SOUNDEXCHANGE & PERFORMING RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS | MUSIC STREAMING ROYALTIES 101

[@tyniacoats]

WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT MUSIC STREAMING ROYALTIES OR MUSIC STREAMING SERVICES? Let me know! :)

[@martinoramos8580]

I commented on another one of your posts so you might see this twice lol Tynia this was very informative. I'm glad a person like you exists because I been very indecisive on which PRO to choose. I have a question for you. How do splits work between both companies. In my situation I have created a song I am very proud of and I'd like to release it soon; however, I want to receive my royalties properly. There is a female artist on the song so that's one split, and there's a person that made the beat. That's the other split, and of course I am on this song as well. Is there an option to split in three or? I do hope to hear back from you soon. You are excellent at explaining things.

[@tyniacoats]

@@martinoramos8580 I am glad I am helping you! What do you mean by "how do splits work between both companies"? To answer your other question, yes you can split a song between 3 writers/producers. You can split a song between as many people as you want. I have a video that explains this & gives examples, it's called "Songwriting Royalties vs Publishing Royalties". If you watch that one, you'll see!

[@atuvelman]

Hi Tynia great video as always. I have a question about the soundexchange video- they say 50% goes to the record label- how does this differ if you are not on a record label, and are an independent artist?

[@tyniacoats]

@@atuvelman if you are an independent artist, then you can create your own company & collect the share for the label.

Saw your other video about BMI and ASCAP...so I choose BMI and after checking this video I registered with SoundExchange + SoundTrust. Appreciate This Information!

I mean I'm definitely trying! But thanks Josh! I'm just trying to get on your level where I can make posts too, not just videos lol.

[@robinbongos]

You are wonderful. Thank you for these videos.

[@JerichoLaw27]

Your videos are so helpful thanks for putting these out!

[@KriosRecordsLLC]

Honestly I had trouble figuring out which video to post this on. I decided on this one. You may not know this, but you are re-writing the script on what it means to provide good honest information on a subject. I have scoured KZbin for months to get a definitive answer to almost every subject you have touched in your videos. Great Job! Please continue to do what you do. I am a subscriber and bell ringer for sure. I also belong to a Berklee FB group that would benefit from this information. I shared the link to that group. I will post some actual questions on another thread. Later!

[@tyniacoats]

Oh wow thank you so much for taking the time to share that with me & for sharing it with the Berklee FB group! It truly makes me so happy to hear that I am helping you out. I really love helping people & since music is such an important part of my life, I love that I can help musicians. Working at BMI, I saw a lot of musicians' business being mishandled & it was always due to a lack of knowledge. The music industry is super complicated, so it is not a surprise, but I just want you guys to get what you deserve & not get taken advantage of.

[@KriosRecordsLLC]

@@tyniacoats Absolutely! So, I went with Songtrust and picked BMI. Does the same thing apply with BMI as it does with ASCAP? Meaning, do I need to now go over to BMI and register as publisher as well or will Songtrust handle it. My next question is ( and you may have answered this ): Is it recommended to sign up with multiple music libraries?

[@tyniacoats]

@@KriosRecordsLLC No, with BMI you don't have to sign up as a publisher unless you want your own publisher account for specific reasons. SongTrust will submit registrations for your songs with them as the publishing administrator. I advise always checking on what they register for you though, make sure the registrations are always tied to your BMI account# & IPI#. As for signing up with multiple music libraries, if they can get you multiple placements then go right ahead! More $$ for you! :)

[@tyniacoats]

Lol you're not that late, a lot of musicians don't know about Sound Exchange! I thought I was late when I learned about them years ago, but they're still relatively new for a business of their kind. & I cannot thank you enough for that! The best compliment is to recommend & refer my channel to other! Thank you! :) Are you on IG?

A car crash while I was home on leave from from Fort Lee Virginia in 2009 took my left side peripheral vision, my right ear^s cochlear and crushed the bones taking my stereo perception.

Can music producers sign up for SoundExchange also?

[@SilverWolf941]

I recently got approved for BMI and was trying to use the works registration application, but when I click on it, it says you do not have access to this application.

I was wondering if you could help provide some insight to why this is? Also how would I check my ipi or cae number?

Also what did you mean by Soundexchange has a higher royalty rate? Were you referring to the frequency of payment? Appreciate your time and willingness to spread important info for artists like myself. Love the energy. Very helpful. :)

[@NileMusicTV]

Hi Tynia, I heard a rumor that if a musician goes through their distribution (UnitedMaster would be the one) then there is no need to sign up with SoundExchange since the distributor already collects those same royalties and that there would be conflict between the two. Is this true? Appreciate the wisdom you're sprinkling on us viewers 💯

How about a single payout from a management company for an instrumental radio ad spot, do I need that agent for my catalog? they are very well known and very big and handle everyone from famous authors to chefs to big name touring music acts, I’m starting to think I started at the wrong place

[@driven39]

Do I really need "Songtrust" if I'm already signed up for BMI and Sound Exchange?

[@sontwisted]

Yes BMI and sound exchange dont collect publishing

[@jab2ez]

Is there any way to be recognized by the government as a collection agency for royalties? Or is there a way to track your own information?

[@tyniacoats]

It is EXTREMELY difficult to track your own royalties, borderline impossible. You can, however, enter into direct licensing agreements with certain streaming platforms so then the royalties get paid directly to you. The big platforms definitely have strict criteria for that though.

[@jab2ez]

@@tyniacoats So how exactly does that work? We would just draw up an agreement on how much we are going to pay each artist?

[@jab2ez]

@@tyniacoats Moreover, let's say I have a radio station or something, would I just pay ASCAAP and BMI a fee per month to play whatever I want.

[@AnonymousAnonymous-rp2de]

Awesome videos Tynia! You are very informative and straight to the point! I have one question how does BMI track artist royalties if they don’t require the actual song. Do I need to inform the song distributor I upload music to that I’m with BMI? Can you please elaborate this!! Blessings sista !! 😘

[@tyniacoats]

BMI is able to track royalties through your song registrations, which is why it is very important that you register your songs correctly with them! Most music platforms use fingerprint technology to track the songs on their platforms and then the title/artist info of that song is linked to that fingerprint & then the music platforms report this to BMI. There are other ways as well, but that's for a whole other video! For your distributor question, I will be sure to address that in my digital distribution company vs publishing administrator video coming out in 2 weeks! & thank you! :)

Hey Tynia, I just watch your video... Great Video, but I did have a question??? OK, I released my music and I did get paid by Sound Exchange, but I haven't received any royalty payments from my PRO (BMI) and everytime I check it says "There are no statements for the account":. And it's been years, 2013.... My Work Title, My BMI Work # and all of the information checks out. Does this sound normal can this happen or do you think something is up??? And yes, I own all the rights... I wrote it and I'm the artist and I own the label and publishing company.... Your thoughts please, Thank You for your time....

[@jhonn475]

QUESTION: I'm an independent artist who buys premium license beats online. I'm the songwriter and recording/performing artist for all my songs as far as the lyrics are concern. The producer of course is the songwriter for the instrumental. Can I claim sound recording royalties through sound exchange and other platforms ? NOTE: I know the beat license agreement varies per contract but for the sake of argument with a premium beat license in my case I can do anything with the beat, except the beat will continue getting sold because I did not purchase an exclusive license. NOTE: The reason why I'm asking is because when going through copyright.gov the page says that because I did not create the entire art (the lyrics & instrumental) for the song, that I can only file for a Performing Arts copyright and not a Sound Recording copyright. Thanks in advance.
