Thank you so much sista!!! You truly made it plan and simple. I also found out the difference between trackouts vs stems. The exclusive deal I am interested in have trackouts which is better because now I have to freedom to arrangement to my liking.

Maam, this is an amazing video presentation for beat leasing - beautifully simplified!
I am a bedroom producer planning to go professional for songwriting. I have a question regarding the composer (instrumental), and a recording artist (rapper)
1. Should the composer register all of his instrumental works to a collection society first before leasing it?
2. Once it is registered, would it be perfectly fine to issue these beat leasing licenses from the composer himself rather than from collection society itself?
Thank you so much. Congratulations on your new journey. My advice to you would be to learn all you can and understand how all of the elements work. I have a number of videos on my channel to help you do that.
1. Yes
2. Collection societies do not lease beats. If you’re going to create instrumentals and lease them, you will be responsible for that.
WOW!!---WOW!!!----WOW!!!!!!
It’s always great to learn of you! I actually was thinking about you yesterday saying, hmm when will she upload a new video. Lol thank you....also, how can I invite you to my live stream?

@@TheMusicBusinessMadeEasy Hi, did you see my email?
Dean Reynolds Media I just saw it. Will contact you soon!
I apologize if you have addressed this in prior videos, but I was looking at a beat leasing licensee/producer agreement and it
had the "Controlled Compositions" clause in it. Is this different from the usual controlled composition clauses record labels
put in an artists' contract so they can pay less royalties or is this something different? Thank you for any info in advance.
No difference

@@TheMusicBusinessMadeEasy Thank you
@@mazemuusicproducer you’re welcome!
I noticed in leasing agreement of a beat purchased, in addition to rightfully given credit, the agreement stipulates 50% composition to the producer and the producer’s publishing company, they too have asked for 25% royalty from SoundExchange (when registering recording) with a Producer Royalty rate of 50% of revenue sales - is this typical? Specifically, and additional SoundExchange and Producer Royalty?
As always, great viable information, Mariea!
When it comes to SoundExchange, the Artist would have to do a "Letter of Direction" specifying to what was AGREED to in the agreement. Always remember that anything is negotiable. So if you signed that agreement without trying to negotiate, then it stands as is. If a producer has made it known when producing that they own the masters or half of the masters, then yes, they are entitled to 50% if that agreement is signed. There are basic rules of understanding, however, these can be tweaked to what is desired. If you agree to it, then it stands. This is why it's important to understand how all of the industry work, so that you can better negotiate favorable terms.

@@TheMusicBusinessMadeEasy Thank you very much-I though the Producer Royal was rather high , 50% of the net profits.

I came across a clause that stated "The Licensor is and shall remain the sole owner and holder of all rights, title, and interest in the Master
Recording. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee does not exclusively own the Master Recording or the sound recording
rights. Licensee has been licensed the right to use the Master Recording based on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement."
This means that he would own the master recording right? I've read that it's unusual for a producer to have ownership in the master recording, and that it's a red flag/ sign of greed. If i purchase the exclusive license, shouldn't I retain sole ownership of the master recording?
Yes… he owns the master
Not unusual… if the producer’s contract states the ownership, and someone signs it, that’s what it is. Not greed… negotiation
If you purchase a buyout which states that all rights are yours then you would own it.
Watch my ideo on “Who Owns the Master Recording”

I have a ? About copyright © so I have a 14 track album yet the copyright dot gov site only lets me copyright ten songs per form. Must I pay 65 for 10 songs. Then pay 65 for the additional four. Please help I’m so confused 😐
If you are going to release those 14 songs on the same day on an album, if all of those songs are written by the same person you can register the songs as you have described; otherwise you’ll have to register them separately. musicbusinessmadeeasy.com/coaching
@@TheMusicBusinessMadeEasy okay yes I wrote them all. The government site does not give refunds so I wasted 60 bucks my first attempt I’ll just do 10 then a form with 4 hope it goes smooth lol 😂
One thing I always been wondering when buying an exclusive license. I read that that license owns 50% publishing and the other person owns 50% publishing. From learning there is two parts, the writer share and the publisher share. So does that mean the one who makes the beats owns half of the publishing, so it will be 25/25 to make 50 as ASCAP. so the artist owns the writer share and splits the publishing. so basically the artist owns 75% and the beat maker owns 25%. that equals up to 100% Artist owns 50% writer share and splits publishing making it 25%? Am I right? haha
Lil Ed you both own the song 50% each = 100%. Breakdown: Writers 25% each (50%) Publishing 25% each (50%) total: 100%. Watch my video on “Songwriting and Music Publishing Percentages”
The Music Business Made Easy I watched your video before and watched it just now again. But on some license I read before the ones that aren’t exclusive license it basically says the beat maker owns 50% writer share and 100% publishing and some I see they just own 50% writer share and no publishing or they own 50% writer and 50% publishing. But for exclusive license I see that it’s only 50% publishing. from reading it like that, wouldn’t that mean they only own 50% publishing but not the writer share since it’s writer share & publishing share. If they owe half of everything wouldn’t that not be fair? I seen this kind of topic a lot.
Lil Ed ok now I understand what you are asking. Literally, it depends on how that ownership clause is written. Fair or not, or whether they understood the terms clearly themselves, if that’s what’s written and people agree to it, then that’s what it is. So to answer your question, the answer is yes. If it reads that they own 50% of publishing, that’s what they own and no writers share. Also, no it’s not unfair to own half because they did create the best/music that the Artist wrote to, so that entitles them to own half of the song (writer/publisher). If it’s written differently than that, then that’s what they chose.
Don’t for a second think you ain’t helping careers
Awwww how very kind of you! Thank you so much!
@@TheMusicBusinessMadeEasy thank you
