simply working in a recording engineer role in a recording studio. They record the song or instrumental as intended by the songwriter. Adding reverb, setting volume levels and mixing down tracks as normally done during recording of the song or instrumental, and as such doing that alone DOES NOT give a producer rights to royalties. This video implies that, and that is the wrong information to be disseminating to other new folks out here.
Tynia you are the TRUTH! I've watched almost all your vids(2 left) and believe me when I say I have watched MANY ppl with content similar to yours. In comparison...THERE IS NO COMPARISON! I am BLOWN AWAY even as I type this at the content and the questions I've had but never had answered, you answered them! Dam T...I'm glad I found your channel frfr I appreciate you! I'm a PROUD subscriber so keep it going! #TCGanG #Motivation #Inspiration #MusicMakersLoveHer #TuneIn
OMG you left another amazing comment!? Thank you! I really am so happy that you are getting so much from my videos!! I hope I continue to make you a proud subscriber & of course I hope I help make you more $$ from your music! :)
Thank you for acknowledging how producers who sells a beat to someone should still receive royalties. People really buys beats online and don’t pay royalties back to the producers
Unfortunatley according to the Copyright Act that is not the case, Every beatmaker or person that makes a beat is not a producer and every producer does not make beats. Copyright is a combination of lyrics and melody. Drum patterns and loops are not copyrightable. Most beatmakers are not actively involved in the production of the song.compilation. The ones that are involved are mainly producers thus a percentage in the royalties. That is why a actual song is valuable and when its in a fixed form two copyrights exist albeit limitations for the sound recording in some instances. This is not a knock against anyone making beats as most havent went far enough to learn that lesson.
@ you stating I’m wrong doesn’t make you correct. Before you comment back you should state the purpose of the A.M.P. ACT. I’d provide actual case law if you would be honest enough to send a donation. Otherwise you’re more than welcome to substantiate your “claim”
TYNIIIIIA - you are my hero sistah - i really needed this breakdown i'm w BMI and the 100% 200% was so confusing to me andNOW I KNOW its bcz of BMI rules its 2000% thank you soooo much for this - i'm fiinally getting to really understand this stuff and ive been doing it for 20 years!
This is the second video I've watched, and I really like your content. It certainly gives me a greater understanding of what I'm getting myself into. Thanks for sharing
Greetings from Canada! Thank you Tynia, you have enlightened me with all your information. After watching a few of your videos, you have answered so many questions I had, as a songwriter/producer and where to go from here. I am with Socan, here in Canada but needed an American company. BMI sounds like a good company!
Soundexchange has been giving me the run around and requesting I register now for a 2nd time as if the 1st time wasn't already time consuming enough to begin with while the rude staff I speak with on a regular basis always end up robotically repeating the same information over and over again like broken records (as if I hadn't heard them the first ten thousand times) with them being unable and unwilling to help me whatsoever. I am both the rights owner 100% and the artist 100% in all my songs with all my songs registered with the U.S. Copyright Office which go as far back as the 80's but apparently discrimination runs deeper in the State of Washington and throughout the south with Soundexchange as the poster child for it and all the unneccessary evil that dates back to the 1800's which use to come in the color black which today all comes down to the color brown with Soundexchange's inability and unwillingness to actually help songwriters/artists like myself to get registered just because of the color of our skin. So much for equal rights and opportunities in the year 2021 and beyond fellas!
I'm impressed..euphoric delivery! (Super Important) Just 1 ? - Where Ya Goin So Fast? You Could Get It All If You Walk Down That HILL!! I KNOW..and I Love Music..
OMG Tynia thank you so so much! :) I literally was soooo confused as to whether I needed to create a publishing company or not but you seriously explained this so well so I really appreciate you!
This video is so valuable to those who needs to know how they are to monetize with their music! I speak to countless writers out there who kept wondering why they never got paid for their music that has been played in various mediums, well Thanks to you they do now!
What's Credible about your Content is that You've worked for a PRO and speaking from that standpoint compared to others who are just like us (Customers)
Wow the universe!!? I'm putting that on a mug or t-shirt then haha just kidding. That means so much to me though that the information is resonating with you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge My question is what is the percentage of Royalties if The Artist and producer used royalty free loops to produce their music ?
I would love to see a breakdown of the CDBaby-type publisher/administrators. Do they get half the royalties? Also, since PRO's are for mostly radio, what are the split arrangements for mechanical royalties like streaming services or CD sales?
Great video full of info. I'm gonna keep watching because I'm new to songwriting credits and royalties. I recently found a beat and wrote a verse for a friend and a few of my friends really liked it. They keep suggesting that I should get paid for it but I'm just so lost as to how. I have no knowledge or connects when it comes to songwriting because this is my first time ever considering publishing my work. My question is if I'm not affiliated with ASCAP or BMI how can I make a standard agreement with another artist and make sure I get royalties and credit without getting scammed or played???
Thank you for this clear-cut video! There's a lot of resources out there but many of them aren't able to simplify and break it down as you do. Appreciate it! Subscribed with notifications :)
Thank you for clearing all of this up for me as far as writers, publishers , ect...You're the first that have explained it this good to me....I always like watching your channel
OMG I'm so grateful for you! So glad I found you, I'm beginning my professional music career and your videos are the most informative. And I love hearing it from someone who looks like me (: Thanks for the amazing info!
Hi I am a guitarist. I have 3 questions: 1.) In fairness, should I be to a percentage if I play on a song and get paid? 2.) And can I add those songs I’ve played on , to my BMI catalogue? 3.)If so how do I add those songs ?

Finally, someone who explains it concisely and briefly.
so my video didn't make you go "what? huh?" lol, thank you!
@@tyniacoats Lol, love the play on words! 😆 I said, What huh, someone's breaking down the music industry accurately? I better be listening!
💣
Honestly, this video was extremely helpful, if it wasn’t for her, i’d still be lost

Finally Somebody Broke This Down Where I Could Understand, Took Over Ten Years To Really Get This...
Finally a clear into the point breakdown on how the writers versus publishers share works. Thank you
This was very helpful, thanks
So the best thing you can do as a musician: start your own publishing company (pro tip from Steve Vai)!
Which he got from Zappa
That's not as easy as you think buddy😅
😊She so straight forward, To the point, and honest! That type of attitude will make you a super real music expert!

You had nicely unpacked how a producer comes in as a co-creator to a song, thank you once again you shined on this subject.
Yesss, producers play a major role, yet a lot of people try to give them the short end of the stick.
@@tyniacoats Yes indeed
@@tyniacoats mmm, it is a word with many meanings today though, so I think that's where some of the confusion often stems from for many.. 😅
Another great informative video! Thank you so much, Goddess!

Hi I am a guitarist. I have 3 questions:
1.) In fairness, should I be to a percentage if I play on a song and get paid?
2.) And can I add those songs I’ve played on , to my BMI catalogue?
3.)If so how do I add those songs ?
