Hi Jon, thx a lot for the informative video. I would really appreciate your feedback on Label cuts please, since the label uploads the music and receives the streaming and sync stats and revenues is there any way for the artists to monitor that. How do we know what the Label is exactly receiving from our music. Thx again for your help and have a wonderful day.
Very useful information. Thanks for the video. 50/50 on a label doesn't even sound that bad :). But I assume the stores like Beatport also take a significant share of the selling price?
Key Advice: These big or small labels out there only come after you if the record actually makes money. So many house producers now a days take what they need sample it and just get it signed to small independent records. The record turns into a club hit. Producers literally making $10 a quarter on Beatport sales, come at it Warner Bros Records!
This depends on the country. In Germany the clubs pay a der based on size and people visiting to the royalty collecting company. So djs just need to buy the songs. I think in theory in some countries the do has to register the songs and pay a fee but not sure how that works in practice probably no one cares.
I'm still really mystified how and where the money comes to support all this. The break down I made was : Music sales: Which is tough for earnings Studio Rental for recording : Probably somewhat substantial TH-cam videos: Probably small percentage earnings Then your costs : Employees, massive electricity for studio, lease, then all your personal expenses. Not to mention all the gear and modifications. Anyways, my mind is melting and the math doesn't seem right in my head.......
You forgot the dj courses, copyright and my label. Also my electric bill is just 30€ per month. All of this works barely. I’m cutting all privat expenses. All for the love of music
How do remix contracts work for an EP? Say you are releasing your own song on your own record label and you ask another artist to make a remix to release on the same EP. Does the remix artist get any royalties? Just a flat payment for the remix? Do they have a copyright on the remix?
That’s why I always get the permission to use it before or right after the Session. Unfortunately if you don’t have any prove she allowed you to use it u can’t. Legally speaking
I really don't understand the value of a big label deal if they are not providing promotion. In the "old days", labels assumed most of the risk by fronting the recording costs, paying for manufacturing and packaging, and providing A&R guidance and promotion. The artist usually collected 15-25% of the royalties. A fair rate for a digital only deal would be 40-50%. A deal that is only 20% with no promotion is ridiculous! Also, it sounds like ghost production is pretty lucrative.
i find your videos very productive, have many plans but indeed i really want you to send me a book thus pdf format of how to start a Record Label to my account with all due respect. have even subscribed to your account
Hi Jon, a quick question: is it possible to call a song with the name of a big artist? For example ("Artist Name" - Martin Garrix) It's sounds like a stupid question but I'm curious xD
Great information brother, can you instant message me? Being new to the business, I have some questions I would like to ask you to help me help other artist.
Why and how did people start listening to bullshit dance music on a continuous basis. I am a lover of all music but this is chick music dude. Great information though and I thank you for that.

How many instruments do you play? Is it possible to go big in edm without instrumental backgrounds?
Very useful information.
This was one of your best videos.
So as a DJ playing normal events, I’m allowed to play anyone’s songs anyway I choose? Thanks.
Yes..but your mixes might be taken down

@@Jonsine In The USA, the venues and radio stations pay licensing fees to Performance RIghts Organizations.

Did u study music? Or production?
No all self thought.

What do you do if you want to use a vocal from a previous session (many years back) but you can't find the vocalist to discuss %
That’s why I always get the permission to use it before or right after the Session. Unfortunately if you don’t have any prove she allowed you to use it u can’t. Legally speaking
What kinda desk is that?!
Made it myself search on my channel for diy desk and you will find the video.
@@Jonsine Thanks and will do

The secret room finally brought you a big package. 😊🙏

It's sounds like a stupid question but I'm curious xD
Im pretty sure it is
Duck Sauce made a song called Barbara Streisand
I also think yes - Post malon is another example but not 100% sure what happens if the name is copyright protected.
How the hell can someone claim 100% royalties just for a topline!? Forget about lawyers, singers are the really greedy ones
i have gospel songs, could you help me produce them
I made some pretty cool beats with your guitar melodies from Splice.
Great information brother, can you instant message me? Being new to the business, I have some questions I would like to ask you to help me help other artist.
What i learned from this, iif u dont do it on your own, they screw you
*divided
Thanks 🙏
