How do you clear 2 samples if they in 1 song and they only about 2-3 seconds each do you just register 2 different works

[@itsmaistro]

@THEGLOWPRODUCTIONS in that case I would say yes but I would name both the same song and in parenthesis add one as sample 1 and the other sample 2

I got a question bro. I see that to clear a sample u gotta have the ISRC etc… I got a beat I made and I only wanna sell the lease on BeatStars (but obviously there’s no ISRC involved because it’s not going via a distributor). What’s the process for selling beats with samples which were on TrackLib? I’m not able to actually get the license because I’m not releasing it on DSPs

[@itsmaistro]

Beatstars allows you to include the third party sample used on the beat. When the artist buys the beat its there job to go to tracklib to clear the sample

[@MickiRonnae1]

People are sleeping on Landr Studio.

[@itsmaistro]

Indeed

[@beatsinlondon]

Sorry Im a bit confused, what publishing are you using? Do you have your own publishing company or deal? I was thinking of using Ditto Publishing but do you know if Landr does the publishing too or is it just distribution? It’s just you kind of missed the publishing of your song step, and where does it come in the equation please. Did you maybe join ASCAP’s publishing service? Sorry for all the questions, great video btw thank you!🙏

[@itsmaistro]

I was certain I covered it in the video, rewatch at 4:00 I go over how I set up and register the song with ascap

[@bronkoyotte]

Great video, it has been really useful! I am still scratching my head about a couple of things though. Are you also supposed to split mechanical royalties with the author and the publisher of the sampled track? Or is it that they only earn money as rightholders? What types of revenue are you meant to inform Tracklib about every six months? In case you do need to split mechanical royalties with the author and publisher, do you pay through Tracklib or do you pay them directly? I hope you can help me and all of those wondering the same. Peace!

[@itsmaistro]

Your streaming royalties are what you pay to the authors and publishers, you will pay them through tracklib, tracklib will email you every 6 months to remind you to report any royalties made on the song

[@bronkoyotte]

@@itsmaistro Thanks bro. What about performance royalties? They get paid those through my PRO, right?

[@itsmaistro]

@@bronkoyotte yes

[@ignaciocarrion3477]

Hi!, Loved your Tracklib video! Quick question: Do Tracklib licenses cover sync rights for Content ID on KZbin? Any insights from your experience?

[@itsmaistro]

Hey thank you no ttacklib does not cover youtube content id that deals more with music distribution

[@wavestoronto6]

So, I've got the song all registered and the submissions are in order. I'm just a bit puzzled about which royalties I'm responsible for. If they've got their own PROs, wouldn't that imply that their publishers are handling the royalties for that track? Am I supposed to retain my share of the publishing royalties and only pay out the mechanical royalties every six months? Also, does Tracklib provide me with information about the amount I owe? I'm still getting the hang of this, so pardon me if my questions seem a bit basic! 😅

[@itsmaistro]

Yes tracklib will email you every 6 months to report any income made on the song. It's up to you to track those stats and report that amount

[@shoarmapapa476]

I have a question. So you can sell the beat on beatstars without clearing, is what I understood from the comments, but can you also upload the beats to a type beat channel without clearing it?

[@itsmaistro]

Yes

[@gameplaynlaltijdgames]

@@itsmaistro when people buy the beat, do they have to clear it or does the producer need to do that?

[@itsmaistro]

@@gameplaynlaltijdgames the artists clears it

[@carbonvibes]

Great video, appreciate you going through the whole process. Quick question, so after you finalize your license, in theory then and only then you can upload videos to KZbin with your finished track correct?

[@itsmaistro]

Yes that is correct

[@btwitzchris6644]

nice video bro appreciate the help. I have a question. are you allowed to sell beats that contain samples on it exclusively or just just by leasing?

[@itsmaistro]

You can sell those beats exclusively along as you let the artist know the beat has a sample in it

[@jKHAHN215PA]

I’m at this point of the tracklib process and can’t find the upload license portion; unless that’s it under the profile. This tutorial was helpful tho

Go to your songs section after creating the License and you should be able to download it there by click the 3 dot icon

[@donald_XL_Robertson]

Great video, thanks for sharing I’m interested in using tracklib for a project just out curiosity do you pay mechanicals to the original writer from Landr monthly payments?

[@itsmaistro]

No your pay directly from your bank I believe. But tracklib sends out an email to you to report any revenue you've made from the song every 6 months. if you haven't made any, you just state that in the form.

[@ClassikMusic]

Just wondering, do you gather up mechanical royalties using your self-owned publishing company and then compensate yourself? Or is it more like you let those mechanical royalties head straight to your artist side (which is still you)?

[@itsmaistro]

You can sign up to sites like somgtrust to help collect your mechanical royalties. Essentially mechanical royalties are generated when your music is streamed and downloaded and can also be collected via your DSP

[@abelreyes9370]

So how do I give the artist royalties when I sell the beat? Can you please do a video explaining how you would go about this

[@itsmaistro]

The artists gets royalties when they make their song from your beat and upload it to streaming platforms

[@abelreyes9370]

@@itsmaistro okay but since you have set up the percentages in the licensing part of tracklib for the sample , how does that all work , do they take a cut from the artist ? I’m sorry I’m just confused

[@itsmaistro]

@abelreyes9370 when thr artist register their song with tracklib, the original artists of the sample are owed royalties which tracklib will email the artist and provide them a link to report any royalties made from the song, if I remember correctly there is a threshold and once it's met the artist pays out those royalties to the original artist via tracklib

[@abelreyes9370]

@@itsmaistro ahhh got it thank you ; so then you can automatically set it up with your ascap and all that as the artist and have the royalties automatically split if you do it correctly like you showed us huh

[@skinnysteveproducer]

I'm confused about the publishing portion on your end. I'm from Canada and I self-release all my music thru Distrokid and I'm currently setting up my Songtrust and SoundExchange, what do I do for that portion?

[@itsmaistro]

If any of your music doesn't contain samples and you make all your beats then you own 100% of everything with songtrust and soundexchange. If you are using splits with another producer or artist then you include that in as well

[@justinjones6810]

Quick question does landr allow you to collect your own publishing because I have an admin deal already with another publisher so I do not need landr to collect my publishing

[@itsmaistro]

They don't collect your publishing

[@a.c.onthebeat]

I have a question man so after I do everything in this video I will be able to put my beats with samples on them on Apple Music,Spotify etc. right?Now what if someone wants to buy a beat that has a sample in it?Would I be able to sell them a lease for that beat or no?

[@itsmaistro]

Yes and yes. The artust will have to go to tracklib to register the sample and you can put your beats on streaming sites after you do the same

[@a.c.onthebeat]

Gotchu so that way we all get a percentage right?and everything should be fine@@itsmaistro

[@mohayes9215]

What if I want to lease beats and I am not a member of a PRO and don't have an IPI number yet? Can I still pay for the sample license and upload my beat to Beatstars? Of course I would complete the license when an artist wants to release the track, but can I upload the beat and worry about clearing the sample later?

[@itsmaistro]

I upload the beat to beatstars and make sure to include the third party sample I got from tracklib so the artist can register the song on their end

[@greiggardiner5338]

what would be the deal with your IPI number and collection society if you're releasing on a label that takes care of all that? Would I only need to add my details on Tracklib for the license and then send the master file to the Label?

[@itsmaistro]

Not sure. I would assume you bring the attention to your label that your song I cludes a sample from tracklib. Show them the sample and let them handle that part for you if that's their job, and have them follow them video for help

[@greiggardiner5338]

@@itsmaistro Okay thank you!

[@larrytan73]

How many comercial releases do you have with artist?

Not many. Maybe about 10 that I know of

[@garvitchopra5204]

so lets say I remove the song off of all platforms in the future, is there a way to let tracklib know of that or do I have to keep telling them I have made 0 money from the song every 6 months

[@itsmaistro]

Just keep listing zero revenue for the song

[@wavestoronto6]

My distributor is CDBaby, and when I enter the song info, I need to specify the writers and their ownership percentages. The Tracklib license designates 5% for the sample writer and 5% for their publisher, leaving me with 90% (since I don't have a publisher). The challenge is that I need to ensure the total adds up to 100% for the songwriters on CDbaby. However, CDbaby doesn't let me assign a percentage to the publisher (5%). Should I set myself as the writer at 90% and the sample writer at 10%? Although I can assign a publisher to the sample writer, I can't choose the publisher's percentage. Any advice on what to do in this situation? Thank

[@itsmaistro]

If CD baby let's you select a publisher but no percentage then apply the percentage to the writer

[@wavestoronto6]

Hey, thanks a lot for your quick response earlier, really appreciate it! So, I've got another question: Do you own "Kick the Funk" publishing? If you do, could you give me some tips on how to start my own? I'm asking because I'm up here in Canada, and our PRO is SOCAN - it's the only option we've got. They've got this rule where you need a publisher to register any music, which is a bit of a problem because I don't actually have a publisher. I managed to get around it by entering CDbaby as the publisher, but I'm not sure if that's really the right way to go about it since they're not exactly a proper publisher. Any thoughts on what I should do? @@itsmaistro

Jesus christ all of that for just one beat? Why not just let the artists label handle clearance? Seems like a whole lot of work for just one beat that may never even get picked up by an artist or a label right

[@itsmaistro]

Not sure if you watched the whole video but of course the artist would be responsible for clearing the sample of the beat, this is for if you as the producer want to release your own instrumentals to streaming platforms, this would be the process
