Applejaxx, much appreciate the insight on registering your music! I've been on ASCAP for the past couple of years, but not sure if the information is correct, where it asks what the song is intended for. How do I get my music registered properly, so that I can start receiving royalties? Thanks for your time_
I use ASCAP, but many of the producers and artists I've worked with use BMI. Does anybody know what to put for the "publisher" for BMI users? I have no idea if I've been doing this correctly and I have a lot of songs in my catalog
I'm a little confused and was wondering if anyone can help me. If a song is created by a band trio, do all three members of the band sign up with ASCAP or BMI? Or should all three members have their own publishing company? For example, my band has three independently released albums in the last decade, but they're all registered under the singer's publishing company he made up called Resonant Music. I never questioned it as I told him it was ok to put under his since I didn't have one and wasn't sure how it worked. Is there anything wrong in this situation? Should all three of us (drummer and bassist as well) have created our own "publishing companies" and also registered the same songs under ours? Or should we all just use the one company "Resonant Music"? Does it allow you to split up between multiple people even if you use one single company name on ASCAP or BMI? All of our releases are through Tunecore which pays to one account anyway which we all share. So far our band has made very little in streams or sales so there hasn't been any kind of issue at all. Please someone help me with this if you happen to know this type of situation! Thank you for your time!
For starters it makes sense for everyone to be affiliated with the same performance rights organization such as Ascap or BMI , you want to make sure everyone is playing for the same team for lack of better terms!!! to answer your question regarding the publishing it looks like the singer is prepared to collect all publishing on the publishers side however I wouldn’t necessarily say this is a red flag but definitely have a conversation on how the singer is preparing to split the publishing when royalties when are paid out
Yes, if you lease a beat, you still have to add the producer in the publishing section. The composition is made of music and lyrics. 50% Writer of the lyrics and music 50% Publishers of writers
When you join ASCAP as a writer and publisher, that’s when you can create your publishing company. If you need help with getting starting enroll here www.fadacy.com/music-academy
How does percentage works if I had two producers collab on a track and I paid for the exclusive rights and own the beat? Would I still included their names without a percentage. I own the beat so wouldn’t I get 100% of everything .
Even if you own the beat, the producers are due royalties and credit. ASCAP/BMI collect on the composition and when calculating that it's 50% writer + 50% publisher (total 100%). If you purchase a beat exclusively. The writer side is split out o 50% between you, features (if any) and producers (they are writers of the music). The same split on the publisher side.
@@applejaxx So what you said above is Me and the other songwriters (if any) should get 25%, the beatmakers 25% and on the publishing same thing? Should the beatmaker get 25% on the writers side and on publishing?
When your music is played or used in user-generated content, the TH-cam Content ID company (like Tunecore), ASCAP and Publishing Administrator are the ones that track this information.
I registered my first song ever diddle dance back in January 2021 , my song has been played a few times over multiple platforms, however when I check for royalties it keeps showing nothing, I’m new to this and it’s frustrating, I’m not sure if I’m missing a step In the process? I don’t expect a lot of royalties but sure I’ve made at least $1 by now ? I need some advice on what is it that I’m supposed to do after submitting song to ascap ? Sound exchange? Or other good sources that can expose my song and gain more traction? Thank you
What distribution do you use? ASCAP collects on performance royalties (tv, coffee shops, film), Sound Exchange (internet radio) but your distribution collects on-demand streams + downloads. You will most likely see money coming from your distribution before performance royalties. There's an online course I have, link in the comments if you want to know more about the process.
How would I split it if I have BMI as Composer and Publishing ASCAP. I produce/compose the music and have an artist record the song. We agreed to 50-50 split.
Depending on which one you use the most, You’ll have to make sure both BMI + ASCAP has the correct information. So you can login and register in ASCAP, then make sure BMI matches that.
You can open an ASCAP account without having a publishing company first. However, It's easier if you register as a writer and publisher at the same time.
(ASCAP related)…Exclusively, I own 100% of my publishing so automatically I put 50% on the publishing side under my entity…cool…For the writers split I have 25% for myself and 25% to my producer…here’s where my problem lies, it’s not letting me continue unless I put 12.50% for my publishing and for his too…why is that ? When I own 100% of my publishing why is it making me instead of continuing with the 50% of publishing that I own, is it making me divided everything based off the amount of contributors I have
Update : Since I own my publishing, under the publishing side for the composer, You can check off “This writer has no Publisher on this work”. Does this mean they receive no publishing because I am the sole owner ? If so, it’s kind of the answer to my entire dilemma.
When you add a writer, the same percentage for the writer has to be associated with a publishing company. For every song, 50% writers + 50% publishers make up the song (composition). If you write the lyrics and the producer writes the music, generally the splits are even on the writers and publishing side. Even though you are the owner of the master, royalties are still due to anyone that contributed. In the case that a producer doesn't have a publishing company, you can check that box but it's good to connect with them first. If the producer does have a publishing company, it's good to split the percentages based on your agreement.

Is ascap a good way to get your songs discovered? If so what’s the process. I’m a writer looking to write for other artists.
I use bmi. Thank you for the video
about to use Ascap, Thank you for the vid

I just did one and went well but where do I upload the lyrics or and completed song?
Thanks Man- simple & done
Thank you!! Just making sure we're all good out here!

Tavaris Brown thanks so much for responding. Great advice and I appreciate it!
I DONT UNDERSTAND.. If I lease a beat from someone and I write a lyric to the beat should I put the beat maker in the publisher section ?
Yes, if you lease a beat, you still have to add the producer in the publishing section.
The composition is made of music and lyrics. 50% Writer of the lyrics and music
50% Publishers of writers
Great video thanks bro.👍🏾
Thank you for watching!
Hey so you don’t actually have to upload to song on ascap? Just the name and people who worked on it? No actual songs to upload?
Right, you don't actually upload the song to ASCAP. You only need to upload the title, contributors and performers.
Hi. How’s it goin? I’m new at this music stuff. How and where would I find a publisher from ?

@@applejaxx I appreciate you thanks 🙏🏾 and yes I’m definitely interested
ASCAP giving me trouble it wont process my work I'm trying again now.
How do I add features or beats from another producer?
In ASCAP, you have to list the producer as a writer and publisher based on the agreed splits. Featured artists are added if they wrote on the song.
Thank you Sir
Happy to help!

@@applejaxx would I get 25% for producer and 25% to the artist for songwriting and the other 50% to my publishing?
Hey Apple Jack...what happens if I don't have a publishing company? Do I have to find a publisher first before registering it on ASCAP?
You can open an ASCAP account without having a publishing company first. However, It's easier if you register as a writer and publisher at the same time.
@@applejaxx can I create a publishing company for myself?
Is the $50 fee for this for each song or can I register an album? I have 15 songs to register.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Great
🙌🏽 Thank you!
I don’t see the option to upload the song
In ASCAP, you're only adding the information related to the song like the title, performers, writers, publishers and ISRC numbers.
It's confusing and doesn't work!
I'm ASCAP
Nice! How many songs have you published?
