Hi Unders! Does your discount code still work? When I try it nothing seems to happen
I love a straightforward to the point tutorial
I'm glad. I try to be concise, But im not perfect. YET.
Hey we have distributed our music video on distrokid on June 12 but still don't recieve any earning and reports can you please tell me when does distrokid provide us earnings and reports please help
@@Manddychaliyaa most stores are 90 days from the end of the first vaild month. So July, August, September in your case.
@@Unders yes we have 14 million views on UA-cam vevo video but didn't receive any earnings report yet
Thanks for the break down Bruthaman! Much respect and blessings 🤙🏼
🙏
Thanks for a great Vid! What do you select when releasing 1 single/track which contains a radio edit and extended mix? Thanks
In digital anything beyond 1 song isn't a single. So technically its 2 tracks, Then in the naming conventions you will need to add select "add version info"
Hey I do like gospel rap do they have sections for that as well ?
it would go under Gospel i guess. Im unsure if there is then a sub genre for that niche.
What if im using a youtube beat i have bought?
I don’t get the question, if you bought it what does it matter?
How do I make the youtube music videos say "provided to youtube by "Label Name" instead of "provided to youtube by distrokid"?
Its probably because custom label releases are on the musician plus plan. Ive never noticed it personally.
I don't need to create accounts Separately on spotify, Apple, tiktok etc.. Distrokid will create accounts for me?
Things like TikTok no. Spotify, Apple Music sure. Not social accounts but artist ones.
So do you need to register to PRS as well or not?
Distribution royalties and performance royalties are different things. Along with mechanical right. PRS & MCPS websites are what to read. Because the answer will depend on what you’re doing.
@@Unders thank you, I’ve tried but nothing is clear online, as a producer who only makes the beat, I understand the artists side deals with payouts etc.. but then if I want to release a track under my name and only share it on digital platforms, do you know what I mean 😅
@@iamSEARY Streaming Royalties are like small payments to artists when you listen to their songs on platforms like Spotify.
Performance Royalties are earned when songs are played in public, and they reward the songwriters and composers.
Mechanical Royalties are paid to songwriters and composers when their music is reproduced or "mechanically" copied. This includes when their music is sold as physical copies (like CDs or vinyl) or when it is downloaded or streamed digitally. These royalties compensate the creators for the right to reproduce their musical compositions.
So maybe you don’t need PRS, but if you’re producing and a track goes on radio etc maybe you want to retain a % of that 🤷♂️
My best earning track ever flopped on streaming. But was using in a gym chain as part of their sessions for like 18 months. They had to have a PRS license and report music played 👍
I’ve never again earned as well as that track being played 4X a day in 60 gyms across the UK.
Hi, helpful video , thank You. I read a lot about distrokid and about not linking yt channel to it so my question is: If I uploaded a song to yt separetly and then I want to upload it to spotify etc. do I have to mark the " preavosuly realased"?
Nah. Be fine. As it’s not a release with an ISRC and history to connect to.
An yeah for now avoid the YT connection. Mines been messed up since 2020 an YT literally are doing nothing about it.
@@Unders Thanks for that information,
I really needed this.
@@psyhoe_beats 🤜🤛
Thanks for this tutorial. Would you answer one question for me? If I don't choose Distrokid to publish on UA-cam for me, am I free to do it myself? Or do I relinquish my rights of self-publishing just by signing up?
Nah. You can totally upload yourself. You just won’t have a separate “music channel” mine is honestly useless. All my traffic is here.
@@Unders Thank you 😀
What about releasing both a atmos file and stereo file. How does that all work
Like this - support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403029574675-Does-DistroKid-Support-Dolby-Atmos-
Im not a fan of that pricing personally.
Does distrokid release compete with putting your tracks on bandcamp? If you have a song on spotify before its distributed does that count as previous release? Thanks for vid
Bandcamp is a totally separate thing. If you want your music easily accessible the DistroKid gets it on the major platforms. If it’s on Spotify then yes it’s been released.
heyy, can u help me? what is better beatstars distribute or distrokid? or soundcloud pro maybe? ?
I use DistroKid an have since 2015. Beatstars looks to be pretty much the same and reputable (I had a beatstars pro account from 2015 -17) Soundcloud looks terrible value.
Heres a distrokid discount if you go that route - distrokid.com/vip/unders
How much are the fees for Distrokid?

Will take you to the features an tiers page. Personally I think musician plus is the best option as it streamlines a few things. But the basic will let you get your music everywhere exactly the same
What if I accidentally put the release date to the same day I was uploading it?
What do you think..
@@Unders it’s gon release whenever the stores accept it
Nailed it.
