[@djskooda]

I have heard good things about them, hows the pricing?

[@divine_architek]

@@official88beats the pricing is subscription based with the cheapest being $20 a year but that includes unlimited album/ep/single uploads and you get put on all the major stores and over 100 little stores.

"I look at us as a community" RESPECT

[@BEATZBYDDUDE]

I kind of feel ripped off @88beats . I purchased the publishing tunecore and when I went to begin to try and register my beats in the compilation manager it was confusing. It asks to list the song name ? Do I put what my beat is called? Or what the artist who purchased the beat plans to call it? It wants performing artist name? Do I put my producer name or the artist who is going to use it? What if the beat hasn’t been purchased yet ? Who am I putting ? It wants an isrc number ? All I have is the BMI work number and Iswc number . This to me looks like what the artist is suppose to use not the producer . So unless you didn’t just puersuade 100s of producers to purchase tunecore in order to drive sales, can you please make a follow up video on how to actually register the beat step by step with the view point of the beat has just been made and not already purchased by an artist. Thank you

That's right Brodie, You stay dropping knowledge 💎

[@official88beats]

👌

[@AbelBeats]

I have a publishing and songwriter account with ASCAP, which should I use when registering with TuneCore? I would say my publishing account is my primary because I use it more as far as giving the IPI number for that account when artist ask my ASCAP info.

[@official88beats]

When you are completing the application on tunecore it might specify one or the other, if it does not use whatever you want. I think it might ask for songwriters IPI/CAE

[@LyVeCuttz]

And Songtrust is one to if you can do a video on that

Thanks 🙏 bro I’m still don’t get 💯 but im watch you other videos

[@gold_mine_beats]

​ 88Beats How does this work? Tunecore Pub. Only allows you to name the track/beat and add ISRC but not upload the track to fingerprint it. How do you know when someone is using the beat and you'll earn royalties. Tunecore's distribution is expensive. $10 a beat I use Landr.com to get in stores. 88Beats can you answer this or do a video?

[@official88beats]

Tunecore allows you to split but you need to contact them, it isn’t an easy process and YES they are expensive. I have switched to distrokid as I started a label, I am making a new video soon about my label and the process so look out for that! Use what works for you, if you havent looked into distrokid yet do so.

[@gold_mine_beats]

​@@official88beats Well I use Landr.com for distribution and TuneCore and BMI for Publishing. Thanks @88Beats !!

[@reeseymuney]

great video bro i just subbed

[@DaveFore_AudioEngineering]

I am using a private distributor and can upload unlimited tracks for free. I'm also using Songtrust for PA and have writer and publisher accts with ASCAP. If I release beats through my distributor which generate an ISRC code but how do the PAs and PROs actually go about tracking my beats when they are used by another artist? Is it through some kind of song ID (a la Shazam) that monitors and looks for that beat within the song?

[@LESURELOVE]

I've been leasing beats and question do the beatmaker get paid from the streams on my song or do they just get the money I paid for the beat and %50 of the publishing? Or do we split the streaming money too

[@traviidevan6794]

Ive been wanting an answer to this for the longest

[@skeeo]

The beatmaker still gets publishing and writer shares.. depending on the contract, will depict the percentage

[@nyacoustics8373]

what is the cut if some artist blows up with your beat on you tube? is it an automatic 50 percent as the composer?

[@alexanderita]

Do you always need an isrc code?

[@keepingfitness727]

Step 1 make the song and save as wav or mp3. Step 2 . Upload the wav to ASCAP or bmi. Step 3. Upload to a site like tune core I am then ready to upload beat for the world to hear? Please help and correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks bud.

[@dayosonictv]

Before you put your beat on site register with PROs, on tunecore to get pub admin to collect royalties for me . So 2 payments, 1 payment for digital distribution the other payment is for publish admin royalty collector on my behalf world wide .

[@thedanger_]

Can I do this with beats that I have already posted on youtube and beatstore?

[@theprezenz]

Other question: How should we use content ID if we upload our beats on YT and lease them on Beatstars? Some producers (like dj pain1) don't put CID on their beats cause the moment an artist uploads a song with a beat of them (using an agreggator to put CID on it) the producer will get a copyright claim on his own beat on YT. That way the producer knows who have used his beat and can reach out to the artist and check if he has purchased a license or not. But in this case he can't monetize views of that song with his beat. Or should we put CID on all our beats first before we upload it on YT? In that case the artist gets the claim, whether or not he bought it. You can monetize his views if he didn't bought the beat or whitelist him if he bought it. I don't know, what do you recommend?

[@rolley2x288]

That’s crazy the whole time I thought I needed the artist isrc code to register the song

[@LESURELOVE]

Is songtrust better then tunecore for publishing?

[@official88beats]

Good question! I have yet to compare!

[@theprezenz]

Very interesting to see this procedure as my PRO from Belgium doesn't seem to have this option. Now correct me if I'm wrong. 1. I came across several videos from DJ pain1 who's saying that there's no problem registering your beats with a PRO but there's no point either. As PRO's are intended to collect performance rights, changes are pretty small that your beat will get performed on radio, television, clubs, restaurants, public venues etc... What's your opinion about that? Am I missing something? 2 So from the moment the artist adds the work registration number of your beat when he's registering the song on BMI, BMI can make the link with your beat in their database, right? 3 if the artist fails to do that and won't reply on your mails, is it necessary to use a dmca takedown or let your publishing company handle this case?

[@orangegab06]

Great vid! But is registering all my beats with the copyright office a must must? Cuz I'm planning on making and selling multiple beats per week and copyrighting each beat would end up being so expensive.....

[@SkyraXD]

This is a great video I appreciate your videos they have helped me alot. 🙏🏾 so Tunecore publishing is like a Pub Admin? Similar to SongTrust? From what I learned buisness wise to collect all royalties I'm using the %s as examples. 1.Bmi or Ascap or Seasac(50%) 2.Soundexchange(20%) 3.Pub admin(30%) 4. Syncs is different still looking into it but KZbin Content ID?

[@SkyraXD]

Correct me if I'm wrong? Or do I have It all down?

[@JustTom88]

If I lease a beat from a composer, and in their agreement it says they own 100% publishing, does this mean they own 100% publishing of Just the instrumental beat or does that mean they own 100% publishing of the song you create using their leased beat? If they do not write the lyrics, melodies, mix and master the "new song" what would they own as far as publishing?

[@xtremeboyka4322]

I think you have to buy this beats exclusively in terms of getting your release officially out and then for publishing deal will be 50-50% for writer and composer (also mention as writer on paper work). Look, if you are making an exclusive deal then % are totally depends on the other party you are making deal with so carefully read the whole papers or get a lawyer to read the agreement so you won't make any bad decisions. i hope this helps! i'm also a producer. you can follow me on insta for instrumentals - @platinumboyka.

What if you don't have a studio an you got a riddim an put artist on it how you make back money

[@TommyTrentonJr]

What do i do if someone ripped my beat then published it with their lyrics? Someone stole my beat and did this lol.

[@monauralconcerto6600]

I've looked up that, if you have proof of ownership, that you are the OG copyright owner, you can file a DMCA takedown claim and have songs taken down if you feel they violated your copyrights. I'd suggest looking into "Filing a DMCA takedown" on Google if you want to have a song taken down, that includes your original beat. Hope that helps bro ✌🏼

[@foepoundmcginnis6322]

Ive got a question. So if a rapper buys your beat and they want to register the song with a PRO and lets say they are with BMI, how would you be able to be apart of the registration and collect royalties if your with ASCAP? On both the songwriter and pub side

[@official88beats]

You would upload the works on your end and if using BMI your total splits available is 200% at that time you’d put composer at 100% or whatever you agreed on. On his end he would register the works as the song writer at 50% (ascap uses 100% max splits) Add your works as close to the performance dates as you can, don’t do it after cause then you will miss out on some money.

[@foepoundmcginnis6322]

Almost! The important stuff if you are shopping your beats online to artists. This doesn’t help you obtain A&R Solicitation rights which is important!

[@telmurcio9192]

I've done royalty-free music for last year and also some Electronic Music tracks I released later using Distrokid. All of these works were registered on BMI. Distrokid have helped me with the store sales and streams and that was it. At this point, I'm considering producing and leasing beats, and as I'm gathering the much info as I could before drawing a plan of action, I might want to add those previous works to the Tunecore Publishing database. Is that possible, even tho they have been distributed via Distrokid? In the meanwhile, super clear information! Great video!

[@official88beats]

Good question but to my knowledge no, because once you use distrokid they track that record and if it is uploaded again it usually will be removed. But I would ask them direct. Leasing beats is a good side hustle, all of my videos are from that perspective. Leasing and getting extra money from placements.

[@TIMESAUCE6]

So for example if I get a placement with drake or any big artists , all I would need is to just follow everything in this video right ?

[@raymondthompson7899]

[@dougsamples406]

Your 1 on 1 site does work

[@monauralconcerto6600]

Dope info. Questions! So a lot of producers lease beats and in the contract say that the beat can be for profit. For profit for physical sales, and ALSO streaming sales? How do you allow a person who leased your beat to profit from streaming. Or allow it to be monetizable by them, when you're automatically setup with your own PRO and Pub. Agency? Is there options to permit leasers to monetize to a certain extent, without relying on their honesty? Do you get notified then can permit monetization to a person who leased your beat? Like some producer contracts suggest.. Is this a bad business model? Any insight is appreciated! You seem to be the most knowledgeable on YT about this shit ✌🏼 Do you say in the contract something like " track can be monetized if you split the ownership 50-50, or how does that work? I overthink and seem confused.

[@official88beats]

This is because they don’t understand what they are selling. Quick answer they are wrong. All my beats i lease are for demo use only and SoundCloud non profit, just testing tracks. Most producers just say use for streaming etc. which is ok but if they protect it and you can’t then you are entitled to your money back. This leasing game has gotten very bad.

[@th3hivebeatz912]

Hi, Thank you so much for sharing this infos. Respect you so much. I have a question. what do you use to track your beat data? I'm leasing a beat through Beatstars and I'm not sure how to remove the beat when the leasing contract ends. any good 3rd party(I know Soundscan) websites to use? ex) 5years lease contract ends and how can I remove them all? have to contact each person who bought my beat? it would be really helpful if you know any websites to chase the contract.

[@official88beats]

Im confused, if you create the beat (composer) and lease to an artist, their rights to your works expire at 5 years. You own it, and continue to lease it out. No need to remove anything.

[@th3hivebeatz912]

true, but would the artist remove the beat from their platform by them own?@@official88beats

Hi! Thanks for the video! Please explain to me how to configure tunecore with my KZbin channel ? I am tired of this process.... I did everything on instruction and when I try to connect it’s says Set your KZbin preferences below. Tell us your KZbin channel and if you want to whitelist (exclude) this channel from sound recording monetization. Refer here to find out what it means to “whitelist” your channel. When I try to click to connect its says Your channel has been saved, but you need to configure it before you can monetize. You can find instructions on how to configure your KZbin channel here...... Please help me Thanks

[@official88beats]

You have to setup your monetization under youtube settings. It will take you to create a google adsense account. Then back to KZbin to link them. You’ll need to input tax info and stuff to set it up. KZbin also won’t let you do this anymore until you reach a certain amount of subscribers and watch time.
