Hey Ari I have a question, I’m currently working on an album with another artist. We are splitting everything 50/50, but he uses Distrokid and I use tune core. Is that going to make it more difficult to split the royalties? And what’s the best way to go about this? Thank you.
Get yourself distrokid or tell him to get tunecore. I'm a producer and do have both of them because not everyone has both. As a producer, it makes more sense for me.
The problem with that is that those other people also have to have an account set up with the same distributor as you even if they don't release any music themselves. This doesn't make financial sense.
@manduluca3968 Exactly. The artists become a cash cow for them unfortunately. I realise that it's still better than in the old days when only record companies could actually release music. But still, a lot needs to change.
Writers should be added. It’s a joke that has a writer you could have 100 million streams (like me) and receive next to nothing as you’re not entitled to master rights.
When I use CDB as a distributor, it allows me to input songwriters, but I don’t see anywhere allows me to list band members that split master recording ownership. Am I missing something? For example, if I wrote the song myself, but I want to split master recording ownership three ways,

Yeah okay Mr ghost writer

@ I think there’s usually one person or company that owns that master recording. They then pay out the shares
@@Isai-wy4pq why yeah ok? It’s not ok. Writers should be paid for creating a streaming hit
