      We moved from CDBaby a few years back when we signed with Symphonic Distribution. Lifetime distribution and no fees. We just moved our catlog over to their platform. At that time their business model was that you had to be accepted into their distribution instead of the DIY paid model. They just recently opened their platform to the DIY community. They're a lot like AWAL is for you. Marketing and label services. But, CDBaby flat out has more inclusive services at a good price that no other company can match hands down.

    Ryan, do a comparison between CD Baby and Tunecore for a RUclips video.. Currently Gayle's song ABCDEFU has just over one billion streams on Spotify. Now before she released that song she was one of tens of thousands singer/songwriters in Nashville. For the amount of streams she has now what amount will she pay CD Baby? Do the comparison between CD Baby and Tunecore.

  • @stephenjclement
    @stephenjclement 11 месяцев назад +6

    What are your thoughts on them also taking 40% of sync placements, 30% of RUclips, Instagram, and Facebook, and 15% of publishing royalties? For folks who aren’t making much money off of their music, it seems like a great deal, but for those who are bringing in a larger income, these seem like steep percentage cuts. How do these compare with AWAL and others?

    • @christophegoze
      @christophegoze 11 месяцев назад +9

      Awal and Cd baby are not publishers and not synch placement companies. they offer the service because they have some connections and probably have demand from partners. I work with publishers (and have a few contracts around the world) and also work for some of major UK synch companies. I get a lot of synch from them around the world while I get zero from AWAL ... I would forget about digital distribution companies when it comes to publishing and synch. Now , a good publisher would take around 30 % of your incomes for publishing your work world wide . and a good synch company takes 50 % of license fee and performing fee (when they also are the publisher of the work) . That's very standard fee around the world. So in that sense , AWAL and CD baby are cheaper. They just dont do the job right :)

They will then only distribute your tracks and nothing else and therefore not take any share on any of those incomes. That's what I do with them . @@stephenjclement

      You basically just have to release the songs or albums through your new distributor of choice. What's very important here: Do not change the metadata! Artists name, song/album name, artwork, and especially the UPC code and ISRC code provided by your previous distributor have to be the same!! Get all this information and then release it through your new distributor, but hold on to it with your old distributor. Wait a few day or so and take it off your old distributor. There has to be a short overlap. Don't take it off your previous distributor before you release it with your new one again.
      It is also possible to have two different distributors IF it's NOT the the same release of course. You can release your first single with one distributor, and your second one with another for example.
      There are a lot of videos online about this also tho if you feel like you need more information :3

    Why are they giving out these deals! Probably finding difficultly attracting new indie Artists to rip off.

    9.99 for an album is fair but 9.99 for a single is
    Overpriced

    @jerrypalmer3534 11 месяцев назад

    The pricing is because from what I understand Distrokid cost is about 20 bucks for the year...doesn't matter how much you upload..Maybe I'm wrong ..but I don't think so...

    Gotta say, pretty “Yellow pages” title, especially since most of us got so disappointed in basically every brand out there.
    So when we hear something “unreal” is happening we think it’s gonna be pretty bad rather than anything good.
    Good vid otherwise.

    they take 9% of your royalties tho, so even if they charged $0, it would still be a bad deal.

      @@VibeWalker i mean, if you’re getting 0 streams, they would take $0.00 from you haha, but once you start getting into millions, it kind of becomes noticeable and annoying, cause you’re really paying them for NOTHING.

      I definitely wouldn't expect my distribution company to do anything other than what I'm paying them for. Which is to distribute my music. Marketing, promo tours, podcast interviews, etc...that's on the artist. 😂
