How does it work if you release a song with an artist (as a producer)? That’s where I am completely in the dark!

Deecap you are the f*****g man my bro, you're content is truly valued, so informative its crazy much love my bro!! Thanks for putting us on !

Man you're an amazing helper for the world music society, thanks.

Was hoping you'd post this...Decap coming through 🤜🏻🤛🏾

Thank you sir, more power on what ever you doing

Thankyou for always sharing a wealth of knowledge

This was dope. Thank you for doing this

Thank you Decap🙏❤️

I appreciate this content✊🏾

Am I missing something? This is titled "How to collect royalties as a producer" yet you and the other guy only talk about collecting royalties as an artist. What do you do as a producer, where you're not uploading music to streaming platforms, but artists are uploading music using your beats?

Great video bro, some real gems💎

Thanks bro you are a lifesaver

Really helpful! Cheers mate! 👊

Great video. I've unfortunately been slack on some of this for years and finally starting to get up to speed in the past year. As creatives we don't want to think about this stuff. One thing I might add, and this mainly applies to people who are writing or producing for an artist on a label: as a writer/producer who doesn't own the masters of the songs, don't expect large sums from streams. Spotify, for example, keeps about 30% of revenue from subscriptions and ads. The rest, 57% goes to the master owners(often the labels), and 13% to the payout of writer, publishers, mechanicals etc. And beyond that, the compensation can vary quite a bit based on region, paid user streams vs ad supported streams. It's so complicated, I don't even think the people at the streaming platforms fully understand it. Anyway, Thanks Decap for another informative video.

Thanks decap

thank you so much

I'm with songtrust and I am seeing that a good portion of mechanicals are coming from the US, however in this video you both mention that US mechanicals should be going directly to our distributor, am I missing something here?

youre a king!

LEADER

les go a long vid!!!

What I don't understand is how you get mechanical royalties AND performance royalties from the same song (ex. streaming on spotify)? I assume you don't get paid double the money, so whats the split for how much goes through your distributor and how much goes through your PRO?

Good stuff. Who is the other guy in the video? Where is that content from? Thanks

Thanks alot.. I was wondering how can I actually make money from music production. Im just starting out and this helps alot

thanks

How does the producer collect their mechanical publishing royalties iff the artist signs up with cdbaby? If the artist makes sure to put the correct splits, the artist will only recieve their royalty due to them? Or does the artist recieve 100% of the funds that come from for example, cdbaby?

I registered my first ever song 🎧 on ascap and I received the blue check mark ✔️!!!! From this point how will ascap know thats my song? In order to collect my royalties on my half ? I feel like I’m missing a piece to the puzzle 🧩 do they track it by the title of the song ? Or should I purchase an ISRC and attach it to my song on ascap ? So they can better track where my song is playing?

This is knowledge man decap fuckingg awesome luv from india❤️

What is this video from?

How can i put songs on amazon music without distributor?

So let’s say somebody Dm me for a beat I made and they actually use the beat do I register the song under the name the rapper chose to name the song or what ?? And also do I put the artists name down when I’m registering ?

🙏🙏

If I’m on a different platforms can I collect royalties from a different publisher than the one I’m signed up on ?

💎💎

How do i set up myself too collect royalties when selling a beat? When somone sends there song off to be published how do i get the royalties to land in my bank account? I assume i dont give them bank details directly so do i have to register as an artist with my bank connected?

The big issue with this video it is confusing composition and recording royalties, also the use of word "artist" is apparently assuming the music is being 100% produced by a single person, the "artist"... If the song/music is fully auto-produced, then this video is helpful, but in general it still misses the details and clarification regarding the rights owners of the Master Recording, which is some time fully owned by the performing artist (not the "artist", but actually the person who recorded his/her instrument/voice on the Master), or fully owned by the producer, or fully owned by the label, or a mix of negotiated shares between all the mentioned. I am no lawyer, but I can share what I know through an example.... Approximately 70% of a DSP revenue, such as Spotify, is payed as royalties. Suppose this number is 1M$ (too little😂)in a given month, then almost 200K$ (20%) is paid out as mechanical and performance royalties for the AUTHOR/COMPOSER/PUBLISHER, paid by spotify, to the PROs, CMOs and their asspciated publishers and composers/authors... (note for mechanicals, it is paid to distributors if the music is played in the US, as explained in the video). On the other hand, the remaining 800K$ (80%), are paid to the distributors, regardless if the latter take a fee/cut or not, still these 80% are for MASTER RECORDING, and thus they are owed to whoever owns the MASTER. It could be a performing artist, which can be me recording or signing your music compoistion/lyrics as a cover, or be the original artists who wrote the song/music, but he/she is getting paid here only if 1) he/she actually recorded/performed on the master, and 2) if they have negotiated with the label and/or producer a slice in the ownership of the masters... Sadly most of the time only labels own the masters, performing artists and even producers are left behind through the use of work-for-hire contracts, so labels pay a one-time fee and case closed, Or in best case performing artists and producers take a 20% share in the master, while the label, takes all the rest. So to dear fellow producers and performing artists (speically when you improvise on a track or bring value that could define the track character, you could be a beatmaker, an orchestra conductor..), please take ownership in your masters, or at least just LICENCE for labels to exploit only for a defined term and territory, this way you will always have control on the biggest revenue stream, the Master Recording. So how producers should collect their royalties, well, what I know is: sign good recording/master agreements to take part in the master ownership and/or royalties coming from digital and physical sales, also register in producers-oriented societies for example like Sound Exchange in the US, SCPP or SPPF in France...etc, these societies will help collecting Neighboring rights royalties, which are due on the RECORDING/MASTER, and they are for 1) Public Performance, like plays on TV, Radio, pub, and 2) for Private-copy (which is a tax the societies collect any time somebody buys a device that is able to copy data like ipads, phones, hard disk, usbs)... For Public Performance neigboring rights, the U.S didn't sign the Rome treaty, so basically your master will not generate performance royalty when played on a U.S Radio for example, but it will generate such royalty when played on a french or german radio for example, so to collect it, unfortunatly, the only way is to register yourself in a Producer-oriented society, which will collect for you royalties on performances (and private-copy) in their territory (and maybe sometimes extend to couple of countries if they have treaties)... I hope this helps and please correct me if I mentioned anything that contradicts your experience.

When it comes to performance royalties .. if I’m already on bmi .. it’s out of 200% so I have to get admin publishing and would that mean the break down is now 100% composer and 100% admin publishing company

Awesome thank you man

Ok how does the publishing work? If i register as a publisher, doesn't that affect songtrust? Can i be a publisher and have song trust? I thought songtrust was my publisher??? And what are my duties as a publisher?

Hey Decap, you should start a room on "Clubhouse"

If the artist registers the song on distro kid, do I still have to register the song on my end as the producer?

💎💎💎💎

Why does nobody use SoundCloud re-post to distribute their songs
