I have a question, is it possible to register my loops in the BMI

[@OUHBOY]

Can confirm these numbers and the fact that a big catalogue of smaller songs can be more powerful than 1 huge hit. It’s actually amazing how much money can be generated with pub, writers share and master. We producers need to put in more pressure about the master tho.

[@prodkxvi]

Hell yea bro! Hope you been good man it’s been a minute 🔥

[@denzmo1139]

can confirm this as well off asian placements

[@OUHBOY]

Ive been good bro thank you, hope you too. And propz for being so open about the numbers

[@The_pots_guy]

Can you elaborate about a few smaller songs vs one big it? Wouldve imagined like a big radio hit would pay crazy royalties with the radio factor added but yall have the experience of course

[@sincerelyJc.]

@@The_pots_guyif you have a large catalog of small/ medium placemats itll start to add up over time and yeah a big placemat is good but lots of small and medium sized placemats will add up over time is what I take from it

[@musicbysazid]

This guy's transparency truly amazes me the most

[@personaltastemusic]

Yes It's super refreshing, I like that about him he's not like one of those "I'm going to gatekeep my earnings because haha im so mysterious and whatever", great guy

[@joelharvey]

So if you started out in 2019, you’ve made about 42k a year on average so far. On one hand, you are definitely being underpaid considering how many streams you’ve had. But on the other hand, you’re still getting paid to do what you love, which makes you luckier than 99.99% of human beings.

[@baoef284]

yea but why would u average it

[@joelharvey]

@@baoef284 Because you have to consider the value of the time he invested before he was making money.

[@eskhayy_official]

But most of his placements are collabs with 2 - 3 other producers so that's about right if u ask me

[@percusdario]

Do you need to have big records in order to do beatstars publishing ? Or can you do beats as well? Can someone educate me ? 2:10 Beatstars Pub 7:00 Master Royalties. 9:00 12% on Publishing

[@icatchpips6761]

If someone uses your beat and they upload it to streaming platforms you can register those songs, they also don’t need to be big artists

[@issNizz]

whatup Kxvi, I've been watching for a little while now, and I was wondering, did I understand correctly, can you use beatstars publishing as your publisher for your own songs, like with vocals and everything, full songs, or is it just for beats? And what is your stance on choosing a publisher, as I want to release my own songs very soon but don't know whether to use say, Beatstars Publishing, DistroKid, Ditto, or any others if there's better, again not for beats but songs, would love to hear your advice!

[@Lee_Beats.]

Wanna know about one thing that producer doesn't get paid by the streaming platforms??? As they play the major roles or they are getting paid by registering there song??? Cz I am a bit confused.

[@kczuei]

Nah imagine u pay $75 for a application just to get declined 😐

[@martinwalters8677]

Do you need a special deal with Beatstars to collect publishing royalties? I'm confused

[@kacpie]

its called beatstars publishing

u basically connect your PRO with beatstars publishing and its registering songs for you, its much easier than registering in PRO itself

[@edwinz3]

how often were your cheques coming in was it like once a month?

[@DJPain1]

The labels are supposed to be paying you master royalties directly, you shouldn’t have to register for those.

[@prodkxvi]

Gotta register on sound exchange and also set up vendor accounts with the labels tho hahah, that’s what I been procrastinating

[@DJPain1]

@@prodkxvi oh the vendor accounts, yeah, those are terrible, but they’re not technically registration. Sound exchange is a ‘performance royalty’ but on the master side- hopefully every agreement had the sound exchange LOD on it, I’m sure it did based on the lawyers you work with 🙏🏽🙏🏽

You could’ve at least blurred the amount you made at the start a bit better it’s clear to see what you made, doesn’t really keep the point of staying till the end

Why don’t you start a discord server for producers to connect and collaborate? I believe building up a community like that would be awesome and a huge gift for you fanbase!

you gave beatstars a % on something you weren't collecting bc "free money" but you won't even collect your masters?? my brother genuinely consider what that money would be doing in an index fund. fuck a year from now, what would that money be in 10 years?? 30???

[@nolanjohnson7401]

like if you aren't actively "using" it, it's devaluing! you're losing money if it's sitting around which means you're getting paid LESS?? why would you ever sign up for that!

[@dnny9486]

If you would have worked a good normal job and made 2.5K a month, you would have had 120.000$ and it requires no luck "hardwork"(if u got no connections) and no time alone from your family and friends, so ?... And what did u spend on all your equipment + scams, thats another - And you didnt mentioned 50% that the IRS is takin if u making over a amount of summ a year.

[@dnny9486]

So the 250.000 are round up to 150.000 after the IRS. Your equipment + Studio = 50.000 So you are at 100.000 with nearly 1Billion streams
