Record labels are an outdated concept in 2020. The only thing an artist should focus on is his music and if he makes a masterpiece hit he should get all the royalties for his hard work and hustle.
@@kirkstate I was saying if your not monetize on RUclips with a thousand subs distro doesn't do content ID for rap so you losing out on that Portion of money. But the guy inbox me and said they do now. He said it's in the song registration drop down box at the bottom but I got to check myself .
It's crazy that last week I sole my first beat to a friend for 50 bucks and yesterday I was wondering how can I make money of my music next. BOOM, this video is posted! Thanks again!
Man, bolo. Thanks! Great video. You got me starting with producing (with beatmaker 3) and I appreciate every upload. Keep the quality content coming, please!!
Man...I don't know how I'm just finding your channel..smh...you keep dropping "gems"...I've been out of the loop for a long time...This is the second time I've heard of this, since I decided to get back into the game...It's time for me to take advantage of that platform...Thanks bro....
Yep! Ludacris has been an independent artist with Distrokid for a few years. They must be good for him to use them for all of his music and his DTP label.
Good video. I got my new Royalties a few days ago. For some reason Distrokid only payed me out for like a quarter of the streams for September. Last month it was the same and I thought I’ll get the rest this month but I got even less. That’s quite frustrating because I got a lot streams last month with Spotify algorithm playlists. Hope you can help me ✌🏻
Absolutely agree! For distribution DistroKid is great. Great review. It's our vision to create a platform where music producers can start to build their own audience and business around their passion of music production without having to run their own website, marketing etc. Right now you can sell Sample Packs, Presets, Beats, Templates and Stock Music or even sell a monthly memberships for your audience and unlock items for your paying members. Keep it up!
DistroKid is a scam, they say you keep 100% but you only keep 70% US businesses have to abide by US tax laws, therefore they have to withhold 30% of your royalties. If you want to ACTUALLY keep 100% of your royalties check out antijoy.club?aff=love2hard4me
In India ,, BOLO means "SPEAK" 😁 ,, you're speaking facts fo real bro .... 🌴🌴🌴🌴 It would be great if you can make a video with guidance of uploading BEATS only .... 🎩🎩🎩🎩
1) You have just shown up right when I’m ready to start uploading to distrokid. Been learning the MPCLIVE since 2019 to transition back into production, wrote 300+ songs in 2020 and now I am just looking at my learnings... excited for the potential earnings. 2) Your merch made me laugh out loud. I hope they are in stock, because I’m making a purchase. ha 3) Thank you for your vids. Finally gunna subscribe. Thanks and peace to you and yours. :-)
My question as a producer, how can a producer have a artist page or is it a such thing as a producer page on spotify?. I made tracks for artists that I own. How can i put the tracks on my page so i also get promoted as a brand and not my artist page alone. platforms like distrokid and tunecore creates pages for artist and not producers.
Bolo respect to you brother and God blessings.when I release my beats on distrokid should I put tag on them! Appreciate if you could tell me the right thing to do . Thank you brother
PointReazonTV yes sir i has to delete the songs cuz I’m starting fresh an I am partnering up with South Coast Music Group still finna use distrokid dropping my album this year
So is there a way I can track the songs on distro kid that are being monetized without me? ( producer ) I know that artist are taking my beats and uploading and taking everything
Hey does distro post music on radio platforms as well? I was wondering because when it say that it's been sent to their platforms, but its been like 6 months. They did post my music on things like spotify, google play, amazon, and a couple of others, but the radio platforms I check haven't uploaded them.
Question, What is the difference between CD-Baby and DistroKid? CD Baby does not charge a fee. Do you know what the break down is when you sell a song on Itunes? if i sell a song for 99cents how much do i get from DistroKid on that sell?
Thanks for all the concise information , I have always just been a guitarist , you have answered the biggest questions I had. P.S. I think Ferrari's are hideous, I'm aiming for that 53 Studebaker Commander 😆
Bolo how does it differ from Tunecore? How is it better? Will I still need a curator to get on Spotify and/or Pandora? Love your videos! Maybe we can collab one day! U ROCK!
o e question tho...what if a rapper or singer hears and wants my beat...and want to record with it...?...its out of my hands or do i still need to converse with them...or once they download it...they own it?...i hope these ???dont sound too crazzy bit just asking thank you.in advance for any help.
I had distrokid then I deleted my account because I couldn't downgrade to a lower tier. I didn't make enough to justify keeping the label tier. I do think I will go back and get the 2 artist plan. Even if I just have some beats and instrumentals, would it be beneficial to just upload them?
I'll like to ask these questions what if I put my beats through distrokid and an artist downloads the beat and uses it without my permission what can I do about that? and how can I prevent that from happening please?
2 Question my friend I have a Beat Store website. is there a link I can add my Beats store to on distrokid. My second question if you don't mind. Should I leave my voice tags throughout my instrumental on distrokid or not. Then provide them with a link to my Beat store to purchase them for Leasing and exclusive rights. Thanks
@@prod.gregupnext2958 bro I have a question what if an artist uses the beat without your permission I mean download your beat from the platform and uses it without your permission how can you go about it?
Great insight sir🙏🏾I’m new to it all but I needed to ask… I rap on unlimited beats I purchased am I okay to distribute with distrokid!? Can I upload features to be paid also when performing on others tracks… Is this a substitute for bmi etc? Thanks in advance family
Bolo D - Will Distro Kid keep up with the number of times that a song is *played on the radio* - to determine pay per radio play - pay? If not what program will and what is its price?
i love this...but aside from selling beat tapes i dont see much a beat maker can do with the platform . then once u start getting a tone of placements ect beats get sold then what do u have to pull the song out of everything??
Sup bro bolo. I have a question. I wanna sign up as 1 musician using my name. But there are songs that are recorded as "band name". It's basically a 1 man band (with session drummer & bassist) -- songs written arranged produced by me. And there are songs recorded with my name. Is it gonna cause problems concerning title and artist name on distro and Spotify? I got an artist profile on Spotify using my name already.
Great info! What if the producer put out a beat through Distrokid but the an artist wants to use it? How does the splits work? Or should the artist use it at all?
This will be a good time to discuss points, many artists don't want to give up points to producers, but if you had ANYTHING to do with the song I fight for my points on publishing as well as creation.
this was dope and i like the studio set-up man very tight. im still a little confused bout distrokid i mean im sure they dont collect everything i mean if they did be no reason for P.R.O's and places like sound exchange ect...also, with the whole way distrokid has it designed say u have a standard account . if u using the team feature dont that mean u can basically work with as many artist as u want?? like does it mean u can only distribute ur work with 1 other artist and/or band?? not bad but seems limiting
I don’t care about the money/recognition it will come. I’m just grateful I have a place that I can upload my music to the world. -Ray
I'm with you Ray Smith, dropped a project every month since the year started and just started seeing traffic and it's paying off.
BatesStreet Boogie love it.. it’s all about the journey..
Amen brother
I agree. The money will come if you stay with it. Salute
💯💯💯
Oh shittt! I didnt know exactly who you were until I heard your producer tag!! Definitely tuned in now 💯
Record labels are an outdated concept in 2020. The only thing an artist should focus on is his music and if he makes a masterpiece hit he should get all the royalties for his hard work and hustle.
Distrokid is the way to go..I held off for a long time then i took a chance with my label in January and its paying off already.
what about content ID Distro dont do that so they take your youtube money
@@DeeBanga are you saying the RUclips payout from Distrokid is different?
@@kirkstate I was saying if your not monetize on RUclips with a thousand subs distro doesn't do content ID for rap so you losing out on that Portion of money. But the guy inbox me and said they do now. He said it's in the song registration drop down box at the bottom but I got to check myself .
@@DeeBanga wait so what's the best way to go about it? get monetized on RUclips (1k subs), then sign up with DistroKid?
@@reupramon9407 SO MAYBE THAT IS HOW THEY ARE ABEL TO GIVE AWAY SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE RUclips MONEY.
It's crazy that last week I sole my first beat to a friend for 50 bucks and yesterday I was wondering how can I make money of my music next. BOOM, this video is posted! Thanks again!

I mean he has a distribution deal probably gets additional perks

Thanks Bolo. Might hop on this and start uploading to spotify instead of SoundCloud. This might give me some motivation to finish beats and projects.

Not that I know of
@AssuredCertitude SongTrust registration
Do a video on promotion and marketing. You gotta promote the Distrokid link
does distrokid the copyright thing of the songs for the artist? or the artist has to do it before giving distrokid the songs?
All facts

You can split rights on Distrokid and also with your CMO/PRO once you register the song. Just make sure you have their ID and yours.

Does Distrokid handle splits?
Teams. Just got to it. Thanks for the info bro 💯
I just signed up. Quick question...can the Focusrite Scarlett record live guitars into Beatmaker 3?
Yes
Kirk State I have it setup but it doesn’t recognize it in the audio settings. It works in Cubasis 3 though.
