Appreciate you sharing your understanding, tips and ideas on NFT's! Especially good idea to suggest developers to create a verification database algorithm to help secure one's NFT from copyright. Exciting times! Most of us artists, dj's, producers are constantly riding the cutting edge... THIS is one of those waves we don't want to miss.
Brand new to this NFT game. Rookie question. I just minted my first NFT with a download link to the full song. I haven’t released the song on streaming services. Should I release the song on Spotify etc. or does that devalue the NFT? Not sure how else to promote the song/NFT.
I would say yes upload it to streaming services, mostly to protect yourself so no one uploads your track as their own. As far as the NFT I would say provide some other special perk or Collab with a digital artist to make a cool artwork for your NFT
Remember that even with the NFT, copyright still applies. Check your local intellectual property rules as well. If you want the governing bodies to help you keep your rights... you've got to register and in countries like Japan, you've got to pay the governing bodies (JASRAC). It's kinda like protection money, but hopefully it evolves.
Let the record show this was my first ever NFT tutorial….Ill try to remember to reply to this comment after I start rolling to thank you again bc clearly this information is EXTREMELY valuable…until then, heres the first: THANK YOU MAN 🙏🏾😔
Just a quick question. Can I still mint a music NFT even if it's currently out on all Music Streaming Platforms? Or do I have to retract it from my distributor first before making it as an NFt? Thanks.
Awesome video, thanks for the breakdown. I just have two questions i would like your take on. 1.) Should we be careful of uploading beats that have a sample from another song? Or just specify that it contains a sample & its their responsibility to get the sample cleared for their own use? I guess this would also fall under the same situation as if you use an image from pinterest as a part of your edited beat artwork, wonder if thats an issue selling as an NFT. 2.) Can we not still lease the beat on BeatStars but then sell a 1/1 (almost like an exclusive) on OpenSea? would love to hear your take thanks!
I am now a huge fan of MVerse, a music platform that uses blockchain technology to improve how music is consumed and monetized. If you are interested, you can do some research to find out more about it.
As of right now, nothing. But by minting your own beats you have proof of ownership if you find someone else stole your beat and minted it you easily prove you are the original minter.
Can i sell a beat as NFT if I’m already leasing it on Beatstars? If so, what does it happen if someone buy that beat on exclusive soon after? How can they get ownership of the NFT as well?
There should definitely be more ideas being implemented for protecting music creators. Every single piece of music gets put into the blockchain and given its own unique ID number of some sort so it can’t be replicated. Lifetime royalties of the original creator at a certain percentage. Maybe someone can create music deals as smart contracts as protection from getting screwed over. All kinds of stuff.
What if I lease a beat to make a song, how does the existing license affect that, or how do I pay whats owed to the beatmaker or ensure I dont get sued?? Plz respond! I love nfts and want to make an album, but cant afford exclusive rights and even when I do some still have a 50-50 split on derivatives. Or some have time limits, hiw do we get that to work without being sued?
maybe a dumb question but can't u just buy beats from websites (like shadowville for example) with al the rights included and upload it yourself as an NFT? Basically I would look like the producer while just buying the beats from another platform?
I guess you can but it would have to be the exclusive license where you're buying the beat out so you have all the rights. Not sure I would recommend it also not sure it would be profitable since most of those exclusive licenses are like 1500-5000 dollars if not more. I recommend you mint your own beats (You have all the rights and its your creation)
Recently i started composing an album with copyright ofcourse to distribute it on tunecore , but i have a question. I have read few stuff about nft music. There is something that makes me little bit confused . Even if i made a copyright on my songs that i have composed , am I allowed to post it into nft to invest in them or they should be without copyright and they are already published in streaming website ? Or nft it is like selling your ideas , is that what it is for only ?
copyrighting your music is always a good practice and that shouldnt stop you from turning your songs into NFTs. Think of NFTs as a way to turn your songs into collectables or a way to provide extra perks to your songs (VIP access, Merch, etc)
You mention the ownership aspect, how can one really be safe-guarded without registering your works with a PRO (PRS, ASCAP etc.). As you mentioned anyone can rip a track, surely the only solid protection you have is to register your music? Which prompts the question, if someone was to 'leak' an unreleased album through creating an NFT - how would the affected party dispute this?
You can def do collabs but as of right now OpenSea doesn’t have a way to split the pay. I did a collab with a digital artist where I made a beat and he made the visuals and we just had a deal when it sells he would pay me half. So he minted it and when it sold he transferred half of the sale ETH to my wallet. I really hope someday Opensea does this automatically
im hoping the buying community would understand the illegtimacy of owning a "plagurised" peice of music. or atleast understsand the value behind owning a rop off over the original.
You can always do that :) NFT is a new space and it works differently. Turning your beats into a collectable that you earn royalties on every time it gets sold is just another way to make money as a musician / producer
Why list it at such a low price, (0.03). How did you come to that number to start your listing?? I would imagine since you are selling your hard earned work, you’d want to start the listing at a higher amount. Any tips on this would be much appreciated! Great video otherwise!
Thanks man! Because I want it sold and focus on volume since there are a lot of NFT flippers who would like to buy low and sell high because when they sell I still get royalties from the NFT. I set my royalties to 10% so every time the NFT gets sold I get 10% of that sale
no more beat jacking! beautiful!!

A painter, not a musician, but your vid helped me get started with art nfts. Thanks Adil!

i need a mentor for sure!!!
Very nice. My young son is interested in nfts. I will pass your video off to him
Thank you 😊

Yo thank you! Best of luck with NFTs
I mean if there is a time stamp though, how could someone else mint it? Would t you just need to refer back to time stamp of original mint?
Great content man! Where is the link of the discord channel?

I need the same answers. I want to drop an nft album but use leased beats.
Wow - Thanks for the demo!
My pleasure :)
Thank you for sharing. Super informative. Going to hit the lab, & cook up, so I can start a collection
Great video Adil !! Extremely informative.
Thank you Shravan, glad you found it helpful :)
I love the suggestion about the original audio recognition Thank you. Shazam where you at???
Right? 🙌🏼
I am now a huge fan of MVerse, a music platform that uses blockchain technology to improve how music is consumed and monetized. If you are interested, you can do some research to find out more about it.
What's to stop someone minting someone else's beat? I don't see how minting proves ownership.
As of right now, nothing. But by minting your own beats you have proof of ownership if you find someone else stole your beat and minted it you easily prove you are the original minter.
Dude…! All I can say is thanks! I definitely subbed and I truly appreciate the thorough quality and walk through of getting started brody thanks!
Ayy thanks so much for the feedback and for the sub. Glad you found it helpful :)
@@AdilConstantineMusic yes sir man keep it up!
HOW HARD WOULD IT BE TO MAKE A TOKEN WITH A UTILITY LIKE SHAZAM?
thats a helpful video mate,
i have a query that can I list the same audio file as a nft on different websites like opensea, rarible, etc. ?
Can i sell a beat as NFT if I’m already leasing it on Beatstars? If so, what does it happen if someone buy that beat on exclusive soon after? How can they get ownership of the NFT as well?
what if you want to sell your nft for less than 0.03 ETH?
Awesome man, thank you!
My pleasure :)
Should i only have to pay gas fee one time, after that can i put further nfts on sale for free ?
Ty

If you can’t buy exclusive then I recommend collaborate with a producer / beat maker on an NFT album where you set your splits from NFTs
I'm a songwriter how can I sell my song on NFT without recording it?
Great content! Need more guys like you in my circle. Get at us! Let’s change the future!
metamask doesn't work on firefox?
No as of today (07/05/2021) its just Chrome, iOS & Android

@@AdilConstantineMusic thank you so much , that's all I need to know 😁
Copyright your music first that’s how you’ll protect yourself.. You have to upload your Muh when you do so it’s all covered
NFT Beats 🎧 🔥 🔥 🔥
🙌🏼 Your crystal card is in the vid 😃
@@AdilConstantineMusic I saw that ❄️
um you had an awesome idea lol if i build it i will hit you up. working on a bunch of nft crypto projects right now
Dude! Hit me up for real
I just uploaded my music video sadly I just out 1 eth for the price..I try to remove it but there is a gas fee of $7
So for an average artist, who would buy their NFTs? I get that people would buy beats and audio files from very popular artists though.
For an average artist focus on collaborating with digital artists and come up with a unique NFT collection.
You mention the ownership aspect, how can one really be safe-guarded without registering your works with a PRO (PRS, ASCAP etc.). As you mentioned anyone can rip a track, surely the only solid protection you have is to register your music?

Great video btw, much appreciated.
Good idea tha Shazam thing
How much is usually the Gas Fee?
You must feature Listen NFT next time! This one is unique since it aims to raise funds for the vulnerable children in the world.
I’ll definitely look into it for next MFT vid, thank you!
Can you do collabs on the site where it pays two parties equally or a set percentage if sold?
You can def do collabs but as of right now OpenSea doesn’t have a way to split the pay. I did a collab with a digital artist where I made a beat and he made the visuals and we just had a deal when it sells he would pay me half. So he minted it and when it sold he transferred half of the sale ETH to my wallet. I really hope someday Opensea does this automatically
Hey! good contents :) Did you pay the gas fee for selling your NFT beats?
Thank you! With Opensea you only pay for the first one after than they are free to mint
im hoping the buying community would understand the illegtimacy of owning a "plagurised" peice of music. or atleast understsand the value behind owning a rop off over the original.
Nfts and loop kits? 😱
I'm not an artist I just want to know how I buy the NFTs off of the artist?
Find the artist on Opensea (or whichever platform they use) and look for their NFTs on their profile
Why not sell beats the old fashion way?
You can always do that :) NFT is a new space and it works differently. Turning your beats into a collectable that you earn royalties on every time it gets sold is just another way to make money as a musician / producer
Why list it at such a low price, (0.03). How did you come to that number to start your listing?? I would imagine since you are selling your hard earned work, you’d want to start the listing at a higher amount. Any tips on this would be much appreciated! Great video otherwise!
