Are you afraid that you'll register your music incorrectly and lose your music royalties? In this video I cover the 8 Mistakes to Avoid When Registering a Song on BMI, ASCAP & Copyright and we even touch on music distributors at the end of the video. Everything in this video works for ASCAP, BMI, and most performing rights organizations (PRO).
Here's the next video you should watch after this: How to choose the BEST music distributor

Hi great video 💯. I'm going to copyright 10 songs. Just wondering how long I should wait before releasing my album through TuneCore? I'd like to register with ASCAP but with my budget I'd have to do that at a later time. I'm the author of the sound recording and composition & lyrics, etc Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

I sent a message to ASCAP a couple weeks ago and I still haven't received a response. Perhaps you can provide an answer. I want to publish a work that I didn't write, but I don't know how to get a hold of the copyright owner. I know his name and where he lived over 20 years ago. I found a couple of email addresses, but they're no good. So I mentioned all this in my message to ASCAP and, since this guy was (is?) a professional musician with publishing credits, I asked if they would contact him and tell him I want to publish one of his tunes. He's got to be a member of either ASCAP or BMI and I'm figuring even if he might be a member of BMI, ASCAP should still have a way to contact him.

I am CONVINCED that YOU are THE one and only "Go To" source for precisely the kind of information I NEED. That is just my opinion. I've seen something from pretty much EVERY KZfaq channel concerning music production and marketing in existence Plus some. Too Many perhaps.▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫ Although I've been a sub for roughly 1.5 - 2 yrs now, and have seen a few of your great videos, I am appalled at my self for NOT availing myself of more of them.▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫ I believe most people would understand what I'm saying, if they had some basic knowledge of my "story" about how & why I began to make- produce music just over 5 yrs ago, starting from Absolute ZEE ROW. Zero, in EVERY way you can think of. Short of Death. Seriously. ▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫ Today, upon reflecting on the Magnitude of my undertaking of this direction of my life, given what happened to change it, and what I had to work with, it is all but IMPOSSIBLE to believe, even harder to wrap most heads around including mine. I have to keep reminding myself to be VERY appreciative of my accomplishments so far. They are Very considerable. Almost a miracle.▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫ One of these days I would like to tell an Astonishing 100% True story about this, because IT wants and Need telling. I believe it might & Can help a LOT of people, especially young people who may be feeling overwhelmed by life, in these days and those coming. It could even save their lives, in these uncertain, ever changing and dangerous times. 🔥🌊🌀⚡▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫▫◽◻⬜⚪⬜◻◽▫ We are all in trouble. A FACT.

Great Video! Great Insight. As a longtime beatmaker and award winning the only thing I would add is I submitted 100 + beats to Sony TV for a TV Show and many were used, I did need to register those beats with BMI or ASCAP to get paid publishing that I still receive. Beatmakers don't need to publish their beats unless they will be used in this type of way as a song beat.

I don't have the beat maker's info. I am with ASCAP, and also own my publishing. 1. When registering my work, do I give myself 50% and the other writer 50%, then under publishing, give myself 100%? 2. Do I have to list the beatmaker since I don't have his info?

Great video and recommendations! Quick question... if I am registering some songs on BMI with a co-writer (we are dividing our songs equally for music & lyrics), should I put 100% for myself and 100% for my co-writer? Also we do not have a publisher, so this obviously still adds up to the 200%. I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly? Again, much appreciation for your insights and all the great videos!

Thanks for this. Very helpful. Two questions, please. First, I'm helping an artist register some of his back catalog, but some are from quite a long time ago and he knows only the release year and not the month and day. Can we just give an approximate month and day? Second, in the Artists and Recording section, when the form asks for "are then any artists?", would this be any one performing on the record, or is it only other artists who might share rights?

Thank you for this! I still have a question after watching this video & your video about registering as a publisher - if I am a BMI writer & I have my own publishing imprint via BMI - I'm confused about setting the right % if there are multiple composers involved. If I want the writer's splits to match the publishing royalties, does this mean my publishing company still collects 100% or I also split up that 100% to match the Writer's splits? This is hard to describe! Not sure if it's making sense...

Great video. What do you recommend for a composer who wants to make music to sell on his own website, and sell usage licenses? I should register the music in BMI (or equivalent), or I should not register it, since I am interested in whether it is ROYALTY FREE. On the other hand, should I register all of them in BMI and better license them to buyers so they can then monetize through a Content ID dispute on KZfaq? Sorry if it sounds confusing, I just don't know how to explain it.

Regarding your comment about how to register a 15-song album, it's worth noting that the Copyright Office looks at things differently, and you should mention this. The Copyright Office has a form you will fill out for a group of works, but it is limited to only 10 works. So, if you want to register a 15-song album with the US Copyright Office; you have to fill out TWO forms and then pay TWO submission payments. It is for this reason that all of my albums now contain 10 songs or fewer. I don't have a big copyright budget to deal with this. It can quickly add up if I want to have albums with more than 10 songs. Also, you mention only how BMI does things. I'm a member of ASCAP. It would have been nice to see from you how ASCAP handles things.

We are thoroughly confused with all the places to sign up and what they each do. You talk in #6 about putting 200% into a box on BMI's form. How is this different from what Tunecore Publishing Administration does? Are you saying that all they are doing is collecting that extra 100%? Or do they collect something else? On another video, you talk about Sound Exchange, too, which seems to be different from what Tunecore collects, too. We are signed up to release on Tunecore for streaming. We have copyrights (though with a slightly different name than what we registered with BMI). So, also have questions about how to add alias' to BMI after making initial application? Sorry, it's a lot, but that's why we are overwhelmed! Thanks for your help. The song writing and recording are the easy part! LOL.

Thanks for this. If the artist name I use is different than my legal name, which do I use when I sign up with BMI?

Thanks bro. I have a doubt. Some time ago I participated as a composer in a song, which was registered in Ascap. There they included the authors with their % in which they included me? But I am with BMI and it still does not appear in my catalog. What should I do in that case, since I have no collection record or anything. Thanks in advance. Sorry for the bad english

I'm registered to BMI, and I'm just starting to get into stock music licensing. Do songs submitted to stock libraries need to be registered with bmi first, or is it similar to selling beats since some sites have set rates?

Hey... can you make a video about all these organizations pay schedule. When and how often does BMI, Ascap, Songtrust, distrokid and Soundexchange pay royalties to their members? If I've taken care all my business and I'm posting my music on the streaming platforms for the first time... who will I get royalties payments from first and how long would that take?

Regarding #2 Music Registration. Can you speak about sample library used on GarageBand and can you address possible whitelisting on KZfaq concerning ineligibility. Depending on ones decision how would one answer #2 question when registering on BMI. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Can you register a not fully mastered song or does it have to be the final mastered version ?
