Wow, thanks for not waisting our time taking 5 hours to get to the point. You are very direct and that is appreciated!
on GOD❤
literally, this video was so on point, i almost couldn't believe it at first, had to be fake
I had to subscribe
I never did subscribe
You've explained in 3 mins what we've previously gathered in 3 hours of videos. Respect to your sharing of knowledge.
And just checked out your music on Spotify... You're an actual role model.
Thank you 🙏🔥
making it easy for yall
@@KatoHipHop is there a way to collect your music pub admin royalties without using Songtrust?
@@ChrisJohnsonTV1980 try consider tunecore
BIG FAX!!!
@@KatoHipHop say bro can we collab on some music?
Littrally love it, no 30 min intro, no life story ❤️ just getting straight to the point, like a video should 🙏❤️
Great video! If you're from the UK, I believe these are the equivalent organisations:
1. Distributor - Distrokid, CD Baby, Ditto, AWAL etc.
2. Collection Society - PRS (part of 'PRS for Music')
3. Publishing Admin - MCPS (part of 'PRS for Music')
4. Recorded music licensing - PPL
If anyone knows better please let me know!
Explain bro. emmanuelsimpson50@gmail.com
So much knowledge packed into three minutes.
🫶
And someone out here selling a 60 day course for $275 dollars to get this information explained in 3 mins.
Literally just finished reading donald passman's 'Everything You Need To Know About The Music Business" today and then get recommended this. He's absolutely right
Dropping tons of value into a few quick little gems, you're the man Kato. Thanks for educating the rest of us
Had everything except sound exchange. All set now.👍
yeeee!
Kato On The Track great info but how do I register a song on SoundExchange properly? Could u make an updated 2020 video?
@@KatoHipHop I like how you simplified it & got right to the point. Most content creators don't do that. Kudos for that. You got my sub on GP for that.
Bro what if i dont registered to sound exchange, will it be a trouble if i only had 3 out of 4 of them?
@@jojo-fj7lw from what i understand YES. You would probably be only getting 74% of all your money.
A lot of people needed to hear this
EastSaint269 major facts
Kato thank you for being so straight up about this.
I’ve been looking for this video for days! Thank you so much for a short and clear explanation
Wow! I thought I had registered for all my royalties until I saw this. Thanks for breaking it down.
What's dope about this is that there are no thumbs down, meaning everyone wants to get paid off their work. I see ya Kato!
This is the best video ever on royalties short,direct and very understandable
This video put me on , in such a different way that I can't even explain on how much this info is going to do for my career & many others out there,, just straight facts , & yeah new subscriber on board 👏 🙌 👌
Thank you so much. I've been looking for this. Straight to the point and very clear. I just want to know how to collect all (or at least almost all) possible royalties from my music. Cheers!
What is the purpose of P.R.O (BMI/ASCAP etc) including Soundexchange if SongTrust can collect all the royalties for you INCLUDING internationally? Thanks for sharing
You're the absolute GOAT for this video. So many frauds on youtube trying to waste your time.
I completely agree with everything you said, but this doesn't add up to 99%. Songtrust takes 15% and the PRO's take a small amount. So this is really around 84%, but people should do everything you said for sure.
Hey bro, quick question, does distrokid collect only the master royalties? Is that also the same as the mechanical royalties?
@@emmanuelsimpson1751 mechanicals for the most part come from the physical sell of music(ie. CD's, Tapes, Vinyls) for the most part they are dealing because of streaming. Master royalties are what you would get from a Label depending on your percentage, but the include mechanicals and streaming(Public Performance Royalties) as well as most other revenue streams that the label would receive for your music. Distrokid is going to pay you for streaming, which is different than Mechanicals. Dtistrokid is dealing with your Public Performance Royalties off of streaming.
i dont believe these guys, sontrust takes 100 for 12 months, thats more of rip off than paying the artist
very useful for someone who knows absolutely nothing about music publishing
Thank you for a quick and easy explanation.
Excellent info. I've been mastering records and occasionally mixing for 20 years but I used to be a producer prior to that in the 90's where it was the wild west with no roadmap. I'm starting to tinker with production again and this info is really helpful.
Yes!!!! So simply explained. Thank you
I was unaware of the black box 📦 Lots of information in this bite sized chunk.
Thanks for the info. The Black Box was particularly good to know
straight to the point, thank you
That's sick information bro🔥🔥
ZAISS6IX /\ NSAITYI 🔥🔥🔥
Thank You!! If I would’ve heard this years ago ...
You have been such a blessing Kato on the track
Question Kato, what is the point of registering with SoundExchange if your Distribution company is collecting those funds? Can you please explain?
The advice at the end got my sub and like. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you for these gems!! 💎
another question..
i only have 176,000 plays on spotify but only a 3 songs that have over 20-30k streams.. is it even worth the time of registering my works right now? so far i have been collecting minor payments from my distributor. at what point do i need to make sure im signed up for BMI, song trust, and sound exchange?
What about for independent producers living in Australia? 1. Who are the top 3 Distributors
2. Who are the top 3 Collection Society
3. Who are the top 3 Publishing Admin
4. Who are the top 3 Recorded music licensing
Thank You!!! The best vid on this topic by far
Thank you brotha!!!💯✊🏽💪🏽
Jo the camera is to the right of you!
Thank you for sharing this Knowledge. I appreciate you!!
This is amazing thank you
Kato on the track tysm
You are the man thank you 🙏for this info..
Thank you
Great video. One of the best on a complicated topic. Why would there be uncollected money on the streaming side? Aren't the distributors supposed to take that back from the streaming platforms they work with?
This is such amazing information. Thank you bro
Hey I came out on Teo big albums last year but I believe the artist and their label put in the wrong Ipi number. How can I claim my royalties and make sure they come to me . I have ascap
Thanks for the info!!
Thank you!
Thank you for this 😁👍🏿
Good info👍🏾
You are the ceo of producer rights .
Thanks you for all great this info.
Ayy first one to comment but Kato you best
Jonas Rutsch thanks brooo
Hey Kato, great content! And as someone who is already set with everything I believe you could have the answer to my question - I'm still curious how does PRO come to amount that will be payed out to a songwriter generated through streams?
We know that distributor pays for streams generated through master recording and there is a revenue set for one stream ( roughly, we can say that 1 000 000 streams on Spotify will generate around 4000$ from master side), but can we say what value that song will generate on the composition side for the same amount of the streams? Is there any formula? Or is there any ratio for that? Thanks in advance.
Great video
Is it necessary to pay a distribution company if I'm not getting more than 300 streams per release? Why not just distribute my music myself on to platforms such as youtube, soundcloud, instagram, tiktok, facebook? Can't I always release my most popular songs if people ask?
Wow.... Kudos man.
Wait the money that doesn't get claimed just gets distributed to the top earners of the industry?!??? That is beyond savage... damn...
You would think unclaimed money would help the poor on the streets, not line the pockets of already rich music artists. Makes my blood boil. Thank you so very much for your kind video which supports independent artists.
Thank you man
Good Sh Main 💯👍
Thanks bro
what if you've started your own publishing company and signed up with bmi publishing as well? Is this the same as a pub ad?
no.
How does it work if i sold a beat? They have a mp3 lease. What can u claim if they released music with that beat ??
Great video. Gota say you would need to have PRO before going to Song trust! it doesn't replace it for you. Still, this is decent!
Songtrust can also sign u up with a PRO if you're not with one already 👍
@@KatoHipHop Kato I'm writing my dissertation regarding the PROs. I'm inviting some professionals on a Zoom call for a little discussion helping me complete my research. Would you join us for 15 minutes live interview?
Great tip mate, just some quick questions, i run a mini record label, I’ve affiliated my label with my country’s pro (iprs from India), so my question is will my pro collect royalties outside India? And should we supposed to register each artist of ours to songtrust & soundexchange?
From what I understand NO. Your PRO in India does not collect US royalties. Here in the states we have the same problem. You will need to register with an American PRO. There are only 3: BMI, ASCAP and the third one is SESAC which is by invite only.
How do you find Royalties that you haven’t collected before they go to black box, ??? Because I only collected the publishing royalties.
May I ask, why after go to black box and then it go to Taylor Swift, Drake, or famous artist ?
yeaaaaaaaaa
Amazing straight forward video! one question, My PRO is affiliated with other international PROs for performance and mechanical royalty collection, do I really need a pub admin?
Who is your PRO?
great video
all dis overwhelms me tbh
Please explain me the below state ment please please.......
.
.
Controlled Compositions: If any selection or musical composition, or any portion thereof, recorded in the Masters hereunder is written or composed by Producer, in whole or in part, alone or in collaboration with others, or is owned or controlled, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Producer or any person, firm, or corporation in which Producer has a direct or indirect interest, then such selection and/or musical composition shall be hereinafter referred to as a "Controlled Composition". Producer hereby agrees to issue or cause to be issued, as applicable, to Artist, or Artist's designees, mechanical licenses (including, without limitation, any "first use" mechanical licenses) and other licenses in respect of each Controlled Composition subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to selections and musical compositions written, composed, owned, or controlled, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Artist, which are embodied on the Master or any recording recorded under this agreement. For that license, on the United States and Canada sales, Artist will pay mechanical royalties at one hundred percent (100%) of the minimum statutory rate, subject to no cap of that rate for albums and/or EPs. For license outside the United States and Canada, the mechanical royalty rate will be the rate prevailing on an industry-wide basis in the country concerned on the date that this agreement has been entered into. Producer hereby grants Artist a license to reproduce Controlled Compositions that are embodied on the Master produced hereunder in synchronization with and in time relation to visual images featuring Artist's performances in so-called promotional "video programs", on a royalty-free basis and in so-called commercial "video programs", in being understood that Producer shall be entitled to Producer's pro-rata share of any royalties attributable to such commercial "video programs". Upon Artist's request Producer shall execute or cause Producer's publishing designee to execute and deliver to Artist, as applicable, all documents required by Artist, as applicable, to effectuate the purpose of this paragraph.
What about TH-cam live performances
Dope video
How to approach this for people living in India! We live outside US
Kato...BMI asking for you to turn over the rights to your music to them for the time that you are under contract with them. Is this something that is normal and necessary? If I turn over ALL RIGHTS to them I have no say so over my music anymore until the contract is up. That's scary!
will i actually collect from DJ spins in the club or at a party, etc?
from the way you explained it, i think BMI collects radio and Sound Exchange gets internet radio. but if i network with DJs how will i generally get paid?
Those kinds of dj plays are unmonitored, so no you will not collect anything from those. Only things that have to go do through a system in order to be played will you get paid from.
Yo bro great vid but quick question y is it only 99 percent?
Hey Kato, I got a question that I cant get a definitive answer on. When starting off as a brand new act without a fanbase, is it a good idea to create a tour out of your pocket, or wait until you have an online base you can convert? I hear a lot about new acts touring, but I dont understand how they afford to live and do it when they aren't pushing a lot of tickets? Thanks
I would personally wait until you've built a following online and on streaming.
@@KatoHipHop thank you, I was thinking the same to
open for other bands too
Cdbaby is that indapendent?
Can I use music reports instead of songtrust as it also collects mechanical royalties and it's free if I'm not mistaken
I’m from Africa.Nigeria and I’m getting streams on my Spotify,can I get my royalties while I’m here?
Also, it's not possible to reclaim streaming royalties if they weren't being collected by a company? unless you re release the song correct?
What about copyrighting the songs?
I hope this doesn’t sound like a stupid question, but would I apply the same method to loops that I’m sending out from a beat maker point of view? Or does this only apply to songs when they are finalized?
Question . So as a producer . Let’s say I sold a beat exclusively or non exclusively but the song is not out their yet . Can I still sign up to these sites and upload the exclusive beat I sold or how does it really work ? I want to start creating a account for BMI & SongTrust && SoundExchange
You register your beat on everything the same way. HOWEVER Exclusive rights, from what i understand, is a one time private exchange between you and the artist buying it from you. You give the artist what you've created and that's the last money you receive. Honestly vie seen lots of producers sell an exclusive though and keep the beat on here because its got so many views and they just change the description to SOLD and delete the links to purchase it. Because that video makes your channel better, makes money, and if that beat pops up in some bloggers video somewhere you can still probably collect royalties. But exclusive is supposed to = gave away all rights to the person who bought it.
@@chuckmullins9338 ahh okay I see what your saying . Please correct me if I’m wrong but even if you sell the beat exclusively. I’m still entitled to 50% of the publishing side as well as royalties right ?
I just can’t simply keep selling the beat anymore as I have sold it already exclusively
? if your music gets played while somebody's playing a video game and streaming your song who collects the royalties for you
Hi I already using Cd Baby standard and Songtrust.. Is it enough to get those royalties?
Was it?
that's only half, your missing a PRO, and sound exchange. So if your music pops up on xm radio, sirious, or some live version or video; then that money is going in the black box until you claim it.
@@chuckmullins9338 Thank you so much
@@villnicandro6506 Your very welcome, Im trying to decide which PRO im going with right now. Did you already decide?
@@chuckmullins9338 cd baby pro... Like all the important things is already in cd baby pro
Is there another way to collect neighour royaltes without pay the 100$ fee of songtrust?
thanks man!
Tunecore publishing
Still recommended in 2023?
Does that apply for open mics ?
Can those collection agencies get royalties retroactively?
How do You get 99 if songtrust collects 15 and those digital distribución get a cut
Same ques tho
What's your thoughts on joining HFA & or Music Reports if you already have a pub admin like Songtrust and/or an actual Pub deal (complex I know, the pub deal is 90% instrumental sync/licensing)
Songtrust works with HFA so you'd be covered there with all your mechanicals. Music Reports is good to have tho.
Some dude from France hit me up about an album i dropped in 95
what about registering your copyrights with the gov before doing any of this???
Thank you so much bro! This applies for other countries too? I mean I'm from Argentina, it doesn't matter? Thx 💪🏼🔥
With That said, such Organizations are a bunch of well Organized legal Scavengers.
I apologize for such expression, but they have to have policies of contacting Artists, even if it's once, to let them know that their hard work has paid off.
Let me know if I'm wrong.
Im confused about SongTrust, what if you don't want to upload Beats on Spotify only on youtube, Can SongTrust still monetize your content ID? The most straight up video! THANKS!!
@Camilo Ortega thank you, yes it was really helpfull!
Can a producer claim sound exchange royalties? Because we don’t own the masters so I’m not sure if we can collect that
