FREE Cheat Sheet for getting paid off your songs: sonix.audio/products/major-placement-cheat-sheet

Went on a shopping spree today, got FL Studio, Komplete 14 Standard, Diva, Analog Lab Pro, a couple other effect plugins and the Sonix Elements of Soul & RnB bundles! Can't wait to get started!

I did about 16 songs for an artist with Warner Brothers… I was 20 and just excited to have my first break. Signed away rights for 2 cents per record 😂 granted, the artist was taking care of me on the back end cause I was an in house producer, but MAN! Get your paperwork right fellas, nothing last forever and those songs have over 200M streams now. Great info brother!

I don't think that people actually appreciate how much work is being put into these videos and how good and tremendously helpful they are. Many producers don't know much about these things which are crucial for getting to your dream of becoming the absolute best producer and musician. KXVI, you're an absolute beast, keep it up! Lots of love from the whole community!!!

You don’t have to sign up with a label , you can be your own publisher

thank you so much for these infos bro

Amazing video! Saving it right away, big ups man it takes so much effort to gather around this kinda information, appreciate it man.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is the quintessential KXVI video that every producer and beatmaker MUST WATCH AND KEEP!!! Thank you for being so thorough, on point, and making it easy to understand and follow! It is greatly appreciated!

These are gems thanks Kxvi!

This is a gem bro 🔥🔥

Thank you so much for making this video Sir👍🙂

amazing video Kxvi, not going to lie if you can prepare a more in depth video it will be very useful especially for producers outside the US

thanks g great work

Great information! Thank you!

Super useful info. Thanks man.

Best video I’ve ever watched at this topic Thank you

this video was very helpful thank you Mr kxvi

Super helpful video man!

I finaly made the hardest lilbaby beats thnks to you bro

Damn, thankyou so much this video has been super super helpful! Though I had a few doubts, for the beats you make and the loops you send out for placements on email, how do you safeguard yourself? Do you register copyright on each of those beats and loops? Or do you register it after you discover somebody has stolen it?

Can you make a step by step explanation about how to register. From registration of a beat, royalties split when publishing the music with the artist. I mean all the processes from the studio to the stage?

Thank u for this very informative video.

Very well executed video , informative.

Till this day I still be confused sometimes, thank you 🙏🏾

Is it best for producers to register with SoundExchange as both a featured artists & rights owner ...or just a rights owner?

Perfect timing ⏱️

Wow Great vid man

That's wonderful! Pls stay in touch!

BANGER

Priceless information

🌊 GEMS

Great video!

I'm learning so much

NGL THAT'S WHAT I NEED FOR BROOOOOO

I'm an artist and after watching this video I'm going to start making my own beats!

this is gems!

I got a placement recently that was released before any terms and stuff. I'm currently on the first stage of the video, the label reached a few days ago. I haven't signed anything, but I already agreed on 50% pub. Should I wait a little more to register?

good video man i hope I need to come back to this one day

0:40 bien joué frérot ! 🇫🇷

Gem of a video

bro this video is a fucking blessing you made everything so clear and when I get my first big song ima be prepared

Amazinggggg

great info 😇

Give thanks 🙏🏿

With the W8 Ben form and invoice, is already taxed or you have to pay taxes in your country (outside u.s.)????

W video 🤙🏽

Need this in french

Great info

Hi, i i have a question. For instance, there's a beat that has been leased multiple times and been posted which automatically kills any breakthrough for other artists buying the beat lease. So, if one of the artists uses one your beats and blows without leasing it but keeps in touch with you. Is that stealing??

Thought that thumbnail was Martin Luther King Jr. next to a Spotify symbol.

Just gonna add to all the other similar comments - useful and great vid. 👍

You can be your own publisher

I produced Sleepy Hallow's "1999" but to this day my team is trying to get the money that we are owed

🔥 video

So if an independent artist buys a beat from a producer/beat maker , makes a song and distributes the song thru distrokid and the song is purchased from iTunes . After iTunes gets its cut , the producer/beatmaker will typically get 10-16 percent of the sale of the song from iTunes?

A lot of the time labels won’t hit you up or the artist is independent

What is the Order from start to finish if you are an artist that’s just woke up and wanted to put out music??…. Do u start with copyright, distribution, publishing royalties writing the song?? Should u copy right before u record the song ?? What’s the order from start to finish?

word up

So i just got a placement with a artist sign to Rostrum Records in the producer declaration they want my SSN

Can you do a video on the first things you should do for your first ever placement

how do you find out if someone used your beat or sample, without knowing?

THE PLUG

sheeeeeeeeeesh! 🤩

KXVI is goat

Please, Should we register our beats on sound exchange, PROs, and Beatstars publishing before getting a placement?

Please how about producers outside the USA somewhere like Africa ?

Most useful video you’ve done so far fam ! And we still got robbed 😂😂

Im talking to label myself

Im living in Austria(europe) and if an producer making beats and released it, its automatically licensed

4:14 its not clear on how to get label contact via email if your beat was used without owners permission.

Thanks KXVI great content as always! I just didnt get something. From The billion streams the $500.000 come from publishing royalties but you also have the 1 - 5% revenue from the master? Not a native speaker, hope you get what i mean.

Is this only applicable to us placement or do I have to register with bmi let’s say if I have a placement with a German or Japanese artist. Great video btw

🚀🚀🚀

Hypotecal: now what happens if someone like Kanye and drake "steal"/Sample you beat without any shout-out or pay cut. Do they bizilion lawyer they have will do anything to prevent you From getting pay or you do the same process?

Can beatstar give other continents like Africa same money as us??

oh lord

What if an artist buys a non-exclusive lease that grants me (the producer) 50% of the writer's share? Would I get the money from that even without making any contracts with the label?

💎💎💎

gameeeee

that's completely wrong, Spotify pays from $4,000 to $6,000 per million streams, and apple music $8,000 to $12,000

💯

🔥

You can be your own publisher and get a lawyer to look into the royalties by playlist, stream etc !!!!!!

i understood somethings but still hard to understand

thanks for the info! 🔥

THis is wild! What am im going to see and learn #mind explosion
